History
Named after Guru Tegh Bahadur, the 9th Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College is a constituent of University of Delhi. It is a co-educational institution established in 1951 by Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee to instill ideals of self-sacrifice and service among the youth. It draws inspiration from the life of the Guru who laid down his life in Delhi to uphold freedom of belief and conscience and whose sacrifice and martyrdom for secular ideas are unique in the annals of our country.
The college had a modest beginning and was in four rooms in a school in Dev Nagar with 49 students and a faculty of 6 teachers. The college shifted to its present premises in the University Campus in 1973.
