HISTORY: THE GLORIOUS 50 YEARS

‘Rome was not built in a day’. D.B.S. (PG) College, Dehradun is an example of such a statement since its humble beginning in July 1961.It has been a long and an eventful journey to attain its position as a numero uno college of the region.

This all had been possible with the untiring efforts of (Late) Dr. Virendra Swarup, MLC, Advocate and Chairman, Legislative council U.P and president, D.A.V College Trust and Management Society, Kanpur (UP) and the founder Principal Dr. Mata Baksh Srivastava who were the chief architects in founding, raising and manning this highly growing college of unique combinations and distinctions.

The college was started in July 1961 having a couple of rooms and with only 93 students spread over the departments of Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geography, Military Studied and Economics after proper affiliation with Agra University up to degree level.
