Sikh school
In a bid to improve and advance the education of Sikh pupils, the Gurdwara set up a brand new Sikh school - the 'Khalsa School'. This school caters for children of Sikh parents as well as other faiths. The school is located at Norwood Hall, Tentelow Lane, Southall and was purchased for £2.8 million from Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College.
Human rights
In 2012, President Sardar Himmat Singh Sohi and the executive committee dedicated the annual Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan procession on the 25 March to Bhai Balwant Singh Ji Rajoana, who was scheduled to be hanged on the 31 March 2012. As a result of this, over 200,000 Sikhs from across the UK attended the Vaisakhi procession to protest against the death penalty which was pronounced by an Indian court. A stay of execution was granted.
