PEEPING INTO THE PAST

ABOUT US

Over a hundred years ago in 1906, His Holiness Baba Attar Singh Ji Mastuane Wale had shared

his divine vision with his spiritual follower Sant Teja Singh Ji MA, LLB, AM (Harvard) about a sacred

place in the Himalayan region of Nahan state (now known as Baru Sahib) where many sages and seers

had meditated on the Divine Name. The place was also blessed by Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji during his

visit to Nahan State. Baba Attar Singh Ji had desired that the place should be established as Spiritual Centre

for the educational institutions imparting value based education combined with the modern scientific

education on the pattern of old Gurukuls like Nalanda and Taxila Universities of the past. As ordained,

Sant Teja Singh revealed the Divine Valley Baru Sahib in 1956 to his spiritual disciple Baba lqbal Singh

Ji and later purchased the entire Baru village of 460 acres from Thakur Joginder Singh, the owner of the

land. Sant Teja Singh visited Baru Sahib in 1959 at the age of 82 along with many highly educated

devotees. During his second visit to Baru Sahib a small mud room Gurudwara with a verandah was

constructed and Shri Guru Granth Sahib was installed. During the prayer he prophesied that with the

will of the God this place would turn into a great spiritual centre from where schools, colleges and divine

Universities will impart value based education fromNursery class up to the Ph. D. level. Sant Teja

Singh Ji established a trust in 1965 with his six devotees. It was registered as "The Kalgidhar Trust" on

October 22, 1982 by Baba lqbal Singh ji, then Director Agriculture, Himachal Pradesh, to promote World

Peace through spiritual and value based education and universal brotherhood. To further the cause

of The Kalgidhar Trust, the first Akal Academy was established at Baru Sahib in 1986 and the

outstanding model has been translated to a network of more than 131 Akal Academies running in

various states of Northern India.

Eternal University, Baru Sahib was established under Himachal Pradesh Government Act No. 3 of

2009 to impart value based education in the subjects of Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, Nursing,

Engineering & Technology, Divine Music, Spiritualism and Public Health etc. The Eternal University

is a world class multifaculty university with fourteen colleges and schools spread over 8,00,000 square

feet in the picturesque valley of Divine Peace. The university is developing outstanding Engineers,

Scientists, Administrators, Teachers and Global citizens with high moral values to act as the

messengers of eternal peace and universal brotherhood.

Akal College of Agriculture (ACA)

Introduction

Akal College of Agriculture (ACA) has been established in the Eternal University, Baru

Sahib for providing undergraduate (B.Sc.(Hons.) Agriculture and B.Tech. Food technology) and

postgraduate (M.Sc. in Food Technology and Ph.D.in Biotechnology) teaching and research and

development in the field of agriculture and allied streams like biotechnology (with specialization in

plant, pharmaceutical, environmental and animal biotechnology) and Food Technology. Agriculture

had transformed Indian and global economy by ensuring food, nutrition and health security to ever

increasing population. Keeping in view the scope and benefits of agriculture in Indian and global

context, the Akal College of Agriculture has initiated undergraduate and postgraduate programmes

with a combination of innovative courses and basic research in different areas of specialization in

biotechnology and food technology through highly trained and experienced faculty. Simultaneous

development of the College farm provides field facilities for giving adequate work experience for

the B.Sc. Hons. (Agri.) course. Much stress is being given at the under graduate level to train the

students in all the farm operations. They have to raise all the important crops of the State in small

plots in the college farm under the `work experience' programme. In the final year of the course

they will be given intensive field training in the Research farms of the University where they will

get proper exposure to the practical problems in agriculture. The goal of ACA is to develop and

enhance the professional skills of the students with respect to the diversification of hill agriculture,

including supplementary, complimentary and competitive enterprises in the agricultural sector

scenario.

The Eternal University has also entered into MOUs with national and international

laboratories to enable the students to take up their research work effectively. Major emphasis in

postgraduate research is being given on improvement of functional food ingredients,

biofortification of micronutrients and enhancement of their bioavailability, bioprospecting of

medicinal plants for diverse pharmaceutical potential and conservation of ecosystem and

biodiversity.

Keeping in view the scope and application of biotechnological interventions in food,

nutrition and health security and sustainability of natural resources, Eternal University, Baru Sahib

established Akal School of Biotechnology, now department of Biotechnology in Akal College of

Agriculture in September, 2010 to promote excellence in teaching and research in biotechnology

with specialization on plant molecular breeding, bioprospecting of functional foods, medicinal

plants and microbial biodiversity of Himalaya. The department with highly trained and dedicated

faculty and state of the art laboratory facilities has taken up a Department of Biotechnology (GOI)

funded project on “Biofortification of wheat for high grain micronutrients using conventional and

Molecular Breeding approaches”, while a few other projects submitted to various national

organizations are under consideration.

AKAL COLLEGE OF ARTS & SOCIAL SCIENCES

1) Introduction:

The Akal College of Arts and Social Sciences is a unique set of its lofty ideals as enunciated by

our founder Saint, Sant Attar Singh Ji when he said, “Students must engage themselves in right

earnest to the task of getting the required knowledge, both spiritual and worldly so as to become

the messengers of peace and spiritual brother-hood; imbued with love and compassion they

should serve the downtrodden and the neediest of the needy and thereby help in establishing

permanent peace in the world”.

Akal College of Arts and Social Sciences is divided into two wings:

(I) Akal College of Divine Music & Spiritualism: This wing was established in the year 2008,

under the aegis of UGC approved Eternal University, at Baru Sahib (H.P). The objective for

setting up this institute was a holistic approach of imparting knowledge in the field of Music (both

Vocal & Instrumental), following Guru- Shishya-Paramapra, the system in which Indian

traditional music was nurtured & thrived for centuries. The institute thus follows integrated

approach, by working towards not only academic learning along- with professional skills

seeking employment for teaching in the field of Music.
