OUR MISSION To establish permanent peace in the world through value based scientific education, spiritual rejuvenation and women empowerment. 01 “What is that can empower our nation ? Obvious answer is Education. Education enhances livelihood but also education that is Value Based Education that gives roots and gives wings as well” Our Vision - Baba Iqbal Singh Ji (Chancellor) (Retired Director Agriculture, H.P.) Winner of Sikh Lifetime Achievement Award in London - 2012 A Discussion with Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, President of Kalgidhar Trust, India with Berkley Center. The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University, created within the office of the President in 2006, is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of religion, ethics and public life. Through research, teaching and service, the center explores global challenges of democracy and human rights; economic and social development; internal diplomacy; and interreligious understanding. Please expand on Values-Based Education and what it means to you and your work? Broadly Speaking, There are three types of Education: The first type focuses only on literacy without any moral content. I believe the merely literate person is the most egoistic and selfish because he is taught no moral values and thinks only about himself. Most Schools, Colleges and Universities around the world impart literacy and not Value-Based Education. The second type of education is Value-Based where you combine literacy with moral, ethical and religious instructions is far more holistic. An individual who has gone through this type of scholastic career starts to think about the needs of others and begins to see himself connected to them and has a very broad outlook. The third type of education is the spiritualized education with divine wisdom for which you have no need to go to any school, because the divine knowledge of the universe springs from within. None of the prophets or the founders of the great world religions went to any University to learn the lessons about the Divine. One only needs to delve into the scriptures of the great religions for this type of education. Our organization combines spirituality with literacy (basic education) to impart Value-Based Education to students. As a result our students are free from drugs/substance abuse and the use of alcohol. They are thus able to focus their minds on study, sports, and the well-being of others around them. Value-Based Education is the real need of the day to produce good upright human beings, who can inspire others to tread on the divine path and serve mankind selflessly. The effects of Value-Based Education have been far reaching. Our students have helped reduce tension in their homes by counselling their own parents. In some cases, they have succeeded to keep their parents from divorcing. We are convinced that Value- Based Education is the best way to enable society to move forward and bring about sustainable development in the world. Through such education, we will be able to harness the energy of the youth and persuade them to work for the betterment of the world which is now in turmoil.

The place was also blessed by Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, during his visit to Nahan State. Sant Attar Singh Ji had desired that the place should be established as Spiritual Centre for the educational institutions imparting Value- Based Education combined with modern scientific education on the pattern of old Gurukuls like Nalanda and Taxila Universities of the past. As ordained, Sant Teja Singh Ji revealed the Divine Valley Baru Sahib in 1956 to his spiritual disciple Baba Iqbal Singh Ji and later purchased the entire Baru village of 460 acres from Thakur Joginder Singh, the owner of the land. Sant Teja Singh Ji visited Baru Sahib in 1959 at the age of 82 along with has many highly educated devotees.
