Miri Piri Sewa Society: A symbol of service to humanity

The “Charhda Suraj” campaign has introduced a fresh dimension to social service in Hoshiarpur district by aligning traditional community work with the digital era. Spearheaded under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain, the initiative not only offers a platform to exemplary social organisations but also recognises their relentless commitment to public welfare.

Among these, the Miri Piri Sewa Society, Garna Sahib, has emerged as a remarkable model of dedicated service and selfless contribution. Established in 2018 by a group of dedicated young individuals and formally registered in 2019, the society draws its inspiration from the Miri-Piri philosophy of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji—a harmonious blend of spiritual elevation and social responsibility. With this guiding principle, the society has worked tirelessly across diverse domains including education, healthcare, environmental protection, sports, culture, spirituality and animal welfare.

The strength behind the society’s impactful journey is its cohesive and self-motivated team, comprising Mandeep Singh Dhindsa, Jaswinder Singh Manku, Pritpal Singh Soni, Manjinder Singh, Parmjit Singh Ghumman, Ramanpreet Singh, Nawab Singh, Amarjit Singh, Advocate Ramanpreet Singh, Akashdeep Singh, Dr Kulwinder Singh and Parmjit Singh Bharaj. Their combined efforts have positively transformed lives and kindled hope among countless individuals.

Over the years, Miri Piri Sewa Society has extended financial support to underprivileged students, facilitated medical assistance for economically weaker patients, aided in the marriages of needy girls and regularly distributed ration and clothing to struggling families. Through initiatives such as blood donation camps, general health check-ups, eye care drives, and cancer awareness programs, the society has reached hundreds across both rural and urban populations.

Highlighting the society’s core vision, Mandeep Singh emphasised their commitment to environmental conservation. The organisation has carried out tree plantation drives, mosquito fogging campaigns, and cleanliness initiatives to promote a sustainable and healthy environment for future generations. Simultaneously, it has actively involved youth through Gatka competitions, sports meets, and “Sundar Dastar” contests, fostering discipline, confidence and a strong connection to Sikh heritage.

In addition to service, the society has taken bold steps in combating social evils such as drug abuse, dowry practices, and other regressive customs. Through awareness rallies, educational seminars, and counseling sessions, Miri Piri Sewa Society has consistently promoted a progressive and informed social outlook.

Spiritual enrichment remains another vital pillar of their mission. From organising Gurbani Kirtan sessions and teaching traditional Sikh instruments (Tanti Saaz) to conducting religious events, the society has strived to anchor youth in spiritual and cultural values. Parallel efforts in animal welfare, medicine provision for the underprivileged, health awareness seminars, and even construction support for economically disadvantaged families are pursued with equal vigour.

Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain lauded the society’s initiatives, remarking that the “Charhda Suraj” campaign aims to spotlight organisations working silently at the grassroots to bring real change. “The work of Miri Piri Sewa Society is not only inspiring but also a testimony that organisations built on commitment and service form the true backbone of society,” she stated.

Today, under the ‘Charhda Suraj’ campaign, Miri Piri Sewa Society, Garna Sahib, stands as a beacon of community service and social transformation. Their journey underscores the powerful message that when service becomes a mission, positive change is not only achievable—it becomes inevitable.
