D.A.V. College, Malout
D.A.V. College, Malout is one of the links in the beautiful chain of educational institutions established in the sacred memory of the great social and religious reformer of all times, Maharishi Dayanand Ji Sarswati. The D.A.V. Movement, initiated in 1886 by Arya Samaj, envisages to carry forward the torch of imparting real education and to inculcate love for Indian culture in tune with the lofty Vedic ideals of universal brotherhood among the young minds. The movement is goverened by the D.A.V. College Trust & Management Society, New Delhi. Self sacrificing Mahatma Hans Raj, a humble devotee of Great Rishi, provided the necessary impetus to the movement by taking a solemn pledge to dedicate the whole of his life for the sacred cause of spreading the light of education, service and renunciation.

The college serves as a Home Away From Home to the talented and the gifted, to those with a passion and commitment, and to those who have the will to show the path, help you to overcome difficulties, and celebrate the moment when success embraces. We also believe in making students understand the importance of carrying the torch and lending the helping hand in the most adverse circumstances and also realize that although survival belongs to the fittest, competition does not imply success to the one only. Albeit, the position at the pinnacle is precarious, it is large enough to accommodate one and all.
It is our firm belief that value based learning has far greater relevance in a dynamic and ever changing work environment. We ensure that our students share a very special relationship with the institution, easy accessibility to faculty guidance, firm assurance of staff support and a very caring and nurturing environment, all lead to effective realization of our goals. Our mission is to demonstrate an unconditional commitment to learning, to openness, mutual trust and faith.
