Both Kapil Dev and M.S. Dhoni are DAV products

It is really a great feeling for any institution to have country’s two World Cup winning captains to be its products.
I feel that the four noble souls to whom country will remain indebted for the grand work being done by DAV institution to spread literacy are-Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati who gave the slogan “Spread knowledge and vanish ignorance”. The other three are Mahatma Hansraj, Lala Lajpat Rai and Gurudat Vidyarthi who spearheaded the proposal in 1883 just after the untimely demise of Swami Dayanand to create memoriam in the shape of DAV educational institutions as a tribute to that great sage.

To create temples of learning rather than temples with some gods inside reflects the radical thinking of the great institution –Arya Samaj founded by Maharishi Dayanand Sarswati .
