DESCRIPTION :

SPM College is a well-known women?s college of University of Delhi. It was established in 1969 in the memory of distinguished academician and statesman Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherji. It has no affiliation with any sect¸ religion¸ political group¸ or thinking. The college motto tejasvi naa vadhi mastu" in Sanskrit has a profound meaning. It is derived from the Taittiriya Upanisad. It means - Let our efforts at learning be luminous (Tejasvi) and filled with joy¸ and endowed with the force of purpose (Vadhi Mastu).

Dr. Kamala Sanghi was the founder Principal of the college. Initially¸ the college had only six courses with a meagre strength of 500 students and a few teachers and administrative staff. Within a short span of four years¸ the college produced its first topper (Miss. Ila Saxena¸ a students of Hindi Honours) in the University of Delhi. The Principal tirelessly worked to visualise a spacious and vibrant campus¸ large student strength¸ well- qualified faculty and variety of options in courses of study. After years of long wait¸ Delhi Government had allotted 10 acres of land at its present location¸ Punjabi Bagh West. "
