"सा विद्या या विमुक्तये" — This profound line from the Vishnu Purana beautifully conveys that the purpose of education is not just information or skill, but liberation — from ignorance, from limitations, and from narrow thinking.
Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and Esteemed Visitors,

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Sri Aurobindo College—a beacon of higher education nestled in the heart of South Delhi. As Principal of this premier institution, I feel deeply honoured to be steering a college that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures individuals to become responsible, compassionate, and visionary citizens of tomorrow. Our college, inspired by the prophetic vision of Sri Aurobindo, strives to blend the finest traditions of Indian culture with modern educational practices.

At Sri Aurobindo College, our mission extends beyond routine classroom teaching; we endeavour to create an ecosystem that promotes holistic growth. Education here is not confined to the acquisition of academic credentials alone—it involves character building, intellectual curiosity, creativity, sensitivity to societal needs, and deep-rooted ethical values.

Established in 1972 to commemorate the birth centenary of Sri Aurobindo, the college has steadily emerged as a dynamic centre for undergraduate studies. Our diverse range of courses in arts, commerce, and science streams provide students a strong academic foundation. Equally important, our dedicated faculty members, who are distinguished academics, researchers, and mentors, go the extra mile to cultivate critical thinking, analytical skills, and intellectual independence among students. We continuously upgrade our laboratories, classrooms, library resources, and ICT infrastructure to foster an environment of 21st century learning.

Beyond academics, we take pride in offering a vibrant campus life enriched through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our societies and clubs—whether cultural, literary, social service, entrepreneurship, or sports—provide a fertile ground for students to explore their talents. The National Cadet Corps (NCC) and National Service Scheme (NSS) wings of our college inculcate discipline and social responsibility, encouraging students to work towards nation-building and community welfare.

Our Placement Cell actively supports students in shaping their careers by liaising with industry, conducting workshops, career counselling, and facilitating internship and job opportunities. The success of our alumni in diverse fields such as civil services, academia, entrepreneurship, arts, sports and corporate sector stands testimony to the quality of education and mentoring offered at Sri Aurobindo College.

To our students, I urge you to dream big, remain disciplined, and pursue excellence with humility and perseverance. Make optimal use of the opportunities available to you, be compassionate to others, and remain rooted in values. To our faculty and staff, I express sincere appreciation for your dedication and hard work; together let us continue to create an environment of intellectual vigour and moral integrity. To parents and alumni, I thank you for your trust and support, and invite you to remain active partners in the college’s growth journey.

Sri Aurobindo College stands committed to ensuring that every student who enters our campus embarks on a truly transformative journey—one that awakens purpose, ignites potential, and inspires lifelong growth through self-discovery and empowerment. Let us move forward with optimism and determination, guided by the enduring ideals of Sri Aurobindo.

With warm regards and best wishes,

Prof. Arun Chaudhary
