Dear Aspirant to Higher Education,

Thank you for considering Gargi College as an institution of choice for pursuing higher education.  The college is named after Gargi, the great woman sage featuring in the Upanishads, whose wisdom and knowledge made her excel in debates and discussions with the men scholars of her age.  Her epoch making successes in creating new paradigms for women empowerment, of chartering new paths and freeing the mind of dogmatic shackles, serve as the guiding spirit for the vision and mission of this college. The college launches its students on an exciting journey of discovery of the world outside and the potential within.  It is a veritable hub for total personality development.

The college can boast of an academically sound and committed faculty, who impart education in classroom and e-learning modes.  Seminars, summer workshops and add on courses serve to open new windows beyond the curriculum, through interface with other experts in academia and the industry.  We aim to kindle in our youth a passion for research, innovation and creativity.  The recently launched ‘The Gargi Pathfinder Award’ is one of the many incentives provided for fulfilling this passion.  Professional training is imparted in the areas of sports and performing arts.   Several avenues are available for experiencing the emotional rewards of service to the less fortunate, such as NSS, NCC and the Women’s Development Cell.   

The college has an excellent infrastructure that includes computer laboratories, free internet, a library with computerized catalogue and issue systems, a seminar hall furnished with state of the art projection systems, classrooms fitted with audio-visual gadgets, renovated science laboratories with latest model equipments, a bioinformatics laboratory, a research wing and an upcoming new auditorium.  Other amenities include a placement cell, “Retreat” (the students’ common room), a film club a cafeteria, and an impressively vast sports field, among others.  Extremely courteous and helpful administrative staff are always available to guide the students through all procedural formalities.
.  
In 2004 Gargi College was one of two colleges of the University of Delhi to be awarded the title College with Potential for Excellence by the University Grants Commission.  In 2007 and 2009 appreciation for the activities of the College in fulfilling this potential was reinforced by additional grants.  Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Government of India has conferred the title Star College and also bestowed a grant to set up a bioinformatics laboratory. 

It is the constant endeavour of the college community to help its students acquire a cutting edge advantage in whatever path they choose to pursue after graduation.  I hope you will be among the privileged to be our fellow traveler in our journey of discovery and capacity building.  I extend my best wishes to you for fulfilling your aspirations.
