The DAV Movement continued to surge ahead under the dynamic as well as motivating leadership of Sh. As the times rolled on, there emerged new needs, new challenges as well as new decisions in tandem with the changing scenario. Thus started the movement, which right from the beginning was led by missionaries, visionaries, nationalistic as well as other like-minded people. A glorious DAV alumni is a testimony to these facts. The teaching staff comprised towering personalities such as Mahatma Hansraj, Principal Gyan Chand, Lala Sain Das as well as Pandit Meher Chand, who selflessly dedicated their lives to the reengineering of the Indian society through modern education as well as Vedic values. The DAV institutions soon gained respect as well as reputation in the society as well as began to be recognized for their high academic standards as well as value-based education. Some more schools came into the DAV fold as they were subsequently affiliated to DAV College Trust & Management Society. These schools were broadly categorized as directly controlled as well as managed schools. Towards the end of nineteenth century as well as in the first half of twentieth century the DAV College Trust & Management Society established a number of schools. DAV College Managing Committee, the executive body of the DAV College Trust & Management Society, streamlined the school curriculum as well as administrative processes as well as gave the social movement a splendid vision as well as precise direction. Thus the crusade against ignorance, illiteracy, injustice as well as inequality was revived as well as it gained further momentum with the opening of each DAV School.

He fought for the rights of women as well as opened " Kanya Vidyalayas" to empower as well as enlighten them. He openly stood up against all the social evils such as discrimination on grounds of caste, creed, sex, economic status as well as social bigotry, male chauvinism as well as religious dominance of higher castes over the backward castes as well as classes. He grew up in an environment of political subjugation, where he witnessed extreme casteism, superstition, religious dogma as well as social oppression of women as well as marginalized sections of society. The Indian society was at its cultural, social as well as political nadir when was born in 1824.
