Bhagat Puran
Singh (Persons)
PINGALWARA has been serving mankind at Amritsar since 1947 (started
by Bhagat Puran Singh Ji). Pingalwara literally means a home for
the crippled. Today, it houses hundreds of inmates suffering from
variegated diseases. Large part of these is of women who are insane
and psychic due to harassment from family or society. The patients
are kept in neat and clean wards and are attended upon by skilled
and efficient nurses and doctors. Pingalwara serves mankind without
discrimination of creed, color, community, etc.
Pingalwara is being run on the charity from all who harbour passion
for the wellbeing of humanity, But doubtlessly, the greatest contribution
to this pious purpose is from the Sikh community. What may be
more interestion is that beneficiaries at the Pingalwara are largely
non-Sikhs.
