VISION“Jnanam vigyana sahityam”

To preserve the values of vedic wisdom at one end emphasizing the modern scientific knowledge.

MISSION“Satyat na pramaditavyam”

Body, mind and the spirit - all three should be adequately proportionally developed in a balanced manner.

About The CollegeThe Choice of every student….

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD)

engaged in the management of the sacred hill

temple of Lord Sri Venkateswara at Tirupati

(Andhra Pradesh) believes that the temple as a

place of worship must bring about national

integration and, schools and colleges should

light up the path of devotion through education

and enlightenment. Inspired by its zeal to spread

the spiritual values and indian culture, a devout

scholar and an active social worker Dr. Durgabai

Deshmukh engaged some of the finest thinkers of

modern India like Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan,

Dr. C. Anna Rao and Dr. K.L. Rao to establish Sri

Venkateswara College at New Delhi under its

aegis in 1961.

Located today in Dhaula Kuan and

acknowledged as the South Campus’s numero

uno co-educational college offering a wide-

ranging bouquet of up to date study programmes

and boasting an enrolment strength rivaling

many a small university, it has expanded over the

half century adapting dynamically and

continually to felt needs and the emerging

educational demands of the times. The College

imparts high quality education to students

through innovative pedagogy and modern

training facilities, provides holistic personality

development through strong academics coupled

with active participation in co-curricular

programmes that include fine arts, sports and

leadership training. The objective is to develop a

sense of ethics and responsibility in students and

to broaden their perspectives so that they are

able to succeed in today’s global, competitive

and dynamic environment. The four guiding

principles of the doctrine of indian culture,

namely, dedication and duty, material well-being

for the benefit of society, pleasure of meaningful

living and salvation through self-knowledge

were meant and remain still the chosen ideals

vivifying its branches of arts, humanities and

sciences in the college. Unsurprisingly then, it is

perceived as a feather in the cap of today’s

student community to be able to say that they are

a “Venkyite” – a popular mantle many aspire to,

but only a fraction of the aspirants will ultimately

be able to actually claim.

The first �me I entered the SVC building was as an uncertain teenager, not knowing what to do or where to go. It was u�er chaos. And here I am today, three years later standing at the brink of gradua�on, and all that seems miles away. The college has taught me to be self dependent and self confident at all �mes. To be who you are and to do what you want. College has been the perfect push that I needed and for that I'll be ever grateful. I am what I am today because of SVC.

Shriya Roy, BA English III yr

In my second year of BA Economics at SVC, I got an opportunity to work on an Innova�on project that required collabora�on with the department of Biochemistry. As a part of our study we had to document the socio‐economic and health condi�ons of migrant labour in Delhi NCR. It was an extremely enriching experience for me as this was the first �me we took our learning outside the classroom! We received excellent guidance from our professors. It was truly an interdisciplinary learning experience and working on this project was one of the highlights of my college life !

from First Year, the opportunity to not just compete but also

integrate and mingle with other students from the College. In

this way they forge important rela�onships with their peers

and also become contribu�ng members of the vibrant

This year's theme was, 'Bollywood ‐ Lights Camera Ac�on’ and was the first �me ever that SVC FAA was covered by Delhi Times for it's innova�ve marke�ng style. Having renowned names like Nizami Bandhu (Sufi Night), Raghu Dixit (Rock Night), and Kailash Kher (Star Night) perform this year took Nexus to new heights. FAA this year worked as a family, where all members equally contributed to make 2016 ‐ 17 a great year. This journey has been a learning experience for me and FAA will always remain close to my heart.”
