Hostels

When children step out to another city for study, myriad apprehensions capture the parents about their health, food, accommodation, environment, safety and security. We, at DAV College Jalandhar understand how difficult it is to let children go away from home and so, we have created adorable hostels to provide them an optimum ambience to homely feelings.

The Glorious Traditions

It is a matter of pride and pleasure that our students have established high traditions of discipline and we expect that the new entrants will not only maintain but also improve upon these glorious traditions.

A healthy and peaceful corporate living is an art which one acquires by learning rather than by instinct and its pre-supposes creation of rules and regulation which all should respect and honor. It should be understood that perfection of human life lies in restraint and self-control. Discipline is the most important element in one’s individual and social dealings and its need in such a big hostel as ours cannot be over-emphasized.

Holistic Development

In its hostels too, DAV provides an ambience that promotes collective well being and fosters a spirit of cooperation, respect, and bonding. The hostel functionaries, executing their duties with utmost devotion, ensure a peaceful environment conducive for study and a child’s moral and cultural development. With regular organization of festivities and competitions, the students get to sharpen and show their talents, and in the process acquire mutual respect and understanding.
