The University of Delhi was established in 1922 as a unitary, teaching as well as residential university by an Act of the then Central Legislative Assembly of the British India. The University was originally to be named Prince Charles University, but Rai Kedarnath, counsellor to the Chief Commissioner of Delhi as well as founder of Ramjas College, argued that if the university should fail, that would certainly antagonise the Prince. He recommended the name by which it is known today.
