In 1911, the seat of British India's sovereignty was moved from Calcutta to Delhi. The Viceroy of India lived at the Viceregal Lodge Estate until October 1933, when it was donated to the University of Delhi. Since then, it has hosted the vice-office chancellor's as well as other offices.

Sir Maurice Gwyer became Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi when he arrived in India in 1937 to serve as Chief Justice of British India. During his tenure at the university, postgraduate teaching courses were offered, and laboratories were constructed. Daulat Singh Kothari, a physicist, and Panchanan Maheshwari, a botanist, were among the faculty members. Gwyer has been dubbed the "university-maker." He held the position of Vice-Chancellor until 1950.

The university's silver jubilee year, 1947, coincided with India's independence, and Vijayendra Kasturi Ranga Varadaraja Rao hoisted the national flag for the first time in the main building. Due to India's partition, there was no convocation ceremony that year. Instead, in 1948, a special ceremony was held, with then-Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Lord Mountbatten, Lady Mountbatten, Abul Kalam Azad, Zakir Husain, and Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar in attendance. The golden jubilee celebrations of 1973 were attended by then-Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Satyajit Ray, Amrita Pritam, and M. S. Subbulakshmi, twenty-five years later.

History

History is the study of all that humans have done, both individually and collectively, in the past. Politics, economics, culture, religion, society, and gender concerns are all covered in these degrees. You will often have a choice of periods to study, but whether you choose the Tudors or the twentieth century, you will likely cover all of these topics.
A history degree will equip you with the skills to evaluate, discuss, and debate. It will assist you in developing a feeling of the past, increasing cultural awareness, and understanding how societies and values have changed over time.
Your first year will most likely be a broad introduction to the discipline, so you'll study about what happened in previous centuries as well as the many materials historians use to gather and interpret information. Your final two years will often be devoted to studying specific periods and subjects in greater depth.
