A School Project That Sparked Awareness
“Dad, can you help me with my school project on education improvements in India?” Simran asked eagerly.
Her father smiled, setting down his newspaper. “Absolutely! Have you seen the latest ASER 2024 report?”
“No, what’s in it?” she asked curiously.
A Remarkable Shift in Literacy
Her father’s eyes lit up. “It’s inspiring! In Punjab, the percentage of unschooled mothers has dropped from 23.2% in 2016 to 16.3% in 2024. Even better, mothers who studied beyond Class 10 increased from 21% to 27.3%!”
Simran’s face brightened. “That’s amazing! What caused this improvement?”
The Role of The Kalgidhar Trust in Rural Education
Her father leaned in. “A big part of the credit goes to The Kalgidhar Trust, which runs 130 Akal Academies across five northern states, educating nearly 70,000 students, with 32,000 receiving financial aid.”
He continued, “Their Akal Institute of Rural Women Empowerment (AIRWE) provides free residential education to underprivileged girls, focusing on English language training, life skills, and digital education. And Eternal University, Baru Sahib Sirmour, an all-women’s institution, has empowered countless women with higher education.”
The Vision Behind the Change
Simran listened intently as her father added, “This reflects the vision of Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, who always said that an educated woman transforms generations. His belief drives these initiatives, ensuring that education reaches those who need it most.”
Simran beamed. “This is perfect for my project! It proves how important these initiatives are for literacy and women’s empowerment in rural India.”
Her father nodded. “Exactly. Education isn’t just about learning—it’s about breaking barriers and building brighter futures. Organizations like The Kalgidhar Trust are leading this silent revolution every day.”
