Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, in pursuance of Vedic Values of tolerance, compassion sharing and respect, Founded Arya Samaj on April 10, 1875 at Mumbai and in 1877 at Lahore. The attempt took the form of “ Vedic Schools” and “Gurukuls” which put emphasis on vedic values, culture and religion to students. Maharishi, a pioneer of social reforms, ardent advocate of vedic culture, insisted on physical, moral and social progress of humanity by Laying emphasis upon education as means of character development.Development of character is based on achieving knowledge. The aim of education is to give true knowledge to the individual and thus enable him to conduct properly. His teachings insisted society to admit that education is a primary concern of the state. Following his philosophy (8th principle of Arya Samaj) a number of staunch Arya Samajists realized the need of an instiution of higher learning in Nawanshahr Doaba.
