jaspreetsingh@barusahib.orgSome success stories are not defined by privilege but by perseverance and inner strength. One such inspiring journey is that of Beant Kaur, born in the Mansa district of Punjab in a humble farming family where dreams existed but opportunities were limited for girls
Her father worked the fields with unwavering honesty while her mother held the home together with silent resilience. Life was simple and defined by hard work
A Turning Point After 10th Standard
After completing her 10th standard, her life took a transformative turn when she arrived at Baru Sahib through The Kalgidhar Society’s AIRWE initiative also known as the Akal Institute of Rural Women Empowerment. What awaited her was not just academics but a lifestyle rooted in discipline, spirituality, and purpose-driven education
AIRWE – Education With Values at the Core
Life at AIRWE followed a rhythm that reshaped her worldview
- Midnight prayers nurturing inner discipline
- Meditation cultivating peace and balance
- Morning classes focused on academics with moral grounding
It was not easy but it was deeply transformative. The program helped young rural girls build confidence, character, and a sense of mission beyond personal success
Meeting a Mentor Who Changed Her Direction
At Baru Sahib, she had the opportunity to meet Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, whose vision for educating rural and underprivileged children especially girls left a lifelong impression on her
“He didn’t just teach us to study. He taught us to live for something larger than ourselves,” she reflects
Serving Baba Ji was a living education. His simplicity, dedication, and lifelong commitment to service quietly shaped her values and her purpose
Pursuing Higher Education Without Financial Burden
Her resolve found direction at Eternal University where she pursued a BA BEd program. For a farmer’s daughter, receiving complete institutional support lifted the biggest barrier that limits rural girls – financial constraints
Education became a doorway rather than a burden
Becoming an Educator and Continuing a Legacy
Today, Beant Kaur serves at Akal Academy Cheema Sahib where she stands in front of young minds as a teacher, nurturing the same values that once lifted her. Her journey has come full circle – from a girl seeking opportunity to an educator creating it for others
A Living Tribute to a Visionary
Beant Kaur is not just an alumna. She is proof that Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji’s mission is alive through every student transformed and every classroom touched
Her story reflects a powerful idea
Educating a girl does not just change her life. It transforms families, communities, and generations
Eternal University
Educating minds Empowering lives
