Sewak Jatha Dadar - Education Wing held its 5th Annual event in the Darbar Hall of Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha(Dadar,Mumbai).This was for the felicitation of Sikh students securing 75% marks and above in Std Xth examinations for the academic year 2010-11.A total of 91 students were felicitated with Siropas, Trophies and cash gifts. Out of these, the ones requiring financial assistance have been selected for scholarships.
In the meeting an emphasis was put on the fact that all Sikhs should take an oath to speak in their mother tongue(Punjabi)at homes and while talking to other Sikhs .Parents and children were encouraged to develop the habit of reading in order to be well informed on the current events.The concept of having a Study room/Library in our Gurdwaras was also brought forth!
All Gurudwaras in India/Abroad should do similar events as this will surely help in promoting feeling of pride among youth for being a Sikh.
Celebrating Excellence is an appreciative way through which we can impress upon all that the community not only cares but is also geared towards meritocracy.It can have a ripple effect on Sikh youth.
With thanks : Young Sikh Leaders
