The University has taken these steps to spread awareness among the youth and to arrest the slide towards becoming lapsed Sikhs. The university authorities added that children need to be reminded of the symbols of their culture and their rich culture, heritage and history and public gatherings like these should be positively used for spreading awareness”, the statement reads.
