'''DAV University''' is a private university in [[Jalandhar]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], founded in 2013 under the aegis of DAV Trust. DAV University at Jalandhar traces its roots to the legacy of [[Dayanand Anglo-Vedic Schools System]] that has been reforming and redefining India's educational scenario for 128 years. The university is the culmination of the movement that started with the foundation of the first DAV institute to propagate the ideals of the religious and social reformer [[Swami Dayanand Saraswati]] in [[Lahore]] on 1 June 1886. The university has adopted 5 surrounding villages and doing many works of public welfare there.
