About Delhi

The capital of India, Delhi, is a land-locked city situated on the banks of river Yamuna in the northern part of India. Diverse cultural elements absorbed into the daily life of the city have enriched its character. The city conceals within its bosoms the remains of civilization that flourished over thousands of years. The legacy of that past survives in many monuments and leaves behind the imprints of character of the ruler. Today, it is a blend of the modern and traditional skyscrapers, beautiful gardens, wide roads, Metro Rail and tree-lined avenues. Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Safdurjung's Tomb, India Gate, Jantar Mantar, Zoological Gardens, Old Fort, Humanyun's Tomb, Jama Masjid, Lodhi's Tomb, Lotus Temple, Raj Ghat, National Museum, Teen Murti House and many others are the major places of tourist interest (http://www.hotels-new-delhi.com).

Delhi houses the headquarters of many scientific organizations, viz., Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Department of Science & Technology (DST), Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), University Grants Commission (UGC) and Indian Nation Science Academy (INSA), etc. Delhi, the gateway city for northern India, is well connected by air with all the major tourist and business centres of the country. The domestic airport is about 35 kms from INMAS. Three major railway stations, i.e., Hazrat Nizamuddin, New Delhi and Old Delhi Junction are about 17, 13 and 6 kms respectively from INMAS. The Inter State Bus Terminus, Kashmere Gate is about 4 kms from INMAS. INMAS is also well connected to the Old Delhi Railway Station, New Delhi Railway Station and Inter State Bus Terminal through Metro Rail (http://www.delhimetrorail.com/index.htm). Taxis, auto rickshaws and city bus services are available throughout the city. Delhi is thus a window to the kaleidoscope that is India (http://www.incredibleindia.org/).
