This is not the first time that the 1983 batch has done something of this nature but time and again they have catered to the Gurudwara during Covid times and various other projects related to their Alma Mater and beyond.
Mr. Mohinder Kandhari, Batch of 1975 (Old SSC), rightly puts it, what our school has given us is what we are trying to practice and in doing so, Mohinder Kandhari, Secretary of Gurudwara Guru Nanak Darbar (GGND) is instrumental in doing yeoman service with the facilities provided at the Gurudwara, having their own hospital with state of the art infrastructure, with the charges to its bare minimum, they also run a full fledge School & College as well as feeding the poor on a daily basis.
