Sangeeta Kakar's Company Details
Standing like a beacon in the heart of the city, Dyal Singh Evening College represents a synthesis of tradition and modernity and it is this characteristic that is encapsulated in its motto. The rich legacy of the institution can be traced back to the vision of its founder Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, remembered as the founder of The Tribune and the Punjab National Bank. Hailing from Punjab, one of the great sons of India, he wanted to infuse a scientific outlook in the minds of the people ridden with blind faith and superstition. For this purpose Sardar Dyal Singh willed his estate for the establishment of an educational trust for a secular college, and in 1910 Dyal Singh College Lahore was established. Post-partition, the Trust set up by him kept his vision alive in India as well. An eminent educationist, late Dewan Anand Kumar, the former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab University, immortalized Dyal Singh Majithia, by establishing two academic colleges in his name: one at Karnal and the other at Delhi.It started functioning in the capital as constituent college of the university of delhi in 1958 and was taken over by the university of delhi as a university maintained institution in 1978.
