Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust & Management Society was founded in the year 1885 to achieve the goals set up by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati who was not only a social reformer and one of the greatest patriots of his time – but also as Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore called him – “a great path-maker in Modern India”.

D.A.V. IS A CHARITABLE ORGANISATION AND ONE OF THE LARGEST NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL WELFARE.

The society was established to spread Maharishi Dayanand’s teachings and ideals for reviving the study of the Vedas and to bring about a social and moral change in the Indian society which at that time was in the clutches of ignorance, superstitions, blind faith, retrogressive practices and inhuman customs.

D.A.V. continues to propagate the message of the Vedas and the progressive views of Maharishi Dayanand along with making available to people the latest research in the sphere of Science, Technology and Education.

Today D.A.V. has become synonymous with Excellence in Education. During the past 25 years, the movement has taken a big leap forward by starting a chain of public schools in different states of our country. At present the D.A.V. is perhaps one single private organisation which is running and managing more than 600 schools, colleges, medical and technical institutions in different states and far-flung areas of our country. D.A.V. also runs educational centres in some foreign countries like Nepal, Mauritius, Japan, U.K. & U.S.A.
