About Us
Great scholars will spread the divine message of Sri Guru Granth Sahib among the people in the entire world in their respective languages resulting in universal peace and brotherhood:
Three centuries ago, the tenth Master, Guru Gobind Singh Ji stayed at Talwandi Sabo, finalized the compilation of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and prophesied that this place will manifest as Guru Ki Kashi-a great Centre of teaching and learning from where will emerge great scholars of Sikhism. About two centuries thereafter, establishment of Gurumat Vidalaya by Sant Atar Singh Ji Maharaj was the first step in this direction. About a century thereafter, establishment of Akal University, Talwandi Sabo under the leadership of Baba Iqbal Singh Ji Baru Sahib Wale was culmination of what the tenth Guru prophesied about three centuries ago. The University has started its Third academic session this year. The mission and vision of the University is not merely to impart literacy but also to provide high quality spiritual value based education leading to holistic development of complete human beings who will propagate the message of Universal brotherhood and philosophy of interfaith wisdom enshrined in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji .
Unlike most of the educational entities having commercialized the higher education by operating like business ventures, the Akal University has mandated to uphold the three basic principles of higher education namely; Teaching, Learning and Research. Consequently, the University has started with Undergraduate and Postgraduate Honours courses in basic sciences of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Psychology, Economics and Commerce, and English and Punjabi languages. The University also offer Ph.D programmes in Zoology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics, English & Economics.
Offering the three years Bachelor of Arts(Honours) Degree in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Studies is a unique programme of the University, probably first of its kind offered by any University in the country and abroad. The programme is fully residential and totally free including fee and boarding and lodging charges. The course aims not only to impart complete learning of the Holy Scripture but also to teach Guru Darbar Maryada, Sikh tenants, Sikh history and life and teachings of Sant Attar Singh Maharaj Mastuane Wale and other enlightened sages from different sects and religions of the world. Comparative study of different religions is an integral part of the course.
Magnificent building with ultra-modern facilities for teaching and research is the hallmark of the University. Wi-Fi campus, well equipped modern labs, internet linked Smart Class rooms, high tech well stocked library facilities, CCTV cameras for special security of girl students, modern residential accommodation for teachers and separate hostel facilities for boys and girls, 100% healthy vegetarian diet, RO system on all drinking water coolers, well-functional university transport services for staff and day scholars, drug free campus, sports and recreational facilities for boys and girls, and special fee concession ranging from Rs. 8,250 to 62,000 per meritorious student are key features of the education system at the University.
