To provide help to families which lost their earning
member during the November 1984 Carnage and who have
not been able to come u in their life even after 22
years of long struggle and who have not been able
to attain the status which they were enjoying in 1984.
The education and studies of children of these families
have suffered a serious set back due to the immense
mental suffering and trauma after 1984 carnage. As
a result, they have not been able to pursue their
education or do well in their lives. Most of them
wish that at least their next generation studies in
good schools and receives the best education possible.
However, they have no means and cannot afford to pay
the fees of good schools. At the initiative of Sardar
Patwant Singh, eminent wirter, Gyan Sewa Trust has
started a project of giving scholarship to the children,
who are serious about their studies and wish to pursue
professional courses. The Trust plans to support these
children by providing them with good education and
coaching so as to help them pursue their goals.

member in November, 1984 carnage and those who are

Sponsorship Plan :
Individuals / families who are interested in sponsoring
the children shall be allotted one child / student.
Complete details and background of the student and
his family shall be furnished to the sponsor. The

An Example:
I want to attain the status, which my grandparents
enjoyed in 1984, when they were killed during the
November 1984 anti-Sikh carnage. My grandfather, grandmother,
uncle and grandfather’s brother, all four adult
members of the family were brutally killed on 1.11.1984.
My grandfather had a small factory in Anand Parbhat,
Karol Bagh and had his own house in East Delhi. My
mother, who was only 12 years of age at that time,
was the eldest of the survivors in the family. At
the age of 12 years, she had to play the role of a
mother to her three younger sisters. She brought them
up and married them. As a result of the trauma and
sufferings, my mother had two heart attacks at the
age of 34 years.
I want to study and accomplish a good academic record
and attain the same status, which my family would
have enjoyed if my grandparents were not killed. After
all, what was their fault, it was just that they were
Sikhs.
Gyan Sewa Trust is helping me in fulfilling my dream.
Gyan Sewa Trust has admitted me to a public school
and has given me scholarship to pay the fees.
