Durga Dutt Kapilashrami Smarak Sanskrit Mahavidyalay was founded in 1996 in the memory of Late Shri Durga Dutt Kapilashrami and his wife Smt. Bachi Devi Kapilashrami. They donated the land for school building and initial trust funds. The main work of organizing the school and ensuring its success was done by the founders' nephews, the Kapilashrami brothers (Madan-Mohan, Dayanand, Chakradhar, Sachidanand and Mahesh-Chandra) with major contributions being made by Dr. Mahesh-Chandra Kapilashrami (President 1996-2007) and Mr Dayanand Kapilashrami (Vice President 1996- ).
