Message from the Principal

Prof. Arun Kumar Dixit

Principal, DAV College

I heartily welcome all to the revamped version of the college website. I would take the moment as an opportunity to share my views with all stakeholders.

More than a century has passed since the inception of the college. All through these years, the nascent seedlings of an academic vision have grown into a full-fledged orchard of excellence attracting knowledge seekers from length and breadth of the country. By adopting a non-discriminatory approach in imparting quality education to all, irrespective of class, creed, and religion, the college has lived up to its exalted founding ideals.

The college has had many trysts with travails and tribulations which are inevitable ingredients along the tortuous journey to excellence and preeminence in the field of academics. The college not only shouldered the students in carving fruitful academic careers, it served as the fulcrum for breeding nationalism and patriotic fervour during country's national movement for freedom. Under the leadership of the great Chandra Shekhar Azad, thousands of revolutionary freedom fighters frequented the college premises and its adjoining students hostel to clandestinely plan and execute their revolutionary movements. The college takes immense pride in having played host to the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, during his visit to the city in 1928, an event that has been recorded in gold letters in the glittering annals of the college. Students aspiring to be the part of this glorious college must nurture in their hearts the pride of a glorious past paving the foundation of the sizzling present to leap together into the future of preeminent glory and excellence.

The college has been established upon the ideals of Swami Dayanand Saraswati, who preached that the essence of enlightenment lies in holistic education. The college has remained true to these ideals by inculcating in students highest values and best practices. Continuing the exalted tradition of catering to changing needs of the students, I would use the moment to announce that the college has plans to start zero classes for aspirational mentoring for various competitive exams outside the regular course curriculum wherein spirited and erudite faculties of the college shall be volunteering their services to leverage the competitive pursuits of the aspirants. With this program of zero classes for aspirational mentoring, we will be providing a superior alternative to poor students who can't afford quality coaching classes, all that for no cost.

I would finally use this moment to humbly express my heartfelt gratitude to all the alumni of our heritage college, the stakeholders and all those associated with the college for furthering its glorious tradition in the field of academics and keeping it alive and throbbing.

Ex-Secretary, Board of Management

I am very glad to announce that the DAV College website has been updated with a view to providing comprehensive information about the on-going activities in the college. Our site has all the information about the college, and for the first time profiles of teachers have been uploaded, which can be viewed from the respective department’s page. I am sure that it will be useful to students, researchers and collaborators.

Over the years the college has branched out as a reservoir of ideas, which have been harnessed for the development of society and the world. At DAV we strive not only for academic excellence but also for nation building. Upholding the vision of the founders of the college, we do not merely impart knowledge but also stress on character building. Here we imbibe the spirit of acquiring information and working up to the commitment of social change. We also take utmost care to uphold the glorious tradition in all curricular activities. The management is collaborating with teaching faculty and non-teaching staff for the well being of our students and for doing these, the college receives appreciation from all quarters.

We welcome suggestions for the improvement of the site. We also invite all DAVians to join the Alumni Association and further the glorious DAV tradition.

I thank the staff, students and well-wishers for their commitment towards the college. My special thanks to the members of the Web Team for the initiative taken by them to bring up the college Website in its present impressive shape.
