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.
