IGS strives for a spiritually awakened, educationally progressive: socially Gurmat oriented and politically united Khalsa Panth.
Undeterred by the enormous challenges to the Sikh Community, both from within and outside, IGS stands firmly committed to continue to do its part in rekindling the Sikh Spirit in every heart.
IGS aims to team up with other like-minded Sikh Organizations to work towards bringing the pristine Khalsa Glory back to The Khalsa Panth.
IGS Firsts: IGS has pioneered the Sikh Youth Camping Movement at the International level for the past 35 years.
It is also the first Sikh organization to hold co-ed camps for Sikh youngsters
.Over the years, IGS has popularized singing of Gurbani amongst Sikh youth and taught Shabad Kirtan to hundreds of them. Several IGS Kirtani Jathas made up of young professionals have dedicated their time in spreading the Guru's message through melodious Shabad Kirtan lovingly rendered in various countries. IGS Kirtan performances have deeply touched the hearts of world's Sadh Sangats.
