Sri Venkateswara College - University of Delhi

Sri Venkateswara College is a college of the University of Delhi in India. The College is considered to be one of the leading educational institutions in the country.

Founded under the auspices of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust, the primary objective of the College was to cater to the educational needs of students from South India. The foundation stone of the College building was laid on 20 August 1961, by Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former President of India. The College began functioning modestly in 1961 in a school building of the Andhra Education Society at Rouse Avenue, New Delhi, with 271 students and 13 Faculty members. It moved into its own spacious buildings located at Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi on 25 August 1969.

The initial objective to start a college at Delhi by the TTD was to cater to the educational needs of students hailing from the Southern States of India. The College commenced with B.A. courses in Telugu and Tamil, besides Hindi and Sanskrit as the subjects in Modern Indian Languages.

The institution soon outgrew its regional character and has now become one of the most sought after co-educational colleges of India.
