About Society

            Dayanand Education Society was established in May 1961 at that time Latur was a Taluka place in Osmanabad District. Aspiring students from poor and middle-class families could not get any facility for higher education, rather than going to Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad.

Keshavraoji Sonavane, Shri. Ramgopalji Rathi, Shri. Nathmalji Inani, Shri. Shantilalji Shah and Shri. Madanlalji Biyani, recognized the importance of higher education in order to achieve the overall progress and prosperity of the region. These dignitaries came together and decided to start a college in Latur. As many of them were followers of “Arya Samaj’, they proposed the name of Swami Dayanand for the education society. Hence, the name“Dayanand Education Society”. In June 1961, under the aegis of Dayanand Education Society Arts, Commerce, and Science colleges started functioning. The foundation stone was laid at the auspicious hands of the then Governor of Maharashtra Hon. Sri prakash.
