The desire to share knowledge and the dream to make education accessible to all brought together three visionaries, Smt Durgabai Deshmukh, Shri K. L. Rao and Shri C. Anna Rao in the early decades of India’s independence. The aim was to craft a dynamic space for knowledge sharing that would seamlessly blend traditional values, learning with modern outlook and rationale in the heart of our country, Delhi. The dream blossomed into reality with the aid and encouragement rendered by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and Sri Venkateswara College made its modest beginnings in Andhra Education Society 1961.
The foundation stone of the present day campus in Dhaula Kuan was laid in the same year by eminent Indian philosopher and statesman Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Since then, the Upanishadic principle “Truth through self-education” has been the guiding principle in all our endeavors. Thus, began our journey in shaping sensitive, balanced global citizens of tomorrow whose heart is cultured in indigenous values and mind is sharpened in critical thinking. The College relentlessly pursued the ideals set by founders and taken pride in creating a holistic learning atmosphere for students from diverse backgrounds at a minimum cost in the national capital for more than six decades.
Sri Venkateswara college offers a platform for students from diverse backgrounds to excel in academics, research, cultural as well as social activities and sports. We take pride in the fact that “Venkyites” in today’s world are known for their penchant to excel in all walks of life.
