During the dharma prachar movement, the congregation is being told that free education is provided by the Shiromani Committee to poor students as well as Amritdhari students. Along with this, free residential centers have been established at Talwandi Sabo and Sri Fatehgarh Sahib for the higher education of Amritdhari Sikh girls. The Shiromani Committee arranges education, accommodation, and food here. Apart from this, medical camps are also organized from time to time in the border villages for health facilities. He said that all these facilities are for the needy and that Sangat should take advantage of them. He appealed to the congregation to be aware of the scams of the so-called Christian preachers.
