	BRITISH COUNCIL, NEW DELHI

Our office in New Delhi is the headquarters of the British Council operations in India. The current premises were designed by the renowned Indian architect Charles Correa and opened in 1993. Situated just off Connaught Circus, the centre of New Delhi, they are a landmark in the city.

The Delhi office acts as a hub for the development of our programmes and events in arts, English language, education, science and technology and human rights. These events take place in major cities all over India.

In Delhi we have recently opened a new-look library with online services providing access to UK electronic databases, journals and directories, an English Zone to help people improve their language skills, an online learning Zone to enable people to obtain a UK degree through flexible study and a Children's Library. We also have a smaller libraries in North India in Chandigarh (run in collaboration with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations) which provide a lending service as well as events programmes.

Other services in Delhi include a busy and popular English language teaching centre which provides a range of courses in English language for learners of all ages and all levels, as well as running an examinations service (both English and professional) and Education UK information service.
