About Eternal Charitable Foundation
The Kalgidhar Trust is an Education-focused, not for profit, charitable organization, to primarily promote value based rural education along with Women empowerment, Health-care and Social welfare to under-privileged rural citizens.
The biggest challenge today is to stall the social catastrophe looming large in rural North India due to serious social issues like drug addiction, alcohol abuse, female feticide, farmer suicides etc. that have now contributed towards a tumultuous economic decline. This problem that has reached epidemic proportions, with the State Department of Social Security for Women and Children publishing a survey that 67% rural households in Punjab have at least one drug addict. This correlates with the fact that 69% rural households do not have a matriculate, reflecting the importance of education in addressing social issues.There is a need for a massive counter-program to repair this on a war footing since these northern states are the border states of India.
TKT is an organization with highly established credentials and is revered for its social and educational Endeavours across 5 states in North India. Hence, the Trust (TKT) has embarked upon this ambitious mission to reach out for support, in its endeavor towards setting up 500 low cost schools by 2020. Of these, 129 English medium rural schools with 60,000 students are already operational in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
The model of these schools was conceptualized over 107 years ago, by our visionaries,as a contemporary version of the erstwhile Gurukulas (on the pattern of Nalanda and Takshila), wherein moral values could be harmoniously woven along with modern scientific education to produce good global citizens.
Concerned authorities have reported that within a 30 km radius from every school (Akal Academy), drug addiction, alcohol abuse and general crime rate have reduced markedly, post the establishment of the schools. The impact is primarily due to the positive influence brought in by the students of these schools, who play a pivotal role in turning-around and inspiring their family members, neighbors and village community against the prevailing social evils.
The students of these shrines of value-based education, who are ambassadors of peace and goodness, move into society and transform lives.
TKT also runs one of the largest women skill development program of 'Free Teachers Training' for training 10th and 12th pass girls into qualified Teachers, who are then provided placements within these schools.This ensures that talent is retained within the villages. An internal study shows that each such empowered girl positively impacts the mindsets of at least 7 families.
TKT also runs a Charitable Hospital in the backward district of Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh wherein more than 30,000 poor underprivileged patients are annually attended to, with primary healthcare and emergency interventions. Four Free Medical camps are held in Sirmaur annually wherein expensive surgeries are provided free of cost to poor beneficiaries who, otherwise, could never afford it.
History is proof that India has not only withstood but also shone brighter every time it has been confronted with challenges and hardships. Without doubt, this instance is going to be no different. However, the battle at hand is a tough one and needs to be fought with all our might and with the best of the minds. Each of these 'value empowered' students would be the future asset of the nation.
The Kalgidhar Trust has been initiated to fight this war, which we has to win, with your support!
