Founded 13 September 2025 on Seva, Unity and Gurmat, and run entirely by volunteers under twenty-five.

02 — Vision & mission
The three pillars
Guru Nanak Dev Ji gave us.
"Naam Japo, Kirat Karo, Vand Chhako" are the three basic principles of Sikhism taught by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. They guide us towards a truthful, spiritual and socially responsible life — and everything we organise answers to one of them.
Kirat Karo
Earning a living through honest, hard work — and carrying that honesty into every role we hold here.
Pillar 02 / 03Vand Chhako
Sharing what we earn and what we eat with others, especially those in need. Langar is our classroom.
Pillar 03 / 0303 — In their words
