The D.A.V institutions are the gift of the Arya Samaj, a progressive movement founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875.Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the great path-finder of modern India, led a crusade against the superstitions and pernicious practices that had engulfed the contemporary India.
With a view to bring about a balanced and harmonious development of the future citizens of this country and to infuse in them ideas of Vedic Culture and high sense of patriotism, Arya Samaj founded a school at Lahore in 1886 by the name of DAYANAND ANGLO VEDIC SCHOOL.This establishment led to a further foundation of the D. A.V. College Trust and Management Society which later setup a network of such Educational Institutions all over India and abroad.
The D.A.V. Movement would not have achieved its goal if it had not young brilliant graduate-Mahatma Hansraj, the first Principal of the first DAV institution who offered his honorary services as jeevan Daan’ for 25 years. Matchless also is the sacrifice of his brother, Lala Mulkraj who fulfilled his pledge of supporting Hansraj’s family all these years.
