The Veda Niketan, founded by luminary and stalwart Pt. Nardev Vedalankar, was established with the objective of upholding the third principle of the Arya Samaj which reads, ‘His word, the Veda: The Veda is the Scripture of true knowledge. It is the paramount duty of every Arya to learn and teach the Veda, to hear it read and to recite it to others.’  The Veda Niketan disseminates Vedic religion and philosophy by engaging in two broad activities, viz. conducting of religious examinations and publishing Vedic literature, both in the English language.
