“The Sabha now provides education to the nation from preschool to university level. This achievement of the Sabha is assigned to the Founder of Arya Samaj, Swami Dayanand Saraswati for his profound words of wisdom when he proclaimed that the responsibility to educate every child through broad based proper education in humanities and the sciences was that of the nation as a whole.”
