Akal Degree College has been the first Institute in the Malwa region to impart value & moral based education whose foundation stone was laid by late Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji in 1920. He was inspired by the lofty ideals of the Great Gurus, who planned it to be a growing organization which would strive forever to achieve high degree of excellence of mind and body for the welfare of the society. Sant ji firmly believed that the dedicated and honest efforts should be made to fulfill and nourish the basic educational needs of the under privileged youth of the remote areas of Punjab. The budding talent in youth of this region should be supported and guided academically to facilitate their maturity to self reliance and an affordable high quality professional education should generate high employment potential.

Various freedom fighters from this institute actively participated in freedom fighting movement before Independence. In resultant to that the then British government forcefully ceased this institute. After Independence, the institute was re-established in 1968 and now this has become one of the premierinstituteinthisregion.
