The Founder

 

Baba Virsa Singh Ji Maharaj, revered founder of Gobind Sadan taught that education and development of inner strength are the best ways to help people rise above poverty. He was a great spiritual teacher who encouraged appreciation of the prophets and scriptures of all religions.

Baba Virsa Singh left for his heavenly abode in 2007, but his programme continues. Baba Virsa Singh Ji Maharaj Primary School was created by devotees in his memory, to help carry on his nonsectarian charitable mission.

School Structure

Baba Virsa Singh Ji Maharaj Primary School is being run by the Guru Gobind Singh Educational Education, a registered charitable organization with income tax exemption, under the aegis of Baba Virsa Singh ji Maharaj Memorial Trust.

There are eight qualified teachers for grades pre-nursery through fifth. Students are taught according to CBSE English curriculum. The study body in 2023 numbered 168 students from Gobind Sadan and surrounding areas. All students are provided with books, uniforms and jerseys.
