Not merely by reading but by knowing as well the knowledge is developed. Gyan is not what is written in books, it is the source of all the knowledges of the world. There's a question — the answer is within. If one can control a serpent or charm a scor-pion it is not knowledge. Now we have to strive hard with our children to develop them with the supreme knowledge, so that they know the source of knowledge and handle their own pro-blems before they identify in the world with so-called knowledge.

The idea of Sant Kirpal Singh Ji with the school was to create ideal children who while studying would be helped to know the very art of their life which may further lead them with higher values of life.

In the Kirpal Sagar Academy the children ranging from an age of 5 to 12 years are taught the humanity above outer labels, rituals, rites, different dogmas, caste, colour or creed. At present the Academy accommodates 350 boarders from the first to the seventh class. In their daily life, beside the subjects, they learn self-confidence and the spiritual aspects of life, through their teachers who duely live a pure life with high thoughts.

Kirpal Sagar Academy has its own charm to develop the chil­dren through debates, declamations and contests which further make them self-centered.

Being the remotest and poorest part of Jalandhar District there are many poor students who are given hundred percent free education.
