After the death of Swami Dayanand the Arya Samaj was split into two groups:
1. One group was headed by Lala Hansraj who favoured western education. Many schools and colleges were established at various places by his efforts and they are still running as DAV schools and colleges.
2. The second group was headed by Mahatma Munshi Ram who was in favour of ancient system of education, so he established Gurukuls.
