The Department of Anthropology at the University of Delhi was founded in 1947 with the sole aim of undertaking holistic research and teaching in different aspects of human living. The first batch of students, admitted a year later, produced some of the finest anthropologists of international repute, who also contributed significantly to the administrative and corporate life of the University of Delhi. Students trained in our department diffused to other universities, founding academic departments and centres, carrying forward the exemplary tradition of the University of Delhi therein. It was not only that the Delhi Department of Anthropology flourished, moving from one success to the other, but was also instrumental in the spread of anthropology to other parts of the country. In other words, our department has always been the leader, declaring the agenda of research and teaching for others to have a close and learning look; and with the efforts of the twenty-five scholars who constitute the teaching faculty, the glorious status of the department continues and will continue to be so in future.
