About us
 Lakshmibai College, one of the premier institutions of higher education for women, was founded in 1965
as Women’s College. Later, it was named Lakshmibai College in memory of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi, the
great warrior, patriot and freedom fighter whose majestic and life-like statue adorns the lawns of the
college. It is a constituent college of University of Delhi. The College has its own well-equipped building,
sprawling lawns, sports grounds and staff quarters. It has a locational advantage as it is in the close
proximity to the University of Delhi. The lush Ashoka Gardens, right in front of the college add to the
ecological environment of the college.
The solar indoor light luminaries, wireless Internet access under the University Wide Networking
Programme, separate vast Internet connectivity and supplementary audio-video gadgets, two air
conditioned Lecture Theatres, a beautifully furnished seminar room, a modern computerized library, two
well-equipped computer labs, an active placement cell and many other facilities put the college in league
with the most up-to-date institutions of the University of Delhi.
Lakshmibai College is proud of the academic commitment of its faculty, which has several achievements
to its credit and has made valuable contribution to the creation of a congenial academic ethos. Our
students are deeply conscious of the leadership potential of women and they are constantly inspired to
build a community devoid of discrimination and oppression. Students’ creativity is evident in wide ranging
co-curricular and extra-curricular activities organized by the various societies and associations working
under the guidance of the staff advisors. Lt.(Dr.) Seema Kaushik working as assistant professor in the
