Dr. Ganesh Dass D.A.V. College of Education for Women, Karnal, located in the heart of the city, is the fruit of the ceaseless efforts of great souls — notably the Late Shri Makhan Lal Advocate, Late Principal Mela Ram Barq and Late Dr. Ganesh Dass Atreja — who were inspired by the philosophy and lofty ideals of “Yug Parvartak” Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati.
The college was established in 1968 and was handed over to the D.A.V. Managing Committee, Chitragupta Road, New Delhi, in 1986. We now form part of the large D.A.V. family, of which Shri Punam Suri is the President and Sh. Ajay Suri is the General Secretary.
This institute is one of the oldest colleges of teacher education for women in Haryana. It is now a postgraduate college of education, offering B.Ed. and M.Ed. courses affiliated to Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra. The College is approved and recognised by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), and is NAAC accredited with a B++ grade. It caters to the needs of women’s teacher education from urban and rural areas.
We aspire to a changed classroom infused with a craving to learn, a compelling need to question, and irrepressible motivation and energy to continually evolve closer to the ideal. Our teachers are prepared to compete and accept the challenges of today’s highly competitive world, and to keep pace with the latest technology and knowledge.
