In 2018, my second year as the Chair of SikhRI’s Board, I got to participate in the transformative experience of Sidak for the first time. I witnessed the enriching atmosphere of learning, sharing, and caring, which further reinforced my belief in accessible education.

Soon after, as we reviewed SikhRI’s financials, we decided to make all our online courses free, which was a big leap in our vision of bringing Gurmat- based knowledge to the global Sikh population. With that, we’ve continued to produce new courses, which would also be available for free upon release.

SikhRI now has the mandate to reach a variety of demographics by utilizing every content delivery platform. Our podcast, The Sikh Cast, has been named one of the top 30 spiritual podcasts. As technologies evolve, SikhRI will try to keep up and leverage them to work towards our vision.

Our series of research reports State of the Panth have been mentioned in media worldwide, including BBC, and cited by Ph.D. candidates focusing on Sikhi.

All this cumulative change at SikhRI is the direct result of the SikhRI team’s dedication under the leadership of Inni Kaur. Her vision and desire has transformed the way Sikh education is taught and accessed by the people willing to learn.

Since the inception of SikhRI, what has always allowed us to remain focused on our mission were your generous contributions. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the SikhRI team, I thank every one of you for your loving support, which is all that sustains our work.

We look forward to your engagement with us via tan, man, and dhan, and in turn, aspire to meet the expectations and responsibility bestowed upon us to spread the love and enable Panth ki Jit and Sarbhat ka Bhalla.

Guru Rakha!

‍Jaswinder Singh Chadha Chair, Board of Directors
