A proud moment for the Akal Academy family as Hon'ble Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, President – The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib, addressed an Educational Symposium at the House of Commons, Parliament, London, attended by head teachers and leaders of faith schools from across the United Kingdom.
Speaking on the theme of Value-Based Education: Shaping the Future of Ethical Learning, Dr. Davinder Singh Ji shared the philosophy that lies at the heart of the Akal Academy model of education, inculcating values alongside quality modern education.
Drawing upon Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's timeless teaching:
ਦਇਆ ਕਪਾਹ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸੂਤੁ ਜਤੁ ਗੰਢੀ ਸਤੁ ਵਟੁ ॥
Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread, modesty the knot, and truth the twist.
Reflecting these timeless principles, Dr. Davinder Singh Ji shared the eight core values that form the foundation of the Akal Academy model of value-based education:
Moral Values
• Truthfulness
• Honesty
• Humility
• Sweetness in speech and conduct
Spiritual Values
• Kindness & Compassion
• Contentment
• Patience
• Forgiveness & Tolerance
Dr. Davinder Singh Ji reiterated that lasting peace cannot be achieved through technological advancement alone, but through an education system rooted in moral and spiritual values.
Today, this vision continues through 130 Akal Academies across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh, serving over 70,000 rural students, along with two universities dedicated to value-based learning.
As the world faces increasing social and moral challenges, the need for education that builds character, compassion, and conscience has never been greater.
How can education shape not only successful individuals, but also ethical leaders, responsible citizens, and compassionate human beings?

Children Learn More from Who We Are Than What We Say

Children learn far more from who we are than from what we say. They notice emotional tone before instruction, imitate behaviour more deeply than advice, and grow where they feel emotionally safe, respected, and heard.
Our actions often become a child's first curriculum. This inspiring message highlights the importance of leading by example and creating a positive environment for children's holistic development.
