Dayanand Education Society was established in May 1961 at that time Latur was a Taluka place in Osmanabad District. Aspiring students from poor and middle-class families could not get any facility for higher education, rather than going to Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad It was fifty eight years ago, when the leading citizens from the different fields of life of Latur area, namely: Shri. Manikraoji Sonavane, Shri Chandrashekharji Bajpai, Shri. Keshavraoji Sonavane, Shri. Ramgopalji Rathi, Shri. Nathmalji Inani, Shri. Shantilalji Shah and Shri. Madanlalji Biyani, recognized the importance of higher education in order to achieve the overall progress and prosperity of the region. These dignitaries came together and decided to start a college in Latur. As many of them were followers of “Arya Samaj’, they proposed the name of Swami Dayanand for the education society. Hence, the name“Dayanand Education Society”. In June 1961, under the aegis of Dayanand Education Society Arts, Commerce, and Science colleges started functioning. The foundation stone was laid at the auspicious hands of the then Governor of Maharashtra Hon. Sri prakash.
“Latur Pattern” in the academic field has come into existence by the persistent efforts put in by all the colleges of this Education Society. In June 1961 Arts, Commerce, and Science Colleges were together which afterward were made independent for academic and administrative reasons. Dayanand Science was given independent recognition in 1967 so were Arts and Commerce in 1970. In the same year i.e. 1971, Dayanand Law College was established. In 2009 Dayanand College of Pharmacy was established. The year 2017 marked the establishment of Dayanand Institute of pharmacy while the Year 2018 marked the establishment of Dayanand College of Architecture.
Every College has its independent infrastructure and building. Nearly 10,000 students are taking educations in these institutes from Junior to Senior College up to UG, PG and Ph.D. level. In this Institute nearly about 800 teaching and non-teaching staff are working continuously to achieve the mission and goals of the institute.
