The DAV building was inaugurated by Dr. Triguna Sen , the then Minister of Education , Government of India on Friday, 6th September 1968. Dr. A. N. K. DAV Public School , Rourkela was founded on 21st November 1990 and inaugurated by Prof. Veda Vyasa, the Ex-president of DAV College Managing Committee , New Delhi. From a humble beginning with 500 students we have grown to a strength of more than 2500 students.
On the demise of Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1883, a group of socially oriented people who met to mourn his death, decided to raise a memorial which they thought would be a befitting tribute to his great ideals. They formed the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic (DAV) College Trust & Management Society. It got registered in 1885. This was the beginning of the great Movement, now popularly known as the 'DAV Movement'. The society established its first institution - DA\/ School, at Lahore, on June 1, 1886, with Lala Hans Raj (Later Mahatma Hans Raj) as its honorary Headmaster. The main objective of the DAV institutions is to impart such education to the children as, while it helps to imbibe in them a sense of deep patriotism and pride in their ancient culture and civilization, instils in them a disciplined outlook, deeply dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. These institutions also aim at creating an environment truly conducive to the development of the child, mentally, physically and spiritually.
DAV schools provide a congenial environment for the all round development of the whole personality and its integration with the society, particularly in reference to the Indian context. Positive ideas are inculcated in students as regards personal hygiene, neatness of uniform, cleanliness of surroundings, graceful manners, obedience and discipline. To achieve high academic standards, personal attention is given to each child. Highly motivated and dedicated team of teachers play the role of models for the children. Individual care and personalized coaching and regular efforts have woven a very vibrant and inspiring environment. Learning is a joy here as teachers make their lessons very interesting by following various methods of teaching, viz. Demonstration, Experimentation, Project Work, Home Assignments, Play-way, Micro-teaching, Structure-method etc. Education is child centered here. Apart from curricular activities, co-curricular activities are also given importance. The strength and success of DAV schools lie in the harmonious blend of science and technology and a sound grounding in ancient Vedic Culture. The aim of DAV schools is to inculcate in the students a thirst for knowledge, devotion to duty, honesty, patriotic fervour besides humanism. We impart an education "to build" and an education "to repay".
