The Turnaround being demonstrated

Thanks to the consistent anti-drug rallies by students of Akal Academies!

Hard to believe, but in the land where booze flows more freely than the waters in its rivers, at least

72 villages from various districts have passed resolutions u/s 40 of the

Panchayati Raj Act seeking closure of all liquor vends in their villages.

For India, For North India, For Punjab

INDIA’s GDP stands to gain by a minimum of

Rs. 300 crs annually

through each batch of passout students

from these 500 schools through capital generation and

employment of these rural youth
