Many of those who have passed through D.A.V. Classrooms have made distinctive mark in various branches of life……Students who get higher education are a privileged class in our country, particularly those who have the opportunity of studying in some outstanding institution as this college…..This college has a distinguished history.

Shri T.N. Chaturvedi, Former Comptroller & Auditor General of India
The DAV institutions are playing a dynamic role in socio economic resurgence and in keeping the shining aspect of our ancient culture and values alive. The only name which echoes more soundly is that of DAVs for having earned the credit for producing eminent scholars, social reformers and reputed personalities who have deeply influenced the post-independence era and left their seat of authority and superiority in almost all walks of life. The way DAVs are running their educational institutions is peculiar in many ways; especially one always takes pride in referring to the strict discipline maintained by the teachers and the taught. Furthermore to their credit the DAVs come in a big way producing many star players and athletes like Kapil Dev, Yog Raj Singh, Madan Lal and stylish batsmen like Surinder Amarnath and Mohinder Amarnath who have represented the country against the leading cricket playing nations of the world.
