Social Welfare
We invest in smiles and rejoice with each life touched by us. We have set up a home for widows and destitute women at Baru Sahib that houses several unfortunate women who have lost their husbands or have been discarded by their families.
An old-age home has been set up at Baru Sahib for numerous elderly people. Some of them are trained professionals while some are retired officers/officials from various departments – civil, army, accounts, income tax, science, medicine, engineering, etc. These senior citizens enjoy the beauty of great outdoors in The Valley of Divine Peace.
The Trust looks after all their basic needs including boarding, lodging, medical and health care. Along with their spiritual uplift, such children become professionally trained to live honourable life and eventually become an asset to the society and the nation.
The organization has been carrying out a unique women empowerment program for rural needy women and widows at Baru Sahib and nearby villages. The Rozgar Yojana (employment scheme) imparts tailoring, embroidery and stitching training to womenfolk in 10 village centres and provides them with necessary employment.

Through this the women are carving a new identity for themselves and are regaining their self-confidence. The products of these rural women are collected at Baru Sahib and these women do not have to worry for the sale of their products as it is taken care of by the volunteers of the organization.
With their dwindling financial resources and weakening health, elderly are often being perceived as a burden and even while living within the family, may face violence and neglect. Many senior citizens are living without children.
The most severely isolated and lonely are people over 75, particularly older women, those who are widowed and those living alone.
We, at The Kalgidhar Trust – Baru Sahib run an orphanage by the name ‘Child Welfare Foundation’ at Baru Sahib, which brings up several orphans with love and care.
Orphaned children are at a dramatically greater risk of drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, suicide, poor educational performance and criminality. Their care in tender age is essential to save them from such maladies and to render them facility for normal growth and development.
Kalgidhar Society aims to build superior human Character and high moral values as a way to establish permanent world peace.

cutting through complexityWhat I heard, it is much more than that. This is a place worth visiting and taking a part in this movement. Students of villages are being given Free Education and all other facilities. The Rural School results are highly impressive. Government of India, Indian State Governments & Punjab Chief Minister should adopt this as a Model. Foreign students are happy. Baba Iqbal Singh is a blessed soul. May Satguru give all success to The Kalgidhar Trust!
