It is based on the ideals of the religious and social reformer, Swami [[Dayanand Saraswati]]. Full Form of DAV is Dayanand Anglo Vedic. The Dayanand Anglo-Vedic education system also comprises colleges offering graduate and post-graduate degrees in areas of study all over India.

Founded in 1886 in [[Lahore]] by the efforts of [[Mahatma Hansraj]] in the memory of the saint Swami Dayanand Saraswati, these schools are run by the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College Trust and Management Society, also commonly known as the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic Education Society.<ref name=arya1>Gurukula Patrika, April–July, 1940-41, Ank 10, (12 June 1940), P.1</ref><ref name=arya2>Madalsa Ujjwal, 2008, "Swami Dayanand Saraswati Life and Ideas", Book Treasure Publications, Jodhpur, PP.96-97</ref><ref name=arya3>Gunjun H.

College Trust and Management Society are part of the archives at the [[Nehru Memorial Museum & Library]], at [[Teen Murti House]], Delhi.<ref>{{cite web |title=Archives |url=http://www.nehrumemorial.com/archivehead.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110503203613/http://www.nehrumemorial.com/archivehead.php |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-05-03 |publisher=[[Nehru Memorial Museum & Library]] }}</ref>

[[English language|English]] is the primary language of instruction, with students also receiving compulsory education in [[Hindi]] and [[Sanskrit]] or a regional language. The DAV movement has grown to become the single largest non-governmental educational society in the country, managing 750+ educational institutions, apart from D.A.V. Public Schools spread over the country and even in foreign lands, with an annual budget of more than [[Indian rupee|INR ₹2]] billion. It employs 50,000+ people and educates more than 20 lakh students every year.

In 2013, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) awarded 40 institutions for its contribution to quality education. ASSOCHAM awarded DAV College Managing Committee with 'Best Chain of Schools in India' award.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.careerindia.com/news/2013/04/17/assocham-honours-40-institutions-for-education-004665.html|title=Assocham honour 40 institutions for its contribution to Education|date=2013-04-17}}</ref>
