The D.A.V. College Managing Committee, commonly known as DAVCMC, is a non-governmental educational organisation in India and overseas with over 900 schools, 75 colleges and a university. It is based on the ideals of Dayananda Saraswati and Arya Samaj. The Dayanand Anglo-Vedic (DAV) education system also comprises colleges offering graduate and post-graduate degrees in various disciplines all over India.

Founded in 1886 in Lahore, British India (now Pakistan), these schools are run by the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic College Trust (DAVCT) and Management Society, also commonly known as the Dayanand Anglo-Vedic Education Society (DAVES). Today, institutional records of the D.A.V. College Trust and Management Society are part of the archives at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, at Teen Murti House, Delhi.

English is the primary language of instruction, with students also receiving compulsory education in Hindi and Sanskrit or a regional language. The DAV movement has grown to become the single largest non-governmental educational society in the country, managing 900+ educational institutions, apart from D.A.V. Public Schools across the country and even abroad,(~9 including Nepal, Singapore, UK, USA and colleges in Mauritius and Fiji) with an annual budget of more than INR ₹2 billion. It employs over 50,000 people and educates more than 2 million students every year.

In 2013, the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India awarded 40 institutions for its contribution to quality education. ASSOCHAM awarded DAV College Managing Committee with 'Best Chain of Schools in India' award.
