Sri Venkateswara College is a constituent college of the University of Delhi in India, providing undergraduate education in liberal arts, science and commerce. It was one of the 47 colleges spread over 14 states and union territories and 32 universities that were awarded "College with Potential for Excellence" status in 2004 by the Indian University Grants Commission. However the status was stripped off of the college in the year 2011 because it failed to get the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) approval. It is one of the colleges selected in 2011 by the Indian government Department of Biotechnology under the Star College Scheme for strengthening of education and training in life science and biotechnology at undergraduate level.
Founded under the auspices of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust, as a result of the efforts of K. L. Rao and C. Anna Rao, the primary objective of the college was to cater to the education needs of students from South India. It soon outgrew its regional character.
The college started up in 1961 in a school building of the Andhra Education Society in Rouse Avenue, New Delhi, with 271 students and 13 faculty members.[6] The foundation stone of the present campus was laid on 20 August 1961 by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former president of India (then vice-president). The college moved into this newly constructed campus at Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi, on 25 August 1969.
The college came into being through the vision of Durgabai Deshmukh, K. L. Rao and C. Anna Rao in 1961. 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 began opening academic departments in other disciplines: Maths and Statistics, English, Political Science, History, Botany, and Zoology. The Department of Chemistry, which had initially provided chemistry papers for other departments, was permitted to conduct its own honours course in 1983. Honours courses in physics, electronics, and biochemistry began in 1993.
