      Today science and technology are very important. The way Baba Iqbal Singh is running Baru Sahib's academy, he not only imparts education to the students but make them aware about culture as well. When I read the book of Baba Iqbal Singh, I was very much impressed by the way Baba Teja Singh and Baba Atar Singh's life was described. Akal Academy has so far 130 schools and Baba ji's mission is to have 500 schools of Akal Academy, Baru Sahib by 2025. This is a very good step and Punjab is with you.

      In Baru Sahib, every kind of religious as well as Cultural education is being imparted to children. I had heard so many rumours about Baru Sahib, but when I went there and saw for myself; again I was confident that Baru Sahib is really imparting a very good education. Free education is also given to the children who cannot pay their fees.

      Only with education can we raise our country. Baru Sahib Trust is not only trying their students with their roots and culture but they are also teaching very well. In this way, Baru Sahib is performing its duties very well.
