Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR), a premier educational institution of the University of Delhi.LSR was established in 1956 by late Sir Shri Ram in memory of his wife. His commitment to the cause of education was not merely philanthropic but was integral to his idea of nation building. Today, LSR has evolved into a gateway to excellence. We not only prove ourselves in academics but also in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. A look at the many university rank holders across departments as well as the number of awards won at national and international sports and cultural competitions, the numerous distinguished visitors as well as the multitude of societies that college is buzzing with bears testimony to the rich tapestry that characterises LSR.
Our record of excellence has been acknowledged repeatedly by assessments made by many independent and reputed surveys. We have been consistently ranked as No. 1 college in India for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. We are also proud that LSR scored an A+ grade with CGPA of 3.61 awarded by NAAC. LSR has climbed to the fifth position in the third National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) India rankings 2019. Our score in Graduation Outcomes (which is a reflection of academic and employability status of students) is the best at 93.81. Our students benefit from a robust Placement Cell that works with the individual students throughout the year. Our excellence is recognized by the MHRD that instituted an Institution Innovation Council at Lady Shri Ram College. We are one of the very few non-technical institutions in the country to be granted this recognition.
LSR stands for Leadership with Social Responsibility. As an example of our commitment to social responsibility, LSR offers very liberal, need-based free-ship and scholarship programmes. These enable students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to be part of LSR and their perspectives enrich the classroom. While our students become global citizens through our numerous international exchange programmes or by securing admission in the best universities in the world, we are equally focused on rooting them in their social contexts. The students participate in many outreach programmes that allows them to transform lives around them. REACH, an acronym for Reaffirming Equity, Access, Capacity and Humanism, is an initiative that acts as the equal opportunity cell of the college. It provides an inclusive platform and enhances the strength and capabilities of students coming from diverse backgrounds.
Teaching-Learning is at the core of the institutional ethos. We follow a student-centric approach. Teachers are trained as empowered agents to bring social change.The classroom is looked upon as a site of engaged learning, reflective action and participatory pedagogy. We have ICT enabled classrooms, state of the art seminar halls, open space and common rooms. It is a matter of pride that NAAC have given us 100% marks for our infrastructure.
We also take pride in being an environmentally conscious institution. We follow the cardinal principle of Reduce, Re-use and Recycle. We have been taking several initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint and will continue to do so. We have been getting the Green Shield from Delhi University for the last eighteen years as an acknowledgement of our clean and green campus.
The college, while proud of its past achievements, is marching ahead on its journey to achieve excellence.
