About the school: The school has come out as an excellent blend of ancient values and modern systems of education.

The first DAV school was started after the demise of Swami Dayanand to serve as his memorial. A group of enlightened, dedicated and devoted followers, with a deep sense of social commitment founded the Dayananand Anglo-Vedic College Trust and Managing Society which was registered in 1886.
