Sri Venkateswara College(DU) — Local services in New Delhi

ri Venkateswara College is a constituent college of the University of Delhi established in 1961 in New Delhi, India. It is managed by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams & UGC and awards degrees under the purview of the University of Delhi. The college offers courses both at the undergraduate level and the postgraduate level. Vocational courses and short-term add-on courses that serve as significant supplement to the academic profiles of the students are offered by the college. Admissions are done purely based on merit and as per the Delhi University norms. It is ranked 14th among colleges in India by NIRF, 2022.Subsequently, in 2021 Outlook has ranked it: 6th in the Humanities stream, 9th in the Science stream and 13th in Commerce stream. It was founded under the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust, as a result of the efforts of Durgabai Deshmukh, who was a member of the constituent assembly of India and founder of the Andhra Education Society in Delhi (1948). She approached K. L. Rao (Member of Parliament) and C. Anna Rao (CEO of TTD),after realising the acute shortage of a degree-level college in the city. The primary objective of the college was to cater to the education needs of students from South India. Sri Venkateswara College came into being through the vision of Durgabai Deshmukh, K. L. Rao and C. Anna Rao in 1961. Initially starting off as a BA pass college, it began by offering B.A. courses in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Sanskrit. Within few years of acquiring its new campus, and led by its principal V Krishnamoorthy, the college introduced honours courses in arts and science. In 1973 the University of Delhi recognised it as one of its constituent colleges, paving the way for future expansion. From its beginning with just language courses, the college now has academic departments in other disciplines: Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, English, Political Science, History, Botany, and Zoology. The Department of Chemistry which initially provided chemistry papers for other departments was permitted to conduct its own honours course in 1983. Honours courses in Physics (1993), Electronics (1987), and Biochemistry (1989) began. It is a fairly young college in comparison to others of the university which provide honours courses.

Infrastructure developments were undertaken starting from 2006 using fund accrued under CPE, Star College, OBC expansion fund, Golden Jubilee fund and TTD grants. The status of College with Potential for Excellence (UGC 2004) and Star College (DBT 2011) were awarded; CPE was withdrawn in 2011 because of lack of NAAC accreditation which is absent in all of Delhi colleges.Pass courses in BA, BSc, BCom, Life Science, Biological Science and Honours in Tamil and Telugu were...

For Pgs read my third paragraph of this review.

Really this college lie on very prime location. Durga bai desmukh south campus metro(Pink line) station touches the road side boundary of the college, one may get directly into the college from metro station exit, through the college's backside entrance. And also nearest bus depot is "Satayaniketan". One may easily find PGs, cafe, hangout places, stationary, photocopy shops just in front of the college, people often call this place as "Satya". College comprise couple of buildings as you can also see in the satelight images. Inside college one may find rock garden, botanical garden, stationary shop, maggi shop besides canteen and yes also Andhra Bank south campus branch.

So, in front side of this college there is a colony named Satya niketan (Satya in short), moti bagh is situated colony after Satya niketan, there you may find some of the pgs. There are two ways to find pgs.. 1- By the help of broker/property dealers: they will ask you some amount of money(around half of the money you pay for pg, it may vary broker to broker) only for first month when you live in some pg.

2- Directly contacting owner- you can make a better deal in this case.

You might be thinking, why don't everyone visit directly to owner? The reason is that many owners have not advertised for their pgs, dealer don't take money from them for the same. So, in that case you can grab those pgs only through dealers.

I personally visited this place, hygienic wise area is okay- okay, I won't say there is too much cleanliness, all the facilities like grocery stores, transport, doctor facilities are there.

For girls, one may find a descent pg @ 6-8k without mess. If money is not barrier for you then you can also go at higher price range. ##Case study: I directly contacted a owner for girls PG price range was 6k person. It was safe cleanliness was maintained inside the pg, a maid everyday visits PG for cleaning washroom/toilets and for brooming. Maid can also cook food for you on your demand (but would take 1200 INR for the same for one month). Furnitures present inside pg were a bed, almirah, table and chair with cooler and fan, separate bathroom- washroom for each room, common freezer and kitchen for all the room, RO purifier.

For boys PGs ranges from 4-6 k per head, you can also go on higher price range for more luxury. Basic furniture would already be there, like bed, table, chair. Case study: one of my friend got a PG, with one room+separate kitchen+ separate bathroom+balcony. All room was descent and marble on the floor. There was no other family on that floor. Just getting short of time, I will update this article by 12 th feb. for boys PG.
