In a significant development for Lucknow's Sikh community, Harpal Singh Jaggi was once again unanimously chosen to lead the Gurdwara Sadar Prabandhak Committee. This election, held during the general body meeting on Tuesday, marks the fifth time Jaggi has been entrusted with the presidential role.
Unanimous Leadership Mandate
The meeting saw a clear consensus, with Harpal Singh Jaggi receiving unanimous support for the president's position. Similarly, Tejpal Singh Romi was appointed as the general secretary of the committee without any opposition. The electoral process was conducted under the supervision of two respected figures: Sardar Kuldeep Singh Kohli and Sardar Inder Singh.
Jaggi brings a wealth of experience to this role, as he also currently serves as the officiating president of the Lucknow Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee. Furthermore, he holds the position of president at the All India Sikh Punjabi Welfare council. His past contributions include serving as the vice-president of the UP Punjabi Akademi, highlighting his long-standing commitment to community and cultural service.
A Legacy of Development and Service
The Sadar Gurdwara has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years under the stewardship of its committee. Major infrastructural and service-oriented projects have been successfully implemented, significantly benefiting the local populace.
Key developments include extensive renovation work, new construction projects, and the establishment of the state-of-the-art Gur Hari Rai Diagnostic Centre. This healthcare facility is equipped with modern amenities such as:
- Automated pathology services
- Digital X-ray machines
- ECG facilities
- A dedicated physiotherapy centre
Beyond healthcare, the committee has actively organized free health camps for the community. It has also launched impactful educational initiatives, including civil services coaching programs that provide free books to aspirants, empowering youth in their career pursuits.
Future Plans for Community Welfare
Following his re-election, President Harpal Singh Jaggi announced ambitious plans to further expand the gurdwara's community services. A key upcoming initiative is the introduction of ultrasound facilities at the diagnostic centre, aiming to make this essential medical service accessible to the public soon.
This continuous focus on holistic development—spanning spiritual, health, and educational domains—underscores the committee's mission to serve as a pillar of support for Lucknow's Sikh community and residents at large. The unanimous re-election of Jaggi signals the community's approval of the ongoing development trajectory and its trust in his leadership for the term ahead.
