As the Principal of MN DAV Dental College and Hospital, Solan it gives me immense pleasure to brief about the institution through the official website. The institute run under the guiding principles of Swami Viveka Nand & Mahatama Hans Raj Ji and with the guidance of Hon’ble Shri Punam Suri Ji, President DAV College Managing Committee has come to be rightfully recognized in Himachal Pradesh and beyond as a premier institute delivering excellence in education and patient care. In 1997, state of Himachal Pradesh desired that DAV Management start a Dental Institution at Tatul Village, District Solan. The main objective of DAV Management is to reach the door step of rural ceiling dental patients with all experience and implements and to educate, motivate and create awareness regarding dental health care amongst the lay masses. Dentistry is a craft and dentist is judged how efficient and master craftsman he is.
Situated at 10 km away from Solan city in the green valley and pollution free zone of Solan hills makes it a first choice for pursuing BDS course. In view of pressing demand of people of state of Himachal Pradesh, the DAV Management is in the process of starting P.G. course (MDS) in various specialties.
The collective endeavour of the students and highly efficient team of faculty members in bringing forth a good reputation adds another feather in the cap of the list of achievements of the college. A culture of innovative learning through research and voluntary study is pursued.
It is time to accept that change is the constant factor in practice and academics. World is not a parking place, it is a racing track; let us all keep on moving.

DAV society made a tryst with destiny 126 years ago for the spread of education in India. Since then it has opened schools, colleges and technical institutions in all parts of India, from the metros to the remotest corners of the country. Right from the start, carefully planned teaching innovations have been adopted, which have led to better teaching. The most modern of devices and teaching aids are in use, since that is in a way the very raison d’être of the DAV’s existence.
To seek the best from the world over and yet carry along with us our values that form the basis of every action of everyday life, blend the best of modernity with tradition is practiced for which DAV has also been seen as a precursor of change.
This process of gradual evolution that the DAV brings about is not just limited to students, but to all those associated with it, be they teachers, administrators, staff or parents.
I see DAV today, more than just an institution or an organization. It is a way of life that crosses all barriers of caste, creed, race and religion. Now with this prospectus, even geographical barriers are surpassed. This is so because at the core of our existence is enshrined the guiding principles by Maharishi Swami Dayanand ji and Mahatma Hansraj ji, which are the basic human values that have to be accepted the world over for us to build a better tomorrow. We try to do this by instilling the core values into every man, woman and child, towards the foundation of a more glorious future, because in education lies the greatest service to an individual, to the nation and to humanity.
Welcome to DAV family,
Regards,
Punam Suri.
