Ramanand Arya D.A.V. College: RADAV

Education is not the amount of information that is put into young a brain and run riot there, undigested all our life. We must have life building, man making, character creating assimilation of ideas. The end and aim of all training is to make man . The end and aim of all training is to make man good. The training, by which the expression of will is brought under control and becomes fruitful, is called education. What our country now needs is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, gigantic wills which will rest at nothing, but penetrate into the mysteries and secrets of the universe and accomplish their purpose come what may, even if it entails going down to the bottom of the ocean or meet death face to face. It is a man-making religion that we want, it is a man making education that we want to accomplish. With the above mission The Uttari Bharat Sabha, which is a driving force behind the institution was established in 1949 by a band of selfless patriots who felt the need for an institution which could cater to the educational needs of children in and around economically & educationally backward area of Bhandup and also to foster and maintain the spirit of love and fraternity, to promote social reforms through education, to preserve and advance Indian Culture and Civilization and to do all such acts and things for the benefit of the citizens of Bhandup and surrounding areas. Founder members of the Uttari Bharat Sabha were dedicated philanthropic people who came together to start this institution. The Sabha started a primary school on 8th January 1950. It began its Herculean task having on its roll only twenty Students in a humble hut and within two years of inception, the school got Muncipal recognition. In 1955 the Government also granted recognition to the school when the 5th class was added thereto. It was in the year 1961 that the school became a full fledged secondary school.
