Since opening in 2014, the University of Chicago’s Center in Delhi has advanced collaboration across many fields of academic inquiry. The resulting collaborations have directly enriched scholarship and research in these fields and have contributed to the growing ties between the people and institutions of India and the United States. In celebrating its 10-year anniversary, the Center in Delhi acknowledges the dedicated efforts of several visionaries that have led to this moment, as it sets into motion a full array of globally impactful research and programming in the years to come.
