Sikligar Sikhs: Our Journey Together

Sikligar Sikhs: Often comparable to nomads, they roam and live in hutments because of their work nature. They possess skills for labor jobs but struggle with educating their children due to their nomadic lifestyle.
Objective: Nishkam’s aim is to settle the Sikligar Sikhs and uplift them through welfare initiatives, focusing on both settlement and education.

For over two decades, Nishkam has been at the forefront of championing the rights and welfare of Sikligar Sikhs. Our initiatives, spanning across housing and education, have touched lives in six diverse states in India, including Haryana, Karnataka, Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh.

Significant improvements have been observed in poverty reduction and enhancement of social and infrastructural facilities both in rural and urban areas.

Education Support

We’ve ardently supported educational aspirations across six states in India. The plight of Sikligar Sikhs, skilled laborers who face challenges in educating their children due to their migratory lifestyles, has been at the heart of our mission.

Crafting Hopes

Since 2003, over 4,664 Sikligar students have been reached, with 41+ finding jobs. The transformation journey has been from slums to corporates in regions like Karnataka, Punjab, and Maharashtra.
