Akal Academy is a chain of 129 co-educational English medium low cost public schools following CBSE curriculum and affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in the rural areas of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The students are mostly from the deprived sections of society, admitted regardless of caste, creed, region, religion and social status.The world today needs men and women who are honest, virtuous, selfless and compassionate and can show restraint despite extreme provocation; also who can show the path of love and have the capacity to give without yearning for returns. To fulfill this acute need of developing human beings with such sterling qualities and lofty ideals our founding father Sant Attar Singh Ji declared our Mission Statement in 1906, almost eight decades before the first Akal Academy was established, that reads: “To establish permanent peace in the world through value-based scientific education and spiritual upliftment and provide solace and succor to the downtrodden and the deprived.” Akal Academy aims at developing young people to cultivate a mind imbued with spirit of inquiry, thirst for knowledge, respect for diverse world cultures and a keen desire to serve the community in which they live and work, as well as aspire to serve humanity at large through their spiritual values and knowledge acquired through modern education. Incorporated in Guru Granth Sahib, the above divine verse exhorts or stresses that the ones who are educated will always have a universal outlook and will use education for the betterment and welfare of human-kind. Value based education is the core of Akal Academies .Intellectual development has to be blended with self-actualization and divine consciousness so as to embark on the journey of leaving this world as a better place. We, at Akal Academy, Baru Sahib believe in empowering young minds with value based education, alongside exposing them to the best of educational pedagogy.
