Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is an important organization that manages the affairs of Sikh gurdwaras in India. Established in 1920, it plays a crucial role in preserving Sikh heritage, culture, and religious practices. The SGPC oversees the administration of gurdwaras, ensuring that they operate according to Sikh principles and traditions.
The SGPC is also responsible for organizing religious events, maintaining historical sites, and providing educational services. It represents the interests of the Sikh community and works to address issues affecting Sikhs both in India and globally. The committee is often seen as the "mini-parliament" for Sikhs, guiding their spiritual and social welfare.
