The Management established Dayanand College of Arts and Science in Solapur in 1940 to celebrate the victory of Satyagraha launched by Arya Samaj against the atrocities committed by then the ruler of Hyderabad. Since then the Managing Committee has gone on continuously expanding its educational activities for the welfare of the people of Solapur and the surrounding areas. On 17th June 1940 Dayanand College of Arts and Science was established under the stewardship of Prin. G.L. Datta. The city of Solapur and the surrounding areas needed such a facility.
