The author of the world’s first Encyclopaedia of Sikhism and Producer–Director of Multimedia Sikh Museum Dr. Raghbir Singh Bains has been honoured with an appreciation award by the Ontario Khalsa Darbar and Khalsa School Mississauga for his volunteer services provided to the global society. The honour was bestowed upon him by Harinder Singh Takhar Honourable Minister for Government Services of Ontario Province during the closing ceremony of the Youth Gurmat Camp.

Dr. Bains had gone to Mississauga to address the Youth Gurmat Camp where 200 young boys and girls were getting a two week training to learn more about the Sikh way of life, Sikh philosophy, history, culture and Sikh heritage.  The diaspora organizers also held workshops and classes in a number of subjects including mathematics and science.

Honourable Minister of Government Services Harinder Singh Takhar, Amrit Kaur Mangat Member of Provincial Parliament and Dr Raghbir Singh Bains inaugurated the high Tech “Guru Angad Dev Computer Lab” established by Khalsa School of OKD with donations of Balwinder Singh Lopo for new generation where computer education is to be imparted free of charge so that youth have an edge over the fast changing technology in the world.

During his congregational address at the mega event, Dr Bains applauded the efforts of the organizers and mesmerized the young participants to contribute to the global peace, prosperity and wellbeing of the entire human race to make this universe a better haven to live. He further appealed Ontario Khalsa Darbar Committee to make arrangements to open a high profile school to impart top notch education so that the youth successfully work towards a successful democratic episode in our history. The participating students and campers took a pledge not to use drugs.

Jasjit Singh Bhullar President of OKD and Satpal Singh Principal appreciated the worldwide volunteer services of Dr Bains for creating awareness on the social evils like the menace of drugs, female foeticide, domestic violence, and HIV-AIDS.
