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 that 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 this, the college receives appreciation from all quarters.

We welcome suggestions for improving the site. We 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 to the college. I especially thank the members of the Web Team for their initiative in bringing the college Website into its present impressive shape.

Information Communication Technology has brought the entire globe on one platform. Exchanging of Information and expertise has become absolutely essential for the actualization of the goals in higher education. The D.A-V College website is an honest attempt at providing essential information with a view to bridging the gulfs in higher education. The Vision of the College is Leadership through Excellence in Education. This vision can only be realized if there is a well articulated strategic plan that guides the college as to where it is coming from, where it is now, where it is going, why it is going, and how it will arrive there. The college will soon be inviting its stakeholders to make contributions to the process of taking the college to new heights.

It is my pleasure to report that the college has taken all necessary steps to achieve its desired goal of excellence in higher education. We believe this development will go a long way towards enhancing the endeavours of the college to retain its high quality and calibre, and also to deliver on its mandate. It is also heartening to hear that the college is constantly striving to prove itself an asset for higher education by ensuring all round development of the students. We also invite all D.A-Vians to join the Alumni Association and further the glorious D.A-V tradition.

I am sure the college website will prove useful to all quarters of academia by catering to the academic needs of prospective students and functioning as a bridge between stakeholders and society.

Principal's Message

I heartily welcome all to the revamped version of the college website. I would take the moment 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 the 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 the highest values and best practices. Continuing the exalted tradition of catering to the 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.
