Objectives
The endeavour is to instil pride and enthusiasm in the present day youth - a youth
morbidly impressed by the wrong influences, drawn to drugs and wallowing in mediocrity.
A multipronged strategy has been adopted by the foundation to foster excellence:
- Establish an academy staffed
by Nihangs to impart training in gurbani santhya, horsemanship and shastar vidya
(martial arts).
- Train in Olympic disciplines
of equestrian and fencing so the trainees may compete at national and international
levels thereby opening new vistas for them.
- Organize traveling photo exhibitions
documenting the rich Punjabi heritage. Competitions in kavishri (poetry), horsemanship
and shastar vidya will be planned in villages all over Punjab. Efforts are on to
document, preserve and share elements of the Punjab that define its remarkable people.
- Conduct leadership building
camps at schools and colleges so the younger generation is exposed to the vibrant
culture and heritage of Punjab.
- Provide opportunity for education
and progress to Nihangs, Sikligars and other marginalized segments of society.
- Master the use of multimedia
to connect with our youth. Excellent locations and handsome gursikh models would
be shortlisted for movies, documentaries and music videos so Sikhs are presented
in the right light.
Foundation
Sava Lakh defines the true essence of the Sikh’s pioneering spirit. The Tenth Master,
Guru Gobind Singh, infused the warrior’s resilience in a suppressed community enshrining
a moral code that inspires and enthralls. Sava Lakh is a beautiful thought, a sublime
philosophy affirming, “One man can make a difference.�
Sava Lakh also serves as an acronym for the essentials of the Sikh creed:

Shastar Vidya |

Every Sikh should be trained in the art of self defense. |

All men are born equal
Charity (Dasvandh) - an all-encompassing virtue. |

Kirt Karo (Dignity of labour)
Naam Japo (Meditation and Introspection). |
