The objective was to contribute to the growing role of India in promoting international understanding. It was taken over by the University of Delhi in 1968.  Over the years, International Students’ House has proved to be a valuable experiment in international understanding and cosmopolitan living. Students coming from over 30 countries live here presenting a happy blend of many cultures.
