Description

The Indian society was at its cultural, social and political nadir when Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati was born in 1824. He grew up in an environment of political subjugation, where he witnessed extreme casteism .superstition, religious dogma and social oppression of women and marginalized sections of society.

In 1885 the first DAV School was established at Lahore which was subsequently upgraded to become the first DAV College. In 1886 the DAV College Trust and Management Society was established and registered. The DAV Society visualized that the DAV Schools shall produce men and women of sterling national character and social commitment. The commendable objectives of the DAV attracted several committed individuals and groups to serve the society by striving to collect petty donations and gather humble resources to set up DAV Schools to spread Maharishis message for enlightening all the Indians. Thus the crusade against ignorance, illiteracy, injustice and inequality was revived and it gained further momentum with the opening of each DAV School.

He openly stood up against all the social evils such as discrimination on grounds of caste, creed, sex, economic status and social bigotry,male chauvinism and religious dominance of higher castes over the backward castes and classes. He fought for the rights of women and opened " Kanya Vidyalayas" to empower and enlighten them.
Unfortunately, the task of social resurgence was too vast to be completed during his lifetime and when Maharishi attained Samadhi in 1883, the Indian society was only partially reformed, with the onus of completing this unfinished task falling on his followers The DAV institutions soon gained respect and reputation in the society and began to be recognized for their high academic standards and valuebased education. The faculty comprised towering personalities such as Mahatma Hansraj, Principal Gyan Chand, Lala Sain Das and Pandit Meher Chand, who selflessly dedicated their lives to the reengineering of the Indian society through modern education and Vedic values. A glorious DAV alumni is a testimony to these facts.

Thus started the movement, which right from the beginning was led by missionaries, visionaries,nationalistic and other like-minded people. As the times rolled on, there emerged new needs, new challenges and new decisions in tandem with the changing scenario. The DAV Movement continued to surge ahead under the dynamic and motivating leadership of Sh. Mehr Chand, Lala Balraj, Justice Mehar Chand Mahajan, Dr.G.L.Dutta, Lala Suraj Bhan, Prof Ved Vyas, Sh. Darbari Lal , Sh. T.R. Tuli and Sh G P Chopra.. It was their missionary consciousness that fostered the growth of many more institutions across the country and lead DAV to newer heights.

The Legacy

The vision of a powerful and enlightened India had been conceived by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati (1824-1883). He devoted his whole life to awaken the ignorant, illiterate masses of this country. He knew that it could be possible only through education and literacy. The vision and philosophy of the fearless reformer, Maharshi Dayanand, was given a practical shape by Mahatma Hans Raj, who led the educational renaissance in India.As his most important legacy, the Mahatma left behind a pragmatic and enlightened approach to education.One aspect of his approach was his choice of Englishoriented Science-based education with a blend of Vedic values. Another was the great emphasis he laid on women education. Lastly, true to the egalitarian basis of Arya Samaj philosophy .

Education is a nation building activity , and the Dayanand Anglo – Vedic ( DAV ) Institutions spread across the country have taken the cause with full sprit. The DAV organization claims to have root embedded in the futuristic vision as conceived by Maharishi Dayanand , who conceptualized a country free of superstitions ,caste prejudices .where woman were empowered and vedic culture prevailed in the ambience of the nation. He emphasized education that blended Indian tradition with modernity .All this led to the foundation of DAV College Trust and Management Society in 1886 .Our school came in existence on 10th April 2006 and from then we are trying our level best  to reach our goal. We are trying our best to make it eco-friendly school , so we do not allow our children as well as the staff to carry polythene bags , even I also follow the same
