Lady Shri Ram College for Women: An Overview
Lady Shri Ram College for Women has long been recognized as a premier institution of higher
learning for women in India and has been consistently ranked as one of the top colleges in the
country in nationwide polls. A centre of academic excellence and achievement, it is today one of the
finest institutions for Social Sciences, Humanities and Commerce, while also offering B.Sc.
Programmes in Mathematics and Statistics. Professional Courses like Elementary Education and
Journalism and the flagship diploma course in Conflict Transformation and Peace Building are among
its strengths. Located at the cutting edge of knowledge, LSR has not just kept pace with the changing
world but has been the pioneering spirit behind many innovations in the field of education. Established
in 1956 in the capital city of India, by the late Sir Shri Ram in the memory of his wife, LSR had its
modest beginnings in a school building in Daryaganj with 243 students, 9 faculty, 4 support staff and
3 distinct courses of study. Today, it is located in a beautiful 15 acre campus in South Delhi, has over
3500 students, about 150 faculty members, 80 administrative and support staff and 15 courses of
study. In the early years, LSR provided a safe haven for young girls from conservative families who
would otherwise be denied quality higher education. Today young women flock to the college from
not just every part of India but from several other neighbouring countries too.
LSR has established its reputation as a training ground for women achievers who have broken the
glass ceiling in different areas of endeavour. One of its most important strengths is the faculty which
is known for its professionalism and commitment. The emphasis is on innovative pedagogic practices
which encourage students to think critically. LSR fosters a spirit of academic excellence, informed
by humanism and a celebration of diversity and inclusivity. The vision is to empower young women
to be leaders and change agents who are at the same time sensitive to social issues and problems.
The alumna of LSR have done pioneering work in a variety of fields – education (both urban and
rural), law, media, government, the NGO sector and the corporate world. Yet many have also left
promising corporate careers to work for the community. LSR has a dynamic Office of International
Programmes that has initiated collaborations with universities across the globe. Students participate
on a regular basis in international conferences and LSR has organized and hosted prestigious
international seminars and short courses for faculty and students from varied countries. If LSR today
is seen as an acronym for Leadership with Social Responsibility, it is because of the constant
endeavour to sensitize students to using the privilege of their higher education as a resource for the
community.
LSR has consistently highlighted issues of violence against women and has initiated sensitization
programmes on gender related issues. To provide a truly inclusive environment it has a state of the
art Resource Centre that enables differently abled and lesser privileged students to access the
latest assistive technology. Along with academics, the stress is also on extra-curricular and co-
curricular activities. LSR has an extremely active National Service Scheme, National Sports

An Overview
Organization and National Cadet Corps. In addition there are several societies for extra-curricular
activities like Debating, Dramatics, Dancing, Music and Creative Writing. The student societies work
throughout the year at an impressive pitch providing avenues for the expression of the creative
potential of the student community. LSR perceives the real challenge to be that of infusing in students
a sensibility that can differentiate between just making a career and having a vocation. To help
students assume leadership of movements of social transformation, LSR has nurtured four Innovative
Programmes – the Voluntary Agency Placement Programme which provides opportunities for students
to make a positive contribution to community development and social welfare, Dhyana the Society
for Consciousness and Awareness which encourages experiential learning, the Women’s
Development Cell which engages with women’s issues and REACH which is an acronym for
Reaffirming Equity, Access, Capacity and Humanism and deals with issues of affirmative and inclusive
learning.

Principal’s Report
Greetings from the Principal, Lady Shri Ram College for Women.
LSR is a premier educational institution of the University of Delhi with

the exemplary mission to nurture young women who are equipped to
achieve success in a rapidly changing, deeply inter-connected world.
LSR was established by the late Sir Shri Ram in the memory of his wife
in 1956. Sir Shri Ram was a visionary and philanthropist who saw
education as imperative to augmenting India’s growth as a modern
nation.
We have come a long way from those early years. Today, the LSR community is a leading place
for women to emerge as ‘sheroes’ of the world. Be it academics, extra-curricular or co-curricular
activities, LSR has proven itself time and again. Even in monumentally challenging times such
as these, with the pandemic, LSR has emerged as a beacon of excellence.
We ranked 2nd in the country-wide NIRF rankings. We now prepare for and look forward to the
second cycle of the NAAC accreditation process.
LSR has successfully completed the transition back to offline education. We continue to pursue
our goal of equity in the offline learning spaces.
Our world-class faculty is trained from some of the best places and update themselves
consistently.
LSR is a truly global community. We partake in multiple outreach programmes, international

exchange programmes and initiatives. Students, in the course of their study, come across several
outreach programmes that give them access to transform lives and the world around them.
LSR has infrastructure that is world class as well. We have ICT-enabled classrooms, state-of-the-
art seminar halls, open space and common rooms. We are proud that NAAC has given us 100%
marks for our infrastructure.
We have continued to hold numerous workshops and sessions. IQAC LSR recently organised
an online certificate course titled ‘Mathematics Teaching in the Online Mode: Pedagogical
Opportunities and Challenges’ with the aim to orient pre-service Mathematics teachers with
opportunities provided by digital tools and other innovative methods for mathematics learning.
The Department of Mathematics under the aegis of the IQAC organized a guest lecture on the
topic “Efficient Solutions of Sparse System of Linear Equations” by Prof. Ramesh Chand Mittal,
Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Jaypee Institute of Information and Technology.
The Finance, Investment and Crisis Understanding Cell of the Economics department conducted
its flagship FISCUL Week with the aim of creating awareness, initiating dialogue and promoting
5
learning while incorporating elements from complex real-world problems.
The Library organized a variety of exhibitions this year highlighting several themes and topics.
I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Library Staff for making all of
this possible.
Our student societies are an integral part of LSR’s excellence. Our department associations,
societies and students make this campus a dynamic, lively and creative place all around the
year.
LSR has active and energetic NSO (National Sports Organization) and NCC (National Cadet
Corps) units with essential infrastructure and dedicated staff members. Our students have bagged
numerous gold medals in many competitions.
LSR students constantly engage with larger social causes. The activities of the NSS unit reflect
this spirit. This year NSS LSR celebrated the National Youth Day (or Yuva Diwas) organised to
commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. On the occasion of Makar Sankranti,
NSS-LSR in collaboration with the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav program, organized a Surya
Namaskar session. It also held a documentary screening and quiz on National Girl Child Day.
With the threat of global warming and climate change on the rise, it is necessary on our part to
foster environmental awareness. In that spirit, LSR observed the Environmental Week this year.
Students and faculty organized exhibitions and art installations which highlighted various
environmental concerns. These initiatives were well appreciated by the University of Delhi team
which visited the college.
I am happy to share that LSR won the Green Cup once again this year. We are indeed proud of
our lush green lawns. I want to express my gratitude to our committed garden staff who work
tirelessly to maintain this beautiful campus. Our commitment to sustainable development is well
reflected in our energetic pursuit of the Recycle and Reuse policy. Our innovative practices and
initiatives result in wide coverage of LSR by local and national media.
The Placement Season was unprecedented this year. The number of offers increased by 20%
as compared to last year’s statistics, with the highest offer given to Avni Kainth from the Statistics
Department at Rs. 40 lacs per annum.
I would also like to note with great satisfaction that in line with our commitment to be inclusive
and egalitarian, the college offers liberal, need-based free-ship and scholarship programmes.
Friends, LSR’s accomplishments have been possible because of my faculty and colleagues
who work persistently to create and sustain the ‘magic of LSR’. They show exemplary
6
professionalism and total dedication to the institution. Dr Divya Mishra, Mrs Rukshana Shroff
and Dr Rita Joshi retired this academic year. I would like to thank them for their long and committed
service to the ethos of LSR. We congratulate Dr Sonjoy Roy Chowdhury, Dr Prabha Rani and
Dr Anjali Bhatia for completing 25 years of service.
I would like to mention the immense contribution of our non-teaching staff. We are grateful to
Sh. Karnail Singh and Sh. Pramod Kumar who retired this year.
I would also like to thank last year’s Students’ Union for their outstanding leadership in the past
year. I take this opportunity to welcome our newly elected Students’ Union and wish them all the
best for the coming year.
LSR is fortunate to have a generous and visionary Chairperson in Mr. Arun Bharat Ram, whose
unwavering support for the college has been crucial in all endeavours. I also would like to
express our gratitude to our Board of Governors for their continued support to the college.
Friends, we also have with us today some of our most notable and accomplished alumnae who
have tried to make the world a better place in their own ways. We confer the distinguished
alumna award to them.
I would like to conclude by saying that LSR will strive to remain an enlightened place of learning,
where we continue to push boundaries of knowledge, nurture critical enquiry, foster democratic
partnerships and build an empowered community.
The ‘LSR spirit’ is best captured by these words from the Former President and Visionary
Educationist of India, Sh. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, “Education, to be complete, must be humane,
it must include not only the training of the intellect but the refinement of the heart and the discipline
of the spirit. No education can be regarded as complete if it neglects the heart and the spirit.”
Dr. Suman Sharma
