WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

I see Punjab Youth Leaders Program as an exceptional platform for anyone who wants to contribute towards sustainable development of Punjab. The state, as we see it today, suffers from a number of problems and it’s imperative that the youth take charge and work towards building a better future. I am really excited to see how it is shaping.
Sukhmanjot Singh
Azim Premji University
A good quality education is what sets the foundation for the development of a society. I’m glad that I got to witness Sanjhi Sikhiya’s work towards this goal very closely on the ground. Their work in government schools is providing equal opportunities to the most disadvantaged in Punjab. I would recommend anyone to come and join this mission and create a strong developmental ecosystem for Punjab.
Lavanya Shrinagesh

I am amazed at the speed with which Sanjhi Sikhiya is moving towards its mission of transforming Punjab. Bringing about a systemic change in education through high potential youth is something that hugely interests us. At Genpact, we have always believed in supporting initiatives that are bold, have the capacity to have a huge impact and are driven by a team with exceptional execution capabilities. We are grateful to be supporting this endeavor since the beginning and will continue to do so.
Sukhvinder Singh
Head Teacher
I was happy when I got to know that there is a non-profit that is working on improving quality of education in my cluster. In the first meeting itself, I got to learn quite a few new things from Sanjhi Sikhiya team members and was glad to know that they want to bring back the lost glory to Punjab. I think this is very important work because the world might think Punjab is rich but it has actually got no substance left. The thing I like the most about them is that they make you find your own solutions rather than relying on external support.
Sanjay Purohit

The team behind Sanjhi Sikhiya Foundation is a highly committed one and they have a proven track record. I am amazed at the kind of support they have been able to mobilize for their homeland, Punjab, from all across the world in such a short amount of time. We all know education has a lasting impact on society and I’m quite confident that their program on the ground will be able to cause a significant dent in the public education system of Punjab.
