He also called upon Sikh intellectuals, representatives of social and religious organisations to jointly chalk out an action plan to impart quality education based on Sikh values to children throughout the country and to establish a fund for this purpose. He was speaking during the 63rd All-India Sikh Education Conference organised by the CKD to commemorate the tercentenary celebrations of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur’s Sirhind Fateh Divas here.
