About IoE

Introduction

The strategy was aimed at funding and a holistic review of the university’s functions, including teaching, research, and funding practices. Additionally, an appeal for increased government support for higher education was firmly made, highlighting India’s rich academic heritage. Given the high-quality education, extensive programs, and large student body, substantial resource allocation was sought by the University of Delhi to sustain its excellence and bolster India’s global standing.
