The University of Delhi achieved a significant distinction in terms of being recognized as the Institution of Eminence (IoE) by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. A well-deserved recognition that has been achieved as a result of the continuing efforts and contribution of our students, researchers, teachers and the administrative staff. This distinction is extraordinary in the sense that the competition for a limited number of institutions to be so recognized by the MHRD was both serious and severe. Our stakeholders deserve to be congratulated for this remarkable accomplishment.
