AMRITSAR, AUG 11

 The chief of SGPC S. Avtar Singh Makkar has declared that new modern  museums based on the concept of Central Sikh Museum, will be set up in Gurdwaras especially in border areas so that the youth may learn about the history of the Sikhs and may be diverted towards Sikhi ultimately refraining them from menaces like drugs.

S. Makkar declared this at a historical Gurdwara of village Sourian during a one of its kind Dhadi Darbar organized by SGPC member S. Surjit Singh Bhittewad and Miri Piri Dhadi Sabha. S. Makkar said that the initiative taken by the S. Surjit Singh will bring ripe fruits for Sikhs as many will be inspired from the tales of valor and sacrifices sung by the Dhadis.

He said that the trend turning towards non Sikh practices i.e. becoming Patits is too dangerous for the existence of Sikhism so it has become too important to route the youth toward Sikhism either by educating them or inspiring them with Katha, Vaars, Kirtan, Paath etc.

 S. Makkar also advised the SGPC members to propagate the true Sikhi and principles of Khalsa in their areas so that the working of Parchar Committees may improve.

S. Makkar further said that the educational institutes, medical institutes and other facilities by SGPC are set up on the state of the art infrastructure. He inspired the parents and students to become complete Sikhs so that they may avail all the facilities especially reserved for Amritdhari Sikhs.

During this gathering S. Veer Singh Lopoke in charge constituency, S. Rajinder Singh Mehta, Rana Ranbir Singh, Rajinder Singh Raja, Manjit Singh and others were present.
