Report on Workshop ‘Global Development & Role of Faith Inspired Institutions ...JIVO WELLNESS PVT LTD
The document summarizes a consultation meeting held in Dhaka, Bangladesh that discussed the roles and contributions of faith-inspired organizations in development in South and Central Asia. Key points discussed included:
1) Faith-inspired organizations work on all major development issues but follow diverse approaches with limited coordination.
2) They are significant development actors but their contributions are difficult to define and measure given their decentralized nature and focus on less tangible impacts.
3) They play major roles in education through values-based teaching and reaching underserved communities, though their full contributions are not well understood.
Bio of Baba Iqbal Singh ji of The Kalgidhar Society, Baru SahibJIVO WELLNESS PVT LTD
Name: Baba Iqbal Singh
Parents: Sanwal Singh & Gulab Kaur
D.O.B.: 01 May 1926
Marital status: Never-married
Qualifications: M.Sc (Agriculture), retired Director Agriculture (Himachal Pradesh)
Taking over charge of the Kalgidhar Society 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, 42courses/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 have been imparted free teachers training and inducted into own schools as worthy Teachers.
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.
So much so that in 2012, Baba ji was rated as the most powerful non-political Sikh in the world by the "Top Sikh 100" Organization in UK. In 2014 he was awarded a Citation from the New York State Assembly as an exceptional individual, one which is worthy of the esteem of USA and the great state of New York for fostering Tolerance for people of all races and cultures.
Now, above 88 years of age, he has undertaken the task of realizing the 10th master Sri Guru Gobind Singhji’s blessing of ‘Guru kiKashi’ 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 Tithe ‘Daswandh’”.
He is also vigorously working to achieve the short-term goal of 150 schools by 2016 and long term goal of 500 schools within the next decade.
Baba Iqbal Singh is a 92-year old spiritual leader from India who was visiting England. Over the past 30 years, he has established 130 schools, 14 colleges and 2 universities across Northern India that provide value-based education to over 65,000 students annually without discrimination. The schools aim to equip children with both spiritual and technical knowledge. Baba Ji was inspired by Guru Nanak's mission and Wordsworth's view that educating children can transform society. His institutions empower women and work to reduce drug and alcohol abuse in communities.

On first impression, Niranjan Singh Mehta seemed to have everything well set up for a highly visible career as a Civil Servant. Born in the rich family of Doctor Ralla Singh, surrounded comfortably by a retinue of servants, Niranjan was taught Maths and Urdu by Mian Mohammed Deen and later completed his primary education from Municipal School Fazilka. Later he studied in Arya School Lahore, completed his matric in Mission High School Gujranwala and attended Lahore College.
He scored a gold medal in M.A. in 1900 and then cleared LLB in 1901 and started his law practice but could not work for more than 7 days, since he could not accept himself resorting to fabricated lies to win cases. In the in the interim, he got an offer of Headmastership of an Anglo Sanskrit School. He labored for one year in the school. At that
point he tested the civil services exam in the Salt division. In 1902, he was appointed as the Assistant Superintendent at Sanbhar Lake.
He was clear only about one thing that he would serve the commoners for the rest of his life. As a Salt officer three thoughts bothered him too much: “that the salt which for miles has come out of the ground, only needy ones make it for their use. My duty was to catch them and imprison them. It came into my mind that the nature had given a free gift to the poor and being instrumental for their arrest just for earning wages became a repulsive idea.” “One day I thought that it was better to educate the poor than to brag about my status as a Salt officer.”
He decided to quit the job because it was not his way to lord over poor and helpless people.
Based on his academic achievements, He became vice-principal of Khalsa College in 1904 and later its Principal, at the unprecedented young age of 27 years and the first Sikh to do so, since this benchmark was only met by British Teachers prior to this.

Most of us do not know that Turban has an Indian cultural heritage!
The whole of India used to wear a Turban. The Sikhs, Rajputs and Marathas were the ones who defied the Mughal diktat that only royals would be allowed to wear Turbans. And the Sikhs undertook the task of freezing the Turban in a time-capsule, so that no law or modernization could take it off.

General Information
The Kalgidhar Trust is an international organization with headquarters in North India. We have branch offices in USA, Europe, Canada, Australia, Singapore. With the Kalgidhar Society’s trusted & transparent methodology of working, individual and corporate donors are increasingly willing to provide ongoing support. Around 90% of all contributors to The Kalgidhar Society are annually contributing members.
The Kalgidhar Trust was founded over 107 years ago with a vision to create a contemporary version of the erstwhile Gurukuls (on the pattern of Nalanda and Takshila), wherein moral values could be harmoniously weaved along with modern scientific education.
The Kalgidhar Trust has embarked upon an ambitious mission to set up 500 low cost schools, all across North India, by 2020. Of these, 125 english medium CBSE rural schools are already operational in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and and produce toppers in their respective districts.
It has been reported that within a 30 km radius from every school (Akal Academy), drug addiction, alcohol abuse and general crime rate have reduced markedly post the establishment of the respective schools. This has happened primarily due to the remarkable positive influence ushered in by the students of these schools in their area. They have played a pivotal role in turning-around their family members, neighbours and village community against the prevailing social evils.
The Trust also runs one of the largest women focussed skill development program of 'Free Teachers Training' to train 2000 (10th and 12th pass) girls into qualified Teachers, who are provided with placements within these schools. This ensures that talent is retained in the villages and the DNA of atleast 3 families changes positively by each of these girls.
Also, the Trust runs a Charitable Hospital in the backward district of Sirmaur in Himachal Pradesh wherein more than 30,000 poor underprivileged patients are attended to with primary heathcare and emergency interventions. Four Free Medical camps are held in Sirmaur annually wherein free expensive surgeries are provided to poor beneficiaries who otherwise could never afford it.
The Trust currently has over 60,000 students who are ambassadors of peace and goodness, moving into the society and reforming lives. The ultimate objective of this mission is to establish permanent peace in the world by creating good human material through these schools. Not only social evils, but these students also contribute immensely to India's GDP to the tune of Rs. 135 crores from each school within the next 20 years.
The Kalgidhar Trust (TKT) is an organization with highly established credentials and is revered for its social and educational endeavors across 5 states in North India. Its biggest challenge today is to stall the social destruction of rural North India due to rampant drug addiction, a problem that has reached epidemic proportions. You will be shaken to note that 7 out of 10 adult men and 3 out of 10 adult women in Punjab are on drug abuse. These figures clearly tell the story of the current scenario in Punjab and also underscore the grave need for a massive counter program to repair this on a war footing.
This document provides a comparison chart of cooking oils that examines their properties in terms of cooking, health, taste, and application. It analyzes the oils' monounsaturated fat (MUFA), polyunsaturated fat (PUFA), saturated fat, and trans fat content to determine their health profiles. The document also discusses important performance measures like an oil's smoke point and fry life to help evaluate its suitability for different cooking methods. The goal is to help users understand how different oils affect food, health, and kitchen operations so they can choose the best oil for their needs.

The document discusses the work of The Kalgidhar Trust/Society (TKT/S) in establishing permanent peace through value-based education and empowerment. TKT/S operates 111 schools for rural students in North India, as well as universities including Eternal University and Akal University. The organization aims to provide modern education while also imparting moral and spiritual values. Other initiatives include healthcare, social welfare programs, and efforts to empower women such as job training. The ultimate goal is to uplift underprivileged communities and reduce disparities between rural and urban areas through education.

Punjab is slinking towards a vortex of Drugs and Alcohol, which has made many magazines give an expiry date to its present generation.
As the state moved away from its wealth of heritage spiritual values, the situation was aggravated by lack of education. Illiteracy has taken a heavy toll of the state and its is reflecting now in its rapidly declining socio-economic parameters.

Most of us do not know that Turban has an Indian cultural heritage!
The whole of India used to wear a Turban. The Sikhs, Rajputs and Marathas were the ones who defied the Mughal diktat that only royals would be allowed to wear Turbans. And the Sikhs undertook the task of freezing the Turban in a time-capsule, so that no law or modernization could take it off.

The Kalgidhar Trust was founded over 107 years ago with a vision to create a contemporary version of the erstwhile Gurukuls (on the pattern of Nalanda and Takshila), wherein moral values could be harmoniously weaved along with modern scientific education.
The Kalgidhar Trust has embarked upon an ambitious mission to set up 500 low cost schools, all across North India, by 2020. Of these, 125 english medium CBSE rural schools are already operational in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and and produce toppers in their respective districts.
It has been reported that within a 30 km radius from every school (Akal Academy), drug addiction, alcohol abuse and general crime rate have reduced markedly post the establishment of the respective schools. This has happened primarily due to the remarkable positive influence ushered in by the students of these schools in their area. They have played a pivotal role in turning-around their family members, neighbours and village community against the prevailing social evils.
The Trust also runs one of the largest women focussed skill development program of 'Free Teachers Training' to train 2000 (10th and 12th pass) girls into qualified Teachers, who are provided with placements within these schools. This ensures that talent is retained in the villages and the DNA of atleast 3 families changes positively by each of these girls.
Also, the Trust runs a Charitable Hospital in the backward district of Sirmaur in Himachal Pradesh wherein more than 30,000 poor underprivileged patients are attended to with primary heathcare and emergency interventions. Four Free Medical camps are held in Sirmaur annually wherein free expensive surgeries are provided to poor beneficiaries who otherwise could never afford it.
The Trust currently has over 60,000 students who are ambassadors of peace and goodness, moving into the society and reforming lives. The ultimate objective of this mission is to establish permanent peace in the world by creating good human material through these schools. Not only social evils, but these students also contribute immensely to India's GDP to the tune of Rs. 135 crores from each school within the next 20 years.
The Kalgidhar Trust (TKT) is an organization with highly established credentials and is revered for its social and educational endeavors across 5 states in North India. Its biggest challenge today is to stall the social destruction of rural North India due to rampant drug addiction, a problem that has reached epidemic proportions. You will be shaken to note that 7 out of 10 adult men and 3 out of 10 adult women in Punjab are on drug abuse. These figures clearly tell the story of the current scenario in Punjab and also underscore the grave need for a massive counter program to repair this on a war footing.
