The students selected after Gurmat Competitions are sent to USA/Canada/Hong Kong at the request of Sikh Sangat residing in these countries. Students give program in Kirtan/ Kavishery, Kavita in Gurdwaras in these countries and propagate our program of gurmat teaching. These programs encourage the students to learn gurmat with great interest as it provides them the opportunity to go abroad and to other Indian states.
