Delhi University’s Hindu College has launched a research centre in the college premises to promote scientific temper among students. This new initiative will be an inter-disciplinary research centre for sciences, humanities, social sciences, and finance sectors.

The newly-launched research centre is a five story building, which has been established in association with Relaxo. The centre houses more than 20 laboratories, specialised multimedia lab, a state-of-the-art indoor auditorium, an open air theatre and an 800-seater outdoor auditorium. The Science research labs are well equipped with sophisticated instruments such as FTIR, ED-XRF, GC, GC-MS, Tunable light source, Rotor-evaporators, CO2/O2 incubation, stability chamber, environment chamber.
The five-storey builing is located within the college premises.
