The University of Delhi, established in 1922, is one of India’s premier institutions of higher learning, known globally for its academic excellence, rich legacy, and vibrant student life. With over 90 constituent colleges and more than 90 lakh alumni across disciplines and generations, University of Delhi has nurtured leaders, innovators, scholars, and changemakers who have left an indelible mark across the world. It stands as a beacon of intellectual pursuit, inclusivity, and national pride. Over the many years of its existence, the University has sustained the highest global standards and best practices in higher education. Its long-term commitment to nation building and unflinching adherence to universal human values are reflected in its motto: 'Nishtha Dhriti Satyam' 'निष्ठा धृति सत्यम्' (Dedication, Steadfastness and Truth).

The University of Delhi Foundation (DUF), a section 08 company of the University of Delhi, is a forward-looking initiative dedicated to strengthening the University’s institutional capacity, alumni relations, and resource mobilisation. Functioning as the central alumni and fundraising arm of the University, DUF works to forge meaningful partnerships between the University and its extensive alumni base, while supporting innovation, infrastructure, and developmental projects across faculties and colleges. DUF also plays a key strategic and operational role in shaping alumni engagement through the DUAC platform.

The Delhi University Alumni Connect (DUAC) platform is a unified digital ecosystem designed to foster lifelong connections between the University and its alumni. Under the patronage of the Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor and the University of Delhi Foundation, DUAC serves as a central hub for alumni networking, mentorship, knowledge exchange, and community engagement.

The DUAC network is structured into two verticals: the Alumni Connect Cells (ACCs) at the Department, Faculty, and Centre levels, and the Alumni Associations or Cells of the constituent colleges. Through interactive dashboards, regional chapters, exclusive events, and professional forums, DUAC aims to build a vibrant, supportive, and engaged global alumni community that gives back to the university and to each other.
