Looking Back: The Year 2021

ਆਗਾਹਾ ਕੂ ਤ੍ਰਾਘਿ ਪਿਛਾ ਫੇਰਿ ਨ ਮੁਹਡੜਾ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਿਝਿ ਇਵੇਹਾ ਵਾਰ ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਹੋਵੀ ਜਨਮੜਾ॥

Aagahaa koo traagh Pichha pher na muhdharha. Nanak sijh ivehaa vaaar Bahurh na hovee janamrhaa. Look ahead; don’t turn your face backwards. O Nanak, be successful this time, and you shall not be reincarnated again.

The Brief of this Report

DR. DAVINDER SINGH, SECRETARY

The Kalgidhar Society – Baru Sahib

This End of the Year report showcases our achievements of the year gone by. At the same time, this is the opportunity to express our gratitude to you for your continuous support and unfaltering faith in us that has made all this possible. It is an attempt to thank you for all your contributions and encouragement to continue our philanthropic projects.

The Covid-19 pandemic has taught everyone something or the other; the biggest lesson of being compassionate and caring at all times.

The small acts of compassion like a caring touch, a kind word, a listening ear work wonders in curing even critical patients. The Doctors, Nurses and other paramedical staff at Akal Charitable Hospital treated the patients with ‘CARE TO CURE’ along with medication.

This charitable hospital is the only medical facility in a radius of 60 Km in this backward region of Himachal Pradesh. This is the reason why Akal Charitable hospital was declared DCCC (Dedicated Covid Care Centre) by the State where 753 patients were treated during the second wave of pandemic,

in which patients could not get oxygen to breathe. But with your support, it was provided free to them in this hospital.

People are treated here irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion. Not only free medication to the patients but also free accommodation and meals are provided to their attendants.

The importance of fundamental years of schools cannot be denied, in which the lessons learnt remain with the child for lifetime. Teachers play a vital role in inculcating the discipline and self-confidence in students which pave the way to success.

Beating his city counterparts, Simrandeep Singh, an alumnus of Akal Academy Kauriwara (Mechanical Engineer by profession) from Mansa district secured 34th rank in UPSC 2020 exams conducted for top posts in Civil services across the country. Like him, thousands of our rural children have excelled on All India level and cracked the competitive exams and selected for top notch positions in Govt. jobs. These excellent results show the time and efforts our teachers put in for the success of their students.

We appreciate your trust in us and wish you a blessed 2022.
