Dedication
Late Dr. R. David (1900-1961) was the vision of the founding father of the David Memorial Education Society. Today, analysts predict that by 2050, India will be the 3rd largest economy in the world. All it needs to do is to channelize its youth effectively. DAVID MEMORIAL EDUCATION SOCIETY became an active participant in enabling this change. Starting from the very first stage for child development to the post graduate and professional levels of education, we at David Memorial Education Society aim to equip our students with knowledge and skills that will help them don leadership roles in the emerging future.
We see students who enter these portals as a potential human resource. By honouring their skills, by creating awareness of the latest trends in thought and action, by inculcating sound attitudes and values and by nurturing this talent capacities, we aim to turn out holistic individuals who will be true assets in both their personal and professional ambits. In turn, we hope to see these empowered individuals act as catalysts of change in the society. Our vision is to provide this cascading catalytic effect to help make India into a strong, vibrant and economically powerful democracy in the world.
