What is Naam and How do we attain it ?- Baba Iqbal Singh - Baru Sahib answers your questions

It is our Good Fortune to have access to Baba ji's accumulated Divine Wisdom over the past 89 years in his Sewa for the Panth.

Akal Academy is a chain of 129 Rural Schools across 5 states, 33 Districts and 6450 Villages in North India. Fighting Drugs with Books!

Taking over charge of the Kalgidhar Trust in 1965 after his guide/ mentor Sant Teja Singh (MA. LlB, A.M. Harvard) passed away, Baba Iqbal Singh after retiring in 1987 operationalised the mission of "combining modern education with faith to produce good global citizens".
He started a 1 room school in 1986 with only 5 students which today is a chain of 129 CBSE affiliated English medium schools, 42 courses/programs, 2 private universities benefitting around 60,000 rural students. These institutions are in deep rural hearts of North India "away from urbanisation" imparting value-based education to rural marginalised children who otherwise are exposed to the menace of drugs and alcohol abuse in rural North India.
Furthering the cause of women empowerment in rural areas by setting up educational institutions dedicated to women, teachers training programs and employment centres within the villages. Today more than 2000 rural girls are being imparted free teachers training to be inducted into own schools.
With millions of beneficiaries/volunteers worldwide, Baba Iqbal Singh has been working relentlessly in the direction of imparting education in the rural marginalised areas of North India. He believes that rural children are getting pushed away from the mainstream and cannot really contribute much to the nation's growth hence the drive to "educate-enshrine-empower" these large masses is the need of the hour.
Now, above 88 years of age, he has undertaken the task of realizing the tenth master Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji's blessing of 'Guru ki Kashi' for Damdama sahib by building the Akal University 'Guru ki Kashi' at Talwandi Sabo at a huge cost of Rs. 500 crores. And his message for all is "it is the duty of every Sikh to support Guru ki Kashi with his Daswandh".
He is also vigorously working to achieve the short-term goal of 150 schools by 2013 and long term goal of 500 schools within the next decade.
