The day at the NCC Annual Training Camp begins at 6:00 hrs with Physical Training. Around 600 cadets assemble at designated base areas across the Baru Sahib Campus in their respective companies (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta), each comprising 150 cadets.
Led by the Chief Physical Training Instructor, along with the Permanent Instructors, the session begins with roll calls, followed by jogging to the Physical Training Grounds. The cadets then move through warm-up exercises and cardio activities, followed by a series of exercises covering different muscle groups from head to toe.
The training also includes group activities that emphasise strength, coordination and teamwork. In one activity, cadets work in pairs, with one cadet walking on their hands while their buddy supports and holds their legs.
The final activity focuses on learning how to carry an injured buddy over the shoulder, introducing cadets to a practical technique for assisting a wounded soldier on the battlefield.
From early-morning physical training to activities that build coordination and teamwork, the session combines physical fitness with practical learning.
Stay tuned for the 3rd episode, featuring Cadet Drills & Squad Formation.

At Akal Academy, we believe that children learn not only through what they are taught, but through what they experience every day.

The way we speak.
The way we listen.
The way we treat others.
The way we respond with patience, kindness and respect.
These everyday moments quietly shape a child’s understanding of the world and of the person they are becoming.
For educators and parents, this makes every interaction an
opportunity to nurture values alongside knowledge. Because our children are always learning from us, even when we are not consciously teaching.

Glimpses | Storytelling Workshop – Down by the Mangroves
Previous
Next
Earlier this month, Students of Akal Academy Baru Sahib participated in a storytelling workshop centred around the children’s novel Down by the Mangroves: Heartfelt Middle Grade Story Set in the Sundarbans, led by children’s author Prabha Ram.
The novel centres around the protagonist Moyna, a fifth-grader living in the Sundarbans. Her world includes school, friends, family and the mangrove landscape around her. The story suddenly changes when her father goes missing, and Moyna has to navigate grief and a changed life.
As a story brewer, Prabha beautifully crafted the tale that is “wild, and gently hopeful,” aiming to help students feel seen and connected. The students were deeply connected to the story. She narrated how Moyna’s journey reflects real emotional experiences: how sorrow and joy can coexist, and how community helps healing.
Through narrative, visuals and discussion, the workshop connected literature with real-world ecology, culture and personal resilience.
Alongside the storytelling workshop, Prabha also conducted a reading comprehension and SAT preparation session for Class 11 students, focusing on comprehension strategies and the reasoning patterns involved in the test. Students engaged with questions and ideas that encouraged them to read critically and think through different perspectives.
Prabha also penned a special note for Akal Academy Baru Sahib
“The whole atmosphere at Akal Academy was something special.
The students were so alert, so genuinely curious about wildlife and nature. The questions about setting and place really impressed me, and students had a strong sense of geography and how location shapes the story. It was a clear sign of how much they'd gain from even more language exposure and a deeper reading culture early on. I left those sessions feeling inspired.
At Akal Academy, I also observed the light draping the hills, a calm and beautiful feeling that leaves you with a joyful feeling all day. I saw goats roaming the slopes above, listened to the birds chirping, and watched farmers working the surrounding fields. Plum and chai between sessions arrived like clockwork; the warmth of children, the teachers and the place is priceless.
And I was lucky enough to meet Babaji and Dr. Neelam Kaur Mam during this visit. Not every workshop trip gives you a conversation that sticks with you long after, and I'm still thinking about it. I'm so grateful for the time they gave me.
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.”
— Prabha Ram
Student Takeaways
· Literary Connection: Students saw how setting, character, and theme intertwine to create emotionally resonant stories.
· Ecological Awareness: The Sundarbans emerged not just as a backdrop but as a living, threatened ecosystem deserving protection.
· Emotional Literacy: Moyna’s experience offered a framework to discuss grief, support systems, and the return of laughter “little by little.”
· Cultural Appreciation: Folklore like Bonbibi and local birdlife deepened understanding of the region’s unique identity.
The students experienced literature not simply as something to read, but as a way to understand people, places, cultures and experiences through stories.
