DAV MOVEMENT OF THE ARYA SAMAJ
Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj and one of the greatest path finder’s of Modern India, led a crusade against superstitions and pernicious practices that plagued the inhabitants of this ancient land. He gave a new bearing and rationale through the teachings of Arya Samaj. Much that had crept in out of ignorance was gradually weeded out. To accomplish the most cherished goal of the Swami, Dayanand Anglo Vedic Trust and Management Society was established in 1885. The First DAV institution both for school stage and higher learning was established at Lahore in 1886. Since then, the DAV movement has never looked back and runs nearly 770 institutions today in India and abroad. Under the inspiring guidance of our honourable president Shri Punam Suri ji DAV organization has today a nation wide network of nearly 770 educational institutions. Shri Punam Suri ji is a great visionary who believes that education is the only gateway to human development shaping the mind to adventure into the freedom of future. Tossing in the global waves, challenges for the youth are manifold and pressures on young minds are nerve-wrecking. But by providing a holistic education in pleasant & congenial environment, DAV prepares them for these challenges of life in a global society.
With a view to bring a balanced & harmonious development in the future citizens of the country & to infuse in them lofty ideals of the Vedic Culture & high sense of patriotism, the Arya Samaj decided to set up a network of educational institutions in the August memory of great founder Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati.
The D.A.V. movement founded in 1885 ,has rendered a unique service in not only dispelling ignorance & illiteracy but also producing Patriots, Freedom Fighters, Social Reformers, Intellectuals, Thinkers, Legal-Luminaries ,Doctors & Engineers of unparalleled merits ,integrity and caliber.
