Akal Academy celebrates annual day

A series of activities marked the 38th Annual Day of Akal Academy, Baru Sahib, in Sirmaur district today.

As part of the celebrations, students presented martial arts demonstrating their dedication to fitness and discipline. Kindergarten students showcased ‘Journey to Zero Hunger’, a heart-warming skit.

They highlighted the importance of sharing, compassion and working towards a world where no one went to bed hungry.

Senior students performed a skit, “Investing in Women’s Education”, making a fervent appeal to the audience about the transformative impact of educating young girls.

Through moving scenes and strong messages, they highlighted how education empowered girls to break barriers, uplift families and build a brighter and more equitable society.

Senior students also showcased an inspiring ‘gatka’ performance, honouring the spirit and legacy of the Sikh martial arts.

Competition Commission of India Chairperson Dr Ravneet Kaur, as the chief guest at the event, said, “Akal Academy is shaping minds, fostering dreams and nurturing spiritual aspirations among students.”

Kalgidhar Trust president Baba Dr Davinder Singh said, “We seek strength from our saints and blessings from Waheguru to fulfil this purpose. Each small step we take — each life touched — is a part of our journey towards global peace and spiritual brotherhood.”

He added, “The school that began with five students holds in its vision the aspiration to spread value-based education to every corner of the world. Each annual day is a reminder of our commitment to serve humanity through education —renewing our efforts with more faith, greater determination, and profound gratitude for the opportunity to serve and realise Saint Baba Iqbal Singh ji’ vision for 500 schools.”
