The Kalgidhar Trust secures an appreciation for Good Governance practices in the Voluntary Sector!

It takes efforts, credibility and a lot of faith in what one does and once that confidence is instilled into the good work, it takes you places. This confidence and good work of Rural Transformation has won The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib, a coveted Accreditation from Credibility Alliance, an initiative by collective Voluntary Organizations who are committed towards enhancing accountability and transparency of an organization in the Voluntary Sector through good governance.

CACredibility Alliance with institutional support from Ford Foundation, has emerged to be a nodal agency for good Governance practices in the Voluntary Sector with a trust among all the stakeholders through improving governance within the Voluntary Sector. Accreditation/certification of VOs would be useful for both public and private sector and also for International donor agencies to select credible organizations for funding. This mechanism preserves the autonomy of the Voluntary Sector even while establishing a robust mechanism for self-regulation.

The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib has been granted this alliance for the efficiency that is visible through the exceptional work that has been done in the field of Rural Transformation through 129 Value Based Rural Schools imparting Value Education to more than 60,000 rural students with 2 Private Universities reaching out to 6450 villages of Northern India. The CA accreditation helps The Kalgidhar Trust get recognized as an accountable, transparent and governance driven organization.

Accreditation of The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib with CA adds on to the much-appreciated work of the organization through rural transformation alongwith Elementary Teacher Training Program, running Akal Charitable Hospital and Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center; and organizing Free Medical camps across Northern India. And what better gift to the community that this has been the first community organization to be accredited with CA.

Here’s to never ending motivation that keeps us growing, thank you for the love, support and care!
