The Kalgidhar Society – Baru Sahib is working towards a long-term and sustainable transformation in communities by addressing the root causes.
Rural Education
Women Empowerment
Healthcare
Environment
Community Welfare
The program is focused on promoting value-based quality education and spiritual uplift to underprivileged and deprived rural masses in far-flung rural areas of North India.
In a society where people are indulging in female foeticide, The Kalgidhar Society is laying a great emphasis on empowering women, especially those who are destitute or in vulnerable situations.
The Society runs various programs which provide state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to people from rural communities who cannot access high-quality healthcare services.
To keep the environment clean and green, the Society has taken multiple initiatives towards Solar energy plants, waste management and plantation drives.
To make sure that everyone leads an honorable and respectable life, the Society has taken up various initiatives which extend a helping hand to those who need the most.

Dr. Manmohan Singh Former Prime Minister of India
Today science and technology are very important. The way Baba Iqbal Singh is running Baru Sahib's academy, he not only imparts education to the students but make them aware about culture as well. When I read the book of Baba Iqbal Singh, I was very much impressed by the way Baba Teja Singh and Baba Atar Singh's life was described. Akal Academy has so far 130 schools and Baba ji's mission is to have 500 schools of Akal Academy, Baru Sahib by 2025. This is a very good step and Punjab is with you.

In Baru Sahib, every kind of religious as well as Cultural education is being imparted to children. I had heard so many rumours about Baru Sahib, but when I went there and saw for myself; again I was confident that Baru Sahib is really imparting a very good education. Free education is also given to the children who cannot pay their fees.

Only with education can we raise our country. Baru Sahib Trust is not only trying their students with their roots and culture but they are also teaching very well. In this way, Baru Sahib is performing its duties very well.
