On the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, commonly known as World Drug Day 2024, Akal Drug De Addiction Centre is taking a bold and transformative step in the fight against drug and substance abuse. We are thrilled to announce the initiation of our third Drug De-addiction Centre, a ray of hope for countless lives battling addiction.This new state-of-the-art facility is more than just a treatment center; it is a sanctuary for healing and transformation. Our holistic approach combines modern clinical treatments with the healing power of spirituality, ensuring a comprehensive path to recovery. At the core of our methodology lies a commitment to research, allowing us to continually refine and enhance our strategies to create lasting change.<h1>Pledge ₹1 a Day</h1> Our ApproachComprehensive Treatment ApproachWe do not see drugs and alcohol as the core issues but rather as symptoms of underlying pain and maladaptive beliefs. Our method involves working with each patient to safely dismantle their defenses and uncover what lies beneath. We offer top-tier medical treatment provided by expert psychiatrists and mental health professionals. Our holistic care integrates medication, diet, yoga, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. By making the unconscious conscious, we facilitate powerful healing and a true encounter with the self. Spirituality Makes All the DifferenceOur ethos is centered on spiritual alignment to help counter the decline caused by drug addiction. While our treatment methods are scientific, clinical, and evidence-based, we emphasise awakening the patient's willpower, nurtured in the ethos of Chardikala (ever-rising spirits). We believe in changing the worldview of addiction, mental health, and treatment by insisting that love (Divine Grace &amp; Faith) is the ultimate healer. <h2>Invest in Curing Addiction; Donate ₹1 a Day</h2>Help build a state-of-the-art drug de-addiction center. The 1 Rupee Pledge embodies a simple yet powerful commitment to support Colonel Dr. Rajinder Singh's lifelong mission against drug addiction. Dr. Singh initiated this chain of change by contributing ₹1 a day, equating to his entire life of 90 years. Now, you have the opportunity to join this movement by pledging just ₹1 a day for a duration that mirrors your own age or that of your loved ones. Whether it's for a year, a decade, or even a century, your pledge signifies unity with our cause. Vision: To change the global perspective on drug addiction and mental health treatment by integrating divine grace, faith, and clinical evidence-based practices. Land Contribution: The Kalgidhar Trust has generously gifted 2.5 Acres of land for the new center in Chunni Kalan, Mohali. Expansion of Impact: Currently operating two centers, one in Baru Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, and another in Cheema Sahib, Punjab, Colonel Dr. Rajinder Singh aims to extend his support further with this new facility.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/541075ac-00da-472c-94a2-69af29fd621f.webp" /><h1>Pledge your support, donate now!</h1><h2>Support Recovery, Support Life</h2> Why This MattersAddiction doesn't just impact individuals; it devastates families and communities.

Almost 50% of Students Commute To School On Foot In India: NAS 2021 Data.Nearly half of the school-going kids in India travel to their respective schools on foot. As per the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021 - Ministry of Education, 48 per cent of students commute to school on foot, and 18 per cent use a bicycle. It also revealed that the total percentage of students using the school and public transport is around 9 per cent each. Meanwhile, 8% of students commute to school via their vehicle (two-wheeler), while just 3% come to school using their four-wheeler. 
 Akal Academy, under the aegis of The Kalgidhar Society, is always keen to improve the overall educational infrastructure of their schools in rural belts of 5 northern states, and precisely school transport as it is one of the significant aspects which plays a vital role in providing education to the students residing in the countryside. More than 37,500 students from over 6450 villages come to 129 Akal Academies daily, and we provide school transport to students living at a distance ranging from 4 to 60 kilometres. In an urban setup, this was a simple task. In rural areas, though, travelling is not easy as the transport facilities still need to be developed.

Due to lockdown for the last 52 days, unaided private schools are requested by the authorities not to charge school fees. Since fees received from the students is the only source of money for these schools in absence of the same schools are not able to pay salary of their staff for the last two months. In order to keep school going child’s mind focused during the lock down period these teachers are delivering on their duty daily by teaching the students on-line. This method of teaching being in nascent stages demands a lot of hard work and in absence of a salary. 
 Make people aware of the current situation of teachers and establish that teachers are COVID warriors too, maintain the essential services of education for the children.
