Born at village Churpur in Ludhiana district of Punjab, where she grew up playing with mud toys and mud cakes, manpreet Kaur had never thought of this day, when she walked to the stage to get two gold medals, one in MA in instrumental music and other un overall MA topper at the convocation of Eternal University, Baru Sahib .
Kaur was among 40 students who were conferred degrees and honours. She was also given employment by the Kalgidhar Soceity which runs the university. Her father is a security guard in a pvt company and his mother is a housewife. Manpreet and her siblings hardly had an opportunity to good education.
“ Its and experience which I can’t explain in words. When I came here in 2005, as a school drop out, I never thought I would have this privilege. My parents found it tough to meet my expenses of my education. My mother who heard from someone about free education being imparted here to girl children of poor families, brought me here to shape my future. Today she had tears of joy when she saw me with two gold medals and also a dignified job at Akal Institute of Divine music.” – Manpreet Kaur
She will be travelling around the World, US, Canada, England for carrying the legacy of the Trust through Kirtans and fund raising programmes organized to support children and girls like her.
She wants to find her space in the music world and revive the Saranda which is facing neglect.
She gives all the credit of her success to Baba Iqbal Singh Ji who has framed the career of nearly 60,000 students, many of them imparted free education and residential facility!
