PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS
Honourable Chief Guest, Shri. Vijay Kumar Dev, Chairman, Governing Body, Shri
Rajesh Dabas, distinguished guests, dear colleagues and my dear students. I take
immense pleasure in presenting you the Annual Report 2012-13 of Rajdhani College.
From the destined day of 1964, when Rajdhani College became an integral part of the
University of Delhi, it has followed the culture and tradition of excellence in the
diverse fields of education, sports, and co-curricular activities of its students with the
help of its enthusiastic and dynamic staff. Our college today is looked upon by the
academic community of Delhi as one of the most excellent institutions for its
progressive outlook towards teaching, learning and co-curricular nature. We are
committed to providing an enabling environment in which holistic growth of every
student is possible.
Here, amongst us is a very distinguished guest Mr. Vijay Kumar Dev, an IAS officer
of AGMUT Cadre, 1987 batch presently Chief Electoral Officer, New Delhi. He has
served in the various departments and ministries under Government of India. I
welcome him, on the behalf of our faculty and students community on this auspicious
day. I also express my gratitude to our Chairman Mr. Rajesh Dabas who has always
acted as a navigator to our college. He has been very proactive in the different
activities of our college and has always encouraged students and faculty members.
With our ever expanding student community and staff, we have committed ourselves
to provide them with sound infrastructural facilities for their overall development. To
fulfill this commitment, in the Academic session of 2012-13, lot of infrastructural
changes in the college premises have taken place:
• The first and the foremost being Renovation of College canteen – the college
canteen has been renovated completely. It has turned out to be one of the best
canteens of the colleges under the University of Delhi.
• Mathematical Computer Lab has been constructed above the Staff-room on
the II Floor and has become functional.
• Two more class-rooms have been constructed on the II Floor of the Arts Block.
1 • Renovation of the main office is in progress and will be completed soon.
• The inauguration of the New Block in college has already been done and the
work is in progress. The college will have the new Block ready by the end of the
year.
To keep up the commitment of our inclusive growth, Capacity Building Programme
for Civil Services Coaching for SC/ST/OBC and Minorities, sponsored by UGC (under
11th Five year Plan) under the Convenorship of Shafiq-ul-Alam is running successfully
in the college.
Keeping the Cultural ethos of Rajdhani College alive, the Birth Anniversaries of the
icons of social justice like Valmiki, Dr Baba Sahab Ambedker, and Sant Guru
Ravi Das were celebrated with much fanfare.
Rajdhani College being a pioneer co-educational Institution, students from different
parts of the country travel from distant places to be a part of it. We take enormous
pride in offering them the undergraduate courses in Humanities, Sciences, and
Commerce. We also offer postgraduate courses in English, Hindi, History and
Commerce. Our main aim is to provide a rigorous academic environment where
students can excel.
I would now like to bring to your attention the number of students who have taken
admission in our college. There has been a tremendous growth in percentage of
students’ intake. We have in the Academic year 2012-13 a total of 3164 students.
Amongst undergraduate courses taught in the college, Humanities has 1499

The tradition of academic excellence at the college and university level was carried

amidst Disaster” at Ist WDC International Conference organized by the Women

esteemed colleagues who were involved in Major or Minor Research Projects,

Symposiumsand Workshops, Authored / co-authored articles, and Contributed as
Resource Persons / Supervisors / Special Lectures / PG Teaching/ Judged events.
National service scheme (NSS) of the college aims to inculcate among college going
student a sense of responsibility towards society. As the youngest citizen in terms of
3 voting age, the community of students can play great role in nation-building. Young
minds carry largest amount of idealism and have huge energy to attain them. NSS
volunteers were actively engaged in organizing various activities reflecting leadership
qualities and social concerns. 3 NSS Volunteers participated in Shimla Adventure
Camp between 04 -06-2012 to 13-06-2012, 2 NSS volunteers participated in
Gyanodya Yatra organized by University of Delhi in the month of June, 10
volunteers participated in 2012 International Youth Exchange Program in month of
June, One NSS Volunteer participated in Gandhi Darshan Yatra organized by
University of Delhi, 51 volunteers participated in “My Earth My Duty Program”
jointly organized by University of Delhi and ZEE TV and 18 NSS volunteers attended
The International Drugs Day on 25th June, 2012.
In the academic year 2012-13, National Cadet Corps (Girls’ Wing) of the college
performed brilliantly under the dynamic leadership of Associate NCC-Officer Beena
Sharma. JUO Saloni Goel made us proud by becoming a part of NCC contingent in
Guard of Honour in the Republic Day Parade. JUO Komal Jangra participated in
All India Thal Sainik Camp and secured I position in Map-reading competition along
with Cadet Rinki who also attended the same camp. JUO Anu has been a starperformer through the year. She not only participated in Thal Sainik Camp but also
bagged many prizes. She participated in Parasailing and won the best shooter
(Nahavalankar). She received Bronze medal in the All India Shooting Competition.
Cadet Rehana and Cadet Sushma participated in group-dance at the P.M. Rally and
performed in front of the Prime Minister. 6 cadets attended the NIC Mysore from 15th
to 26th December, 2013. Our cadets stood first in Group-song competition. They also
made an outstanding NIAP presentation. SUO Babita Gautam was a part of NCC
contingent in Republic Day Parade and was awarded as the Cadet with Best turnout.
To enhance the argumentative skills of the students the Debating Society organized
Intra-college and Inter-college debates. Our students also participated in, and won
prizes at various Inter-college events.
Friends, there’s no limit possible to the expanding horizons of each one of us! Keeping
this in mind various Departments of the college organized National Seminars and
workshops and various Cultural and Educational programmes. Such as INSPIRE
Science Camp 2013 winter session at Rajdhani College, Delhi University, sponsored
4 by Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India and a National Seminar with
Lecture Series on “Sanskrit and Science” in collaboration with Delhi Sanskrit
Academy at Rajdhani College.
The Innovation Project being carried by Dr. S.K. Dhaka from the Department of
Physics and Electronics and Mr. Arun Kumar from the Department of Mathematics
on the theme of “Impact of Environmental Changes” has been widely appreciated.
Keeping the spirit of democracy alive, this academic year has also witnessed the
revival of Students’ Union and its election was conducted in peaceful manner. With
the active cooperation of our Chairman Shri Rajesh Dabas, the Students’ Union
successfully organized a two-day Cultural Festival THUNDERSTRUCK 2013 with
enthusiastic participation from different colleges,Universities and popular stars.
One area of our college where everyone feels relaxed and can interact with each other
and use the available resources, is a technology-rich environment of our Library. Our
library now has an exclusive faculty reading corner, 25 computers with internet
facility, printers and subscription to e-journals, intended to meet the expectations of the
current Net-generation. Our library has more than one lakh scholarly books on various
subjects and subscribes 15 newspapers and around 55 magazines and research journals.
Automation process has been speeded up in this academic session. The computer
cataloguing is in progress and once this is completed our students will have details of
all the books on a click of a button. Library has also started newspaper clipping service
focusing on the higher education. Library staff is willing to obtain feedback from
academic staff and students to act upon their suggestions.
This is an era of global opportunities and to add on to our teaching we are also looking
for avenues of exchange and scholarship available for our students and staff through
partnership with international universities and colleges around the globe. To fulfill this
dream we need the guidance and help of our Honourable Chief Guest. Sir, we are
dedicated to building a strong national and international reputation and in my
continued efforts to support teaching and learning, I have made it a priority to expand
all the necessary resources in various subject areas.
The following members of the non-teaching staff were also promoted this year: Sh.
Shobha Ram promoted as Lab Assistant in the Department of Chemistry,13 February,
5 2013. At the same time, we feel the void created due to retirement of our very
esteemed colleagues Mr. Krishan Kumar, Associate Professor, Department of
Commerce, and Dr. H.M. Lumb, Associate Professor, Department of Physics and
Electronics and the retirement of some non-teaching staff: Sh. Hans Raj, Lab
attendant, Physics and Electronics, (voluntary retirement), Sh. Rao Dalip Singh, Semi
Professional Assistant, Sh. Prem Chand, Lab Assistant, Physics and Electronics, Sh.
Murli Manohar, Lab Assistant, Chemistry. I would also like to express my deep
sorrow over the sad demise of Sh. Narender who served as Assistant in Accounts
Section of our college.
Before I conclude, I would like to say just one thing to our students. All the facilities
provided to our students show our dedication to the highest educational standards. I
request the students to avail all the facilities and learn from the experience and
expertise of the faculty. A very famous quote is quite apt here: “The will to win is
important, but the will to prepare is vital.” My dear students your college life is a
stepping stone to a greater experience and I wish you all the success in coming
examinations.
I take this opportunity to thank all the members of the Governing Body, my colleagues
(teaching and non-teaching) and students for their hard work, dedication and
unwavering support throughout the academic year 2012-13. I would also like to thank
all the convenors and members of various committees for their team effort in
organising this function and making it a success.
With this, I would like to end on a note of gratitude to Shri Vijay Kumar Dev, Chief
Electoral Officer, our Chairperson Shri Rajesh Dabas and all other distinguished guests
for gracing this occasion and spending their valuable time with us and our students.
Hon’ble Chief Guest, today I feel a very unusual sensation and I would like to thank
you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom just depths of
love.
Thank you very much!

TREKKING, MOUNTAINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
CLUB
The Trekking and Mountaineering Club organized an adventure trip for the students
to Solang Valley, Manali. The team of 30 students and 5 teachers was lead by Dr.
H.M. Lumb. Apart from Dr. H.M. Lumb, the faculty members that accompanied
students from across disciplines were Dr. Savita Nigam, Dr. Suruchi, Ms. Rachns Sethi
and Mr. Nawal Kishore. The group was flagged off by the Principal, Dr. Vijay Laxmi
Pandit on September 21, 2012 from the college.
After a night halt for dinner the team reached the camp site the next day. For most of
the students it was the first experience of staying in tents. They were given basic
35 knowledge and demonstration about pitching up of tents. On the same day, that is
September 22, the team took a small acclimatization trek and had a relaxing evening
by the water side. The next morning (September23) was the trek to Solang
Valley(8400 feet) through villages, fields and apple orchards. While a group of
students went up to Dhundi(10,300 feet) others enjoyed activities like paragliding and
zorbing at Solang. The group returned tired, excited and enjoying fresh apples to the
camp in the evening. However that was not the end of the exciting day, delectable
dinner, bonfire and horror story sessions continued late into the night.
The next day was planned for adventure activities. The students were given detailed
instructions about river crossing as it is a thin line between adventure and danger.
Everyone had a wonderful time at river crossing taking more than one turn at it and
generally having a good time by the water. Post lunch the students were taken for
rappelling right opposite the camp site. They were shown how to use the harness and
manage body weight while climbing down a vertical rock. Rains descended in the
evening and people returned to their tents for exchange of experiences and wide
ranging discussions.
On the morning of September 25, 2012 the group started making preparations for
leaving the picturesque camp site surrounded by snow peaks and orchards. The
students were taught how to pack up tents and to clean up the site. A trip to the
mountains offers the joy of living in the midst of serene beauty and imbibing physical
and mental toughness. At the same time it is meant to inculcate a sense of respect and
preservation of nature, which students begin to realize within the short duration of a
trip. The group made a brief halt at the Mall in Manali for food and shopping before
heading back to the hustle of Delhi and college life.
The faculty members organized a small function for Dr H.M. Lumb in the last week of
November in honour of his retirement; he has been a true team leader initiating,
inspiring and encouraging students and teachers alike with passion of trekking.
