Gargi College was established in the year 1967 and is a leading South Campus college of the University of Delhi. It is a college for women and offers education in Arts and Humanities, Commerce, Science and Education.
Gargi College was named after an enlightened woman named Gargi, figuring in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishada of the Vedic Age. She emerges as an intelligent and bold person embodying the spirit of inquiry juxtaposed with faith as is shown by her penetrating and challenging questions to the great sage Yajnavalkya. In the Upanishad Gargi seems to represent the intellectual potential of the race of Homo sapiens, which continues to manifest itself , in quest of ever-widening fields of knowledge.
"Education is not the mere accumulation of information, but the training of the mind to think, understand, and apply knowledge for capability development."
It is both an honour and a privilege to serve as the Principal of Gargi College as we approach the momentous milestone of our Diamond Jubilee. For nearly six decades, this institution has stood for academic excellence, intellectual freedom and women’s empowerment. I gratefully acknowledge the generations of educators, students, staff, and alumni who have shaped its journey.
