SWAMI DAYANAND JI SARASWATI, the visionary founder of the
Arya Samaj Movement, firmly believed that education's primary goal is to cultivate human awareness, enabling individuals to discern truth from falsehood. To imbue knowledge with the essence of truth, the pioneers of Arya Samaj, Model Town, Ludhiana, led by
Mahashay Sant Ram Sayal and his team embarked on a mission to establish a temple of learning for the new generation. This institution would provide holistic education grounded in the principles of Arya Samaj. In 1955, their aspirations took shape with the inauguration of
Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyalaya within the premises of Arya Samaj, Model Town, Ludhiana. Later, Mahashay Sant Ram Sayal handed over the charge to his able successor
Sh. Bal Mukund Munjal.
