The programme began with a documentary showcasing the rich history of the college and the role it played in various national movements and describing Hindu College as the 'Heart of the Nation'.

Speaking on the occasion, Hindu College Principal Professor Anju Srivastava said, "After a long gap of two years, we get to celebrate your addition in the Hindu College community. Today, you become members of something greater than just a building, entering a lifelong association that will only grow deeper with time."

Prof Srivastava informed that 987 students got admission to various departments of the college this year.

Dean of Academic Affairs, University of Delhi Professor K Ratnabali said that the new course structure gives rise to the flexibility to help students to form a conducive academic pathway as per their interests. "Students should have a multidisciplinary approach and should have exposure to multidisciplinary subjects, like social sciences including political science, history, etc," he said.

Delhi University Registrar Vikas Gupta said, "The motto is that you have to move forward, taking all of us together. There should be a race, but not a cutthroat competition. Once we understand the importance of collaboration, we would be able to make our best in future endeavours."
