Reconnecting Students with their Cultural & Religious Roots

About the Centre

A space for students to engage deeply with Sikh values, language, music, and martial heritage.

The Centre for Sikh and Cultural Studies of the College aims to establish and create among students a keen awareness about Sikh values. It has been set up with an objective to rekindle our connection with our cultural and religious roots. Keeping this in view, the Centre offers a broad range of pedagogical and intentional training across a progressively wide range of topics.
From the Gurmukhi script to Gurmat Sangeet, from Gurbani Santhya to Gatka — the Centre offers free training across the spectrum of Sikh cultural learning.
