Eternal Education Program
 

The world today needs men, who are honest, virtuous, selfless, compassionate and can show restraint despite extreme provocation; men, who can show path of love and can 'give' without looking for any returns.

A century ago in 1906, a Saint and a great visionary, Sant Attar Singh Ji following in the footsteps of the Great Guru declared that the true way 'To Establish Permanent Peace' in the world is by creating good human material through value-based scientific education and spiritual Uplift. He had visualized that modern scientific education alone will not serve humanity unless it is amalgamated with Spiritual Education. Various educational institutions by The Kalgidhar Trust have been established keeping this vision in mind, wherein students are provided value-based high quality scientific education enabling them to imbibe the virtues of sharing, doing selfless service and devoting one's life doing benevolence and promoting universal brotherhood, embracing humanity and praying for welfare unto all.

The concept is now being adopted by some of the premier institutions of higher learning in the West as well as in India. The graduates of this unique educational system will not only be outstanding in academics, but also will have high moral values. They will have love for humanity, compassion for the weak and commitment to selfless service for the community. In a way, the graduates will work towards establishing permanent amity in the world and will act as Ambassadors of Peace wherever they go.

 
Vision transforming into reality:

Construction of 19 academies in full swing.
Admission for junior classes started in many academies.
