Founded in 1956 - The Kalgidhar Society has been working tirelessly towards transforming the lives of children through the tool of value-based high-quality education.  At the same time, Society has placed equal focus on empowering women, providing health care, and ensuring social welfare for the vulnerable people in the society. With the firm belief that everyone deserves to lead a life of dignity, each initiative of the Society is embedded in the core thought of Bringing Grace to the Human Race.

The Kalgidhar Society initiated its work to bring back the glory of Punjab which is free of drug and alcohol abuse through the tool of education rooted in values. In its quest of fighting drugs with books, the Society has established 129 low cost CBSE schools under its flagship Akal Academies program and 2 universities, providing modern, value-based education to nearly 70,000 students across rural areas of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Extending a helping hand to all those in need and giving them an opportunity to lead a decent life, the Trust has established teacher training centres, a multi-speciality hospital, drug de-addiction centres, an orphanage, and a Center for Distressed Women. 

Through the years, our work has been recognized globally and models developed by the Society have been adapted across educational institutions.
