The two-year Sikh Missionary Correspondence Course launched by Sikh Missionary College, Ludhiana is gaining strong interest among Sikh youth and learners worldwide. Chairman Harjit Singh has appealed to Sikh youth to learn about Sikh religion, history, and Gurmat philosophy and contribute to the propagation of Sikh teachings.

Ludhiana, Punjab, India — The Sikh Missionary Correspondence Course, an educational initiative of Sikh Missionary College, Ludhiana, is gaining increasing popularity among Sikh youth and learners across India and abroad who wish to deepen their understanding of Sikh religion, Sikh history, and Gurmat philosophy.

The two-year correspondence course has been designed especially for Gursikhs who cannot attend regular classroom-based missionary classes due to distance, professional commitments, or other personal reasons. Through this structured learning program, students can study Sikh teachings from their homes while continuing their daily responsibilities.

The course enables learners not only to gain knowledge but also to serve the Panth by inspiring others to follow the teachings and path shown by the Sikh Gurus.

Harjit Singh, Chairman of Sikh Missionary College, has appealed to Sikh youth across the world to take advantage of this opportunity and actively study Sikh religion.

“It is extremely important for Sikh youth to understand the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, Sikh history, and Gurmat philosophy. Through the Sikh Missionary Correspondence Course, young Sikhs can strengthen their knowledge of Sikhism and contribute to the propagation of Sikh values in society,” he said.

He further encouraged Sikh brothers and sisters living in distant locations to enroll in the course and take part in the mission of spreading the message of the Gurus.

Community leaders and well-wishers of the Panth have also urged Sikh youth and learners to join the course in order to acquire knowledge of Sikh religion, Sikh history, and Sikh culture, and to participate in religious preaching and educational activities.

About Sikh Missionary College

Sikh Missionary College was established on May 30, 1980 in New Delhi by dedicated Gursikhs from Delhi and Punjab with the objective of promoting and propagating Sikh religion.

A Supreme Council of nine founder members was formed to guide the organization. S. Harbhajan Singh of Ludhiana was appointed as the first President, and the headquarters of the organization was established in Ludhiana, Punjab.

Although the institution was newly formed at that time, the founding members had already spent 15 to 20 years studying and promoting Sikhism, which helped the organization quickly establish itself as a leading institution for Sikh religious education.

Today the organization operates:

A central headquarters in Ludhiana

Sub-offices in Delhi, Chandigarh, and Jammu

Around 450 study circles in India and other countries

These study circles actively participate in spreading the teachings of the Sikh Gurus.

The organization has remained independent of political activities, focusing solely on the propagation of Sikh religion, education, and Gurmat values.
