"Every youth of India has the right to get education in order to become a self-sufficient and self-dependent member of the society and thus being a good citizen may serve his country. But the 'Ghost of dearness' has snatched all such opportunities from the hands of youth not only in India alone, but also all over the world. Higher Education has become beyond reach of the middle-class. The phantom of illiteracy is standing before the masses with open mouth ready to gulp it down. My heart bleeds. I am very much disturbed to see such things in my native country. For improving such conditions, I, alongwith other NRI followers of Bhagat Gurditta Ji, have formed a worldwide charity/a non-profit organization, Bhagat Gurditta World Educational Charitable Society Barnala and have got it registered. This society will work in this field to make the youth continue his studies by giving him not only moral but financial aid also. I strongly believe that education is freedom while illiteracy is slavery. We pledge to root it out from our motherland."

The above words, are the excerpt from the views of Sukhdev Singh Dharamsaut, a leading Indian buisnessman in USA, who is one of the franchisee owners of 7-Eleven Inc.

Bhai Kanahiaya, Bhagat Puran Singh, Mother Teressa are some of the greatest humanitarian personalities from whom he gets inspiration. Bhagat Gurditta Ji has become his model in life. All thse dignitaries have collectively made him what he is at present. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Eleventh Guru of the Sikhs shows him the right Path and inspires him to do right things at right time.   

Now, Sukhdev Singh Dharamsaut has found an opportunity to help the down-trodden through the podium of this newly-born society which has come into existence on 1st September, 2004, the day of 400th Parkash Utsav celebrations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Harmandir Sahib Amritsar.    Sukhdev Singh Dharamsaut and his father Gurnam Singh Rasila have been helping the needy people with food, water, shelter, clothing and medical assistance in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, U.P. and other neighboring states of India for more than last 50 years under the supervision of Saint Baba Karam Chand Ji of Village Pharwahi, Punjab.
