Founded in the year 1959 with only 38 students on its rolls, Arya Girls College saw its beginning in the precincts of the Arya Samaj Temple, Dayanand Marg. Ambala Cantt. The sapling was, with the passage of time, transplanted to the present campus which can boast of very rightly to be the ideal place for girls education both in terms of what Swami Dayanand Saraswati wanted an educational institution to be and what the present education system expects it to be.
