Mission and Vision

Mission and Vision

Mahatma Hansraj, the man in whose memory this college has been founded, was a great nationalist at heart, besides being an educationist and a religious organizer. He was also a tireless relief worker and social reformer, organizing relief efforts in the aftermath of earthquakes in Kangra (1905), Quetta (1934), and Bihar (1935), as well as famines in Rajasthan (1905), Awadh (1907), and Garhwal (1918). He was a major supporter of widow remarriage and the eradication of early marriages and caste inequalities. He transformed the Arya Samaj and the DAV into successful tools of social uplift and moral regeneration via his efforts.
