delegates are used when you want to point a function. Actually delegates are function pointers.
You can use delegates with event also.

There are just too many scenarios where we would need delegates

1) You could implement event handling using delegates
2) You could write anonymous methods using delegates
3) You could do asynchronous processing using delegates. Delegates can be used to define callback methods.
4) A class may need more than one implementation of the method.
