After the Nirvana of Swami Dayanand (Oct.30, 1883), some of his disciplined followers led by Lala Lalchand gathered at Lahore on Nov. 8, 1883 and determined to convey his preechings through Anglo-Vedic educational institutes a synthesis of vedic heritage and western knowledge. The entire responsibility was put on the shoulders of Lala Hans Raj. Popularly known as Mahatma Hans Raj. Consequently Dayanand Anglovedic College and Management Society was established in Jan. 1886 under society Registration Act. 1860 and this marked the beginning of DAV (Dayanand Anglo Vedic) Movement.

The movement founded as a small school at Lahore in June, 1886, gradually spread to various corners of North India with the selfless efforts of its followers. It suffered a set back in 1947, but after the partition, it was re-established in India by some of its dedicated personalities.
