SIKHS For Education
Endeavour is to help Punjabi youth make successful careers for themselves.
We are an Education Charitable Trust, where we provide financial assistance to needy students from Punjab who are preparing for entrance exams like NEET, CAT, NDA, IMA, IAS etc.
Punjab has become a prisoner of it’s boisterous old stereotype but has meanwhile forgotten its entrepreneurial energy and it’s competitive spirit. It’s young are dropping out of school and hitting on to drugs
Or making a wild dash for West not for Tech, Banking, Management or Medical pursuits but for sub optional jobs like driving taxis/ trucks or chopping vegetables in the backrooms of desi restaurants
Punjab lost its national stature in sports long ago. It now almost never registers its presence in national or International competitions. Balbir Singh, one of world’s greatest sporting icon and triple gold medalist in hockey, once summed it up with misty eyes: “sab khatam kar diya ji drugs ne. Ab yeh woh Punjab ka youth nahi hai. Woh to khokhla ho gaya hai”
One celebrated for its huge representation in armed forces, the lure of uniform for Punjabi youth is on a fast decline. Today most recruitment rallies go back with vacancies, the young either disinclined or sadly physically inadequate.
A recent government study suggest that more than then 8,60,000 young men in the state between ages of 15 to 35 take some form of drug. One estimate says that more than 2/3 of Punjab’s households have at least one addict in the family. Drug consumption is 3 times the national average.
A mother of 3 sons all lost to drugs now, Manjit Kaur is inconsolable. Lack of opportunities and more importantly hope pushed her sons into drugs. Drug abuse is a raging epidemic and has shaken the entire society in the state which stares at losing an entire generation to drugs.
