She was speaking at the “Sankalp se Siddhi –Naya Satra, Nayi Urja” program organised by the DAV College Managing Committee here, where she said that the Dayanand Anglo Vedic (DAV) institution, which was established in 1886 on the Vedic principles and ideals of Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati, presents an exemplary synthesis of modern knowledge and ancient Vedic wisdom.

CM highlighted that this fusion has transformed education into a medium for national character-building, rather than limiting it to academic achievement.
Gupta commended the 140-year-old illustrious tradition of the DAV institution and described it as a “laboratory of personality development,” adding that it promotes ideological awareness and cultural values in the field of education, thereby contributing meaningfully to nation-building.
CM mentioned that the institution operates across 23 states through more than 1000 schools, colleges, and universities, and this organisation emphasizes not only academic excellence, but also moral values, patriotism, and shapes students into responsible and cultured citizens.
