VISION & VISIONARIESThe DAV institutions are the gift of the Arya Samaj, a progressive movement founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875. Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the great path-maker of modern India, led a crusade against the superstitious and pernicious practices that prevailed on contemporary India.

With a view to bringing about a balanced and harmonious development of the future citizens of this country and to infusing into 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 established the D.A.V. College Trust &Management Society which later set up a network of such educational institutions all over India and abroad.

The DAV Movement would not have achieved its goal, had not a young brilliant graduate - Mahatma Hansraj, the first Principal of the first DAV institution, 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.

AIMS & OBJECTIVESThe institution aims to provide holistic education for the all round growth of the child i.e. Physical, Mental, Moral and Emotional to its full potential-worthy citizens of the country and of the international community. To this end, our objectives for him are: To develop an effective command over languages

and communication. To imbibe a scientific temper of curiosity,

awareness and understanding of everything. To think, see and do things for himself; become

self-reliant, self-respecting and self-confident.

To promote creativity, initiative and individuality. To acquire physical fitness, co-ordination and

skills. To be a disciplined, well mannered and cultured,

tolerant and liberal, co-operative and caring human being.

To keep his pace with the rapidly advancing world, but retain timeless values of honesty, integrity, generosity, concern and respect.The strength and success of DAV schools lie in the harmonious blend of science and technology with a sound grounding of ancient Vedic Culture. The aim of DAV schools is to inculcate in the students a thirst for knowledge, devotion to duty, honesty, patriotic fervour besides humanism. We impart an education "to build" and an education "to serve".
