The Institute of Home Economics (IHE), New Delhi is a women’s college of the University of Delhi. Founded in 1961 by Dr. S. Malhan, the founder Director, IHE New Delhi was meant to give women wider educational and professional avenues and went on to become a leading centre for women’s education in the country.
The institute became a constituent college of the University of Delhi in 1969. Since then, the college has expanded. Though it was started as a Home Science college, it has expanded and offers a three-year undergraduate course in Microbiology as well as a four-year integrated course in Elementary education. From the current academic year, the college is offering the three-year B.Sc. (Hons) course in Biochemistry. The Institute originally only offered a two-year Diploma course in Home Science, but then offered regular degree courses at the undergraduate and post-graduate level, a post-graduate diploma course in addition to Ph.D. programmes.

The campus is well endowed with manicured lawns, spacious lecture theaters and laboratories. The Institute has an All India Charter catering to students from various countries of Asia and Africa.
