Projects In Hand
On ISC Front
As we all are aware COVID19 has played havoc in heath hazarded throughout the world including India. Intermittently, COVID19 curfew/ lockdown became the norm since March23 onward everywhere. All in/out activities became stand still from the last four months. It crippled economy to unimaginable extent resulting in mass migration of more than 12 crores labour force disturbing industry and all economic activities. The worst part is, no light is in sight at the end of tunnel as of today.
Change in Administrative structure:- We may bring to the notice of all executive members & Associations that due to deteriorating health of Lt. Gen K.S. Gill, he himself requested Col. J S Multani to step into his shoes and take the responsibility of the post of Secretary General which he was holding from the birth of ISC. This matter was conveyed to the Hon’ble convenor Dr S S Johal and other executive members with on line meeting wherein it was unanimously agreed that Col J S Multani may take charge as Secretary General in the month of April 2020. Mr. J S Gogia was requested to take assignment of General Secretary. It is pertinent to note that Mr. J S Gogia has been working as General secretary with FOSWAC from the last eight years. ‘FOSWAC’ is an apex body of RWAs of Chandigarh and has been deeply engaged in development and welfare work in the city from the last thirty-two years. He is an Ex General Manager in the senior management rank from KK Birla group of companies. He has impeccable educational and professional career in several organisations of international repute.
Hyderabad project:- ISC took bold step to initiate Hyderabad Project to uplift of under privileged communities of Sikligarh and Vanjara sometime 8 Years ago. The primary school building has been completed 75 % by June 2020. It may take another 3 to 4 months if the donation of around Rupees four lakhs are mobilised. We are running short both of donations and time to complete it. Due to lack of resources both students and teachers are facing difficulty to adopt ON LINE study which has become norm due to COVID19.
Coaching centres:- We are running three coaching centres at Mukandpur (District Nawan Shahir), Shergarh (Patiala) and Pandori Khazur (Hoshiarpur) The results for tweleveth class ending March 2020 has been extremely good and quite encouraging; there is anoverall improvement by 10 % in marks as compared to last year. Most of the students have achieved above 80% marks.

PM AWAS YOJNA:- The GOI is planning to construct 6.1 million housesfor the poor within next two years. These houses will be allotted to the underprivileged people at subsidised rates. We have shown interest in it and are following up if we can participate in the scheme for uplift of Sikligarh and Wanzara Community. For this purpose, ISC is spear heading for Low income group houses for them. Community Count Group has been formed with local representatives for planning and execution. We shall report the progress when we succeed to take up such project.
Censes for 2020-21:- ISC find that the Sikligarh and Wanjara were not counted as Sikhs during last Censes held in 2011-12. ISC is spear heading the campaign that these two communities must be recorded as Sikh so that the benefit of minority should flow to them.
CSR (Company’s Social Responsibility) Work:- GOI has made it mandatory for the companies to spend 5% from their profit for the welfare of the people as social responsibility. We at ISC front is taking up the matter with certain organisations of well repute to come forward for coordination and collaboration of CSR work by out sourcing to us. It would be a win –win situation where the staff of the companies would be free to do their routine work and ISC will get financial support for undertaking certain fruitful projects. We are hopeful to make certain progress in this regard in near future.
Youth Empowerment and skill development:- Presently, the need of time is to impart skills to the youth for their gainful employment or to make them capable to start their own entrepreneurship. Our Secretary, Brig. GJ Singh VSM took initiative to train and motivate the rural youth for recruitment in armed force, and police. We are spreading our effort to include other civil courses for preparing them for competitive examinations of banks, railway, hotel management and likewise other services. For this purpose, we are in search of suitable Institutes partners who can coordinate and collaborate with ISC as a joint venture. However, it is taking time to initiate this programme due to spread of COVID19.
We are in touch with S. Amanjeet Singh of “SEWA SEWA DUBAI” for coordination with us for skill development and are hopeful to get through this venture.
Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College Chandigarh had been kind enough to admit Rural Sikh students sponsored by us in all under graduate courses who have obtained 80% or above in twelve class examination, with certain concessions in tuition fees.
Home work tuition centres:- We are running eight such centres in Punjab with the objective of helping the students to do homework at designated places either in Gurudwara or schools after the school hours. The dedicated teachers help the underprivileged students regularly so that they improve in study. It is pertinent note that there is conspicuous improvement at least by 10-15 % they have scored higher marks this year. Our life member S Vikaramjit Singh NRI has paid teachers emoluments and stipend to the meritorious students under this project.

Usage of Media:-
Gradually and slowly we have been equipped with infrastructure for
Deployment of media for ISC activities.
The ISC members grouped indifferent categories and the persons who are in touch with us on face book, email WhatsApp and zoom must have noticed many fold increase in ISC activities.
To take full advantage of Information Technology, it is not out of way to mention that several issues viral on social media were taken up with apex body “S G P C” Amritsar and Jathedars of Takhts to begin with. It is not out of the way to mention that we are facing several social and religious issues which need attention of Sikh organisations for finding the ways and means to settle those issues. Several recordings are being made and put in the media for better communication with masses.
