The wave of Rural Transformation has hit village Manal this time – With Foundation Stone laid on 13th November 2013 through the hands of 89 Years Young Baba Iqbal Ji himself, the village will now soon have its own Akal College for Women.
“The opening of the Akal College in this district will hugely be helpful; the girls will no longer need to travel distant places for First-Class Higher Education”, Babaji quoted on the occasion of Inaugural Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony.
During the event, he talked about the vision behind running of various Educational Institutes including Akal Academies and Colleges, which seek to provide modern scientific education following the traditional disciplines and strategies of Gurukul, striving to curb the drugs/alcohol addiction and to uproot the prevalent social evils from our society whilst invoking spirituality – faith & love for almighty into students.
The 5.5 acre of land for the noble cause of developing the Akal College has been donated by Major Gurcharan Singh Jhaj and his wife Raminder Kaur Jhaj, in the loving memory of their deceased son S. Gurdeep Singh Jhaj to The Kalgidhar Trust for the Noble cause of imparting quality education.
The inauguration ceremony observed presence of several social, religious personalities, who honored Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, for his commendable work and relentless efforts, especially at such age of 89 years.
Whilst addressing the guests, Babaji also mentioned about the “Guru Ki Kashi – Akal University” being constructed at Damdama Sahib – Talwandi Sabo Ki , which undertakes the noble task of bringing to reality the 4th Blessing of Gobind Singh Ji (The 10th Master); where he appealed everyone to support and contribute for the Great Noble Endeavor.
Babaji expressed to the audience that Sri Guru Granth Sahib is an ‘Epitome of Inter-Faith’ and our community has remained unsuccessful in spreading the awareness about this noble truth which can bring universal unity amongst people of all faiths whilst explaining that the foremost objective of Guru Ki Kashi would be to translate Guru Granth Sahib into all the languages of the world, so that the proclaimed message of brotherhood can be propagated.
