Women Empowerment
In Punjab, women are still deprived of their human and basic rights in the name of family honor, social customs, cultural traditions and wrongful religious interpretation.
Despite the fact that women are not given equal opportunity, women have actually greatly contributed to farming activities in the industries of fishery, dairy, bee keeping and fruit and vegetable cultivation.
The organization lays emphasis on educating the girl-child and believes that by educating a girl child, not only the entire family but 7 other families get educated.
Under the aegis of this institution, the selected girls are enrolled in the Eternal University to pursue B.A. (Arts), B.Sc. (Med & Non-Med), B.Sc. Eco (Hons) & B.A. /M.A. (Music), ETT (Elementary Teacher Training).
After completing B.A. (Music) they are given additional training in ancient string instruments and are also provided training in the Teachers, Training Centre, Cheema Sahib & Mohali on spiritual studies and other programs related to it. Similar, paradigm is followed for the girls enrolled in the ETT program.

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!
