Honoring Padma Bhushan Dr. Khem Singh Gill Ji (1-9-1930 to 17-9-2019) on his 6th Barsi: A Beacon of Agriculture, Education and Service.

On this solemn occasion, we pay tribute to Dr. Khem Singh Gill Ji , a visionary whose contributions transformed agriculture, education and rural upliftment. A live telecast of the BarsiSamagam is being streamed from GurudwaraBaru Sahib.As one of the pioneering figures of India’s Green Revolution, Dr. Gill’s

contributions to crop science and food security reshaped the nation’s agricultural landscape. A distinguished academic, his educational journey began with a B.Sc. from Khalsa College, Amritsar (1949) and M.Sc. from Panjab University (1951). In pursuit of advanced research, he earned a Ph.D. in Plant Genetics from the University of California (1966) and later served as the Vice-Chancellor of Punjab Agricultural University, inspiring generations of scholars and farmers alike.

Guided by the teachings of Sant Teja Singh Ji and working closely with Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, Dr. Gill embraced spirituality as a foundation for service. Their shared vision materialized in the establishment of 129+ Akal Academies across rural India, bringing holistic education to underserved communities.

His enduring legacy is preserved at Baru Sahib, where the Dr. Khem Singh Gill Akal College of Agriculture (DKSGACA) at Eternal University carries forward his mission through research and learning that blend science with ethics.

His legacy continues to inspire future generations in their pursuit of excellence and community development

To shape tech-savvy students, we need empowered teachers. A comprehensive teacher training program was conducted at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, equipping our educators with cutting-edge knowledge in AI, coding, and experiential methodologies.

From concept to classroom, we're ready to guide students in unlocking the future of learning!

Recently, we celebrated Independence Day at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, where Dr. Davinder Singh Ji (The President of Kalgidhar Trust) shared his views on income inequality and the growing gap between the haves and have-nots. His message reminded us that true freedom lies not just in independence, but in ensuring equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Freedom thrives when knowledge and values guide the future.

At Akal Academy, 130 schools unite in shaping young leaders who will strengthen our nation with wisdom, integrity and service.

Keeping pace with current trends, Akal Academy Baru Sahib has proudly inaugurated AI Learning Labs that go far beyond the traditional classroom. Dr. Neelam Kaur believes that while technology is essential, the way forward lies in blending it thoughtfully with active pedagogy. The traditional “chalk with heart” approach remains the cornerstone of education.

These labs are not just learning spaces; they are catalysts for transformation. The first lab has been established at Akal Academy Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, our mother school, and the second at Akal Academy Gomti, Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh.

As centers of innovation, they are empowering students from all walks of life, especially those from underserved backgrounds, with future-ready skills in artificial intelligence, coding and robotics.

Our gratitude goes to Dr. Nidhi Khurana and Mr. Rakesh Khurana from Goglobalways for their invaluable contributions in setting up the labs.
