PROLOGUE
The Dayalbagh Educational Institute (DEI) is located amidst the tranquil environs of
Dayalbagh, a self-contained colony renowned for its serene environment and secular
establishments. The DEI Education Policy was conceived, planned, formulated, crystallized
and executed by the Supreme Teacher and Founder Director of DEI in the year 1975. The
Government of India promulgated its National Education Policy in 1986. A comparison
between the two reveal various common aspects implying the Education Policy of DEI
anticipated eleven years earlier those aspects beneficial to the country which were
incorporated in the National Policy of Education later in 1986.
Based on the principles of co-operation, unity, service and success the institute aims to
promote value education among its students. DEI has been pioneer in implementing the
social service and community development programs since its inception. Social service is
an integral component (under rural development) of DEI’s program of innovative and
comprehensive undergraduate education which combines academic excellence with social
relevance.
After becoming 100 percent solar campus and doing wonders in this very domain another
milestone was achieved by the Institute when it turned into a complete digital campus.
Digitization and transparency in financial transactions as an urgent need of the nation has
always been acknowledged and adopted by the Institute. In DEI and its ICT/ Distance
Education Centers, almost all the micro/ macro payments, viz., payments to vendors in the
interest of the institute, payment of salaries to the faculty members, support staff and other
wage earners are made through e-banking mode. Even fee collection, payments of
scholarships and payment of caution money is made only in e-mode.
NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (NSS)
The Motto of NSS "Not Me But You", reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds
the need for self-less service. NSS helps the students develop appreciation to other person's
point of view and also show consideration to other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS
is well doctrined in this motto, which underlines/on the belief that the welfare .of an
individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society on the whole and therefore,
the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society.
NSS@DEI
