The Kumaon Way
ESTABLISHED - 1969
VISION - To metamorphose cubs into tigers
LEGACY - Kumaon House has always had a rich legacy in cultural and sports, evident through its remarkable achievements in BRCA, BSA, and BSP trophies over the years. It is famous on the campus that the RCA trophy had to be shut down temporarily due to the over domination of Kumaon. When it was reinstated, Kumaon won the RCA again, consecutively in 2019-20 and 2020-21. Further, Kumaon has won the GC consecutively five times, which is the longest streak in the trophy history.
PHILOSOPHY - All this is credited to the brilliant culture established in the hostel and passionately carried forward each year. The seniors mould the freshers and inspire them to emerge as winners in every field. Seniors and juniors all share a very close bond and are offered zealous support from the alumni of Kumaon. Kumaon is not just a hostel. It is a very close-knit family, where everyone works hard to take themselves and the hostel to greater heights and have loads of fun along the way.
Kumaon (Your Hostel at IIT Delhi) would always have a very special place in your hearts. This is where you spent most of your time at campus and in a way, it is like your home away from home, forever!
IIT Delhi is expanding the capacity of old Hostels, in this process the older structures will give way to contemporary & world-class living spaces, reimagined by leading architects & experts. The new Kumaon Hostel is being built with the contribution of Alumni and your generosity towards your hostel will go a long way in providing a great platform to students to develop into world leaders.

Worldwide, endowment funds have been established by global education institutions to secure their long-term financial stability and support their programs. They operate by accepting donations from their alumni, corporates and philanthropists and invest the proceeds of those donations to generate investment income.
The income generated is utilized to fund activities for the benefit of these institutions, many of them for perpetuity. Many institutions abroad have run their endowment funds for several decades and boast fund sizes running into billions of dollars each.
