Shivaji College Alumni Association (SCAA)
Shivaji College, with the motto "Amritam Tu Vidya," is a prominent college in West Delhi, certified with grade 'A' by NAAC and ranked 49th in the NIRF rating, 2023-24. The Government of Delhi is the trustee of Shivaji College, University of Delhi. Hon'ble Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh, a well-known social crusader and farmer leader, founded Shivaji College in 1961. His objective was to provide higher education for both boys and girls in Matiala, which is largely rural. In 1967, the Delhi government took over the trusteeship of Shivaji College and transferred it to Karampura. In 1976, the Delhi government relocated Shivaji College to its current location in Raja Garden. We now have a cutting-edge campus, including the new Jijabai Block. With nearly 4000 students, the institution now has 18 departments that offer 26 undergraduate courses and 3 postgraduate courses. The faculty consists of 184 teachers and 107 non-teaching personnel. India Today's 2024 rankings place our college 26th in Commerce, 35th in Sciences, and 38th in Humanities. Shivaji College has produced numerous noteworthy graduates in a variety of fields, including education, civil services, defence, law, sports, health, pharmaceuticals, and the arts and entertainment. It is an honour that our alumni, Kargil heroes, Captain Haneef Uddin and Captain Sumeet Roy, have received the Vir Chakra posthumously. Shivaji College is pleased to carry on the tradition of Shivaji Maharaja.
To add to Shivaji College's legacy, the
Shivaji College Alumni Association

was formed under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 on September 17,
2024. The primary goal of the organization is to form and maintain a

events like symposia, conferences, and seminars, as well as to support
interdisciplinary research and projects for Shivaji College students. The
SCAA also intends to recognize outstanding students and provide financial
assistance to low-income or underprivileged children. Aside from that, it
intends to plan and organize a variety of cultural events and social
activities, as well as other student welfare programs and activities. The
SCAA will take initiatives for raising funds for college development and
facilitate student activities, securing both financial and non-financial
support from the government, non-governmental organizations, international
agencies, banks, and any other legal body or individual. The SCAA will
conduct regular college alumni gatherings and maintains its records. All
operations are non-profitable and conducted on a 'No Profit, No Loss'
