About Surat

“Living in an era in which the pace of life seems to increase daily, it is not often that we get a chance to delve deep into our conscience, take some time for introspection, and formulate an understanding of our value system. The Surat Sikh Conference aims to provide a meaningful learning experience for all participants, infuse motivation, and create a forum through which friendship and support can flourish”

About Jakara Movement

Founded in 2000, the Jakara Movement began as a collegiate conference, but has evolved into an institution for the recruitment and training of volunteers and a hub for the Sikh youth. With a focus on the interstices of education, health, gender, and social justice, the Jakara Movement inclusively engages large sections of the Sikh youth in various projects to strengthen their identity and consciousness as Sikhs, foster education through service-learning, and inspire activism and volunteerism within the greater Qaum.
