Rural School Education
To establish permanent peace in the world through value based education and spiritual rejuvenation, creating good global citizens.
To meet the need of the hour, Eternal Charitable Foundation has brought low cost quality education to the doorstep of the rural poor through the chain of its Akal Academies. The belief that the model has worked in the desired manner is reinforced by just a walk across any Akal Academy campus, which is an absorbing experience.
The atmosphere is distinct, simple with modest uncomplicated approach, rich with the spirit of potential, the heritage of past achievements, and the vitality of inquiry and discovery. So much happens here.
Eternal Charitable Foundation is an unsung unassuming fountainhead that for decades now has been advancing all aspects of life: education, health, socio-economic-moral empowerment. We map the child’s heart to create an enabler that spreads love and compassion. We examine the society around us, its advantages and its threats, and develop ways to make the globe a safer, peaceful, sustainable, sensitive, more equitable place. Our 60,000 students explore the finer aspects of micro-organisms, Newton’s laws, Polonium, the new entrant in the periodic table and the subtle issues of human values, pardon, inner awakening; all in the same breath.
Although thousands of our students especially girl students are already taking scholarships; ECF has embarked on a novel program in 2013 that reaches out to weaker sections. It has decided to pledge Free Education (including books, stationery, uniforms) till class XII (from KG) for the children from weaker sections of the society. This means every year each school pledges Rs. 35 lakhs per year for 140 class-years per school.
Considering how imperative it is for these schools to be self-sustaining, we have designed a model for their operation ensuring that not only are they able to support themselves after a period of time, but also their prospective sisters.
We seed our schools with infrastructure, curriculum, trained teachers and systems for their early years of operation. These schools become sustainable in 3-5 years depending upon their locations and availability of resources. It ensures their longevity and growth.
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!
