Bedi Foundation was the brain child of Late Baba Pritpal Singh Bedi, an ardent believer of Oneness, a binding force for the togetherness of the Quilewale Family, and the one who was deeply attached to Dera Baba Nanak (DBN). He settled the trust with all the grand children of Late Baba Ram Singh Bedi as the Trustees and the Quilewale family as the members.
Dera Baba Nanak as a town was settled by the grandson of Guru Nanak - Baba Dharam Chand, the 3rd generation Bedi. The town thereafter was inhabited by the descendants of the great Guru. Western part of the town was inhabited by Manakchandias and the Eastern Part by the Meherchandia line of Bedis.
In Mehandchandia line fall the Quilewale Bedis of Baba Mulkhraj Mohalla, who stayed on in DBN till the 14th generation of the Guru. Being the land of their ancestors, the Trustees decided to focus their projects in DBN.
All our past, present and future philanthropic and charitable projects have been implemented from this space of Oneness, primarily in Dera Baba Nanak and the villages around it. In addition to it, the Foundation has also been actively invloved in charity projects in Delhi and other states of India.
Owning lineage to Guru Nanak, the Foundation’s intention was to follow the Guru’s ethos, his teachings of Oneness. The very first word of Mool Mantar ‘ek’, Oneness, is the Mool, the root of his teachings and that is what needs to be understood, to be spread, and to be served. This thus became our mission to embark upon.
The project most closest to our heart has been the upliftment of girl child education which we have rendered by providing support for supplementing education effort, motivating the achiever’s and helping the needy students of Govt. Girls Senior Secondary Smart School (GGSSSS), Dera Baba Nanak. This school comprises of 700 students and is from Grade 6 to Grade 12. Herein we owe gratitude to the Department of Education, Punjab Government and the Principals of this school for enabling us in our efforts.
Guru Nanak's message of spreading Oneness teaches us that every individual, irrespective of their identity, deserves equal access to knowledge and enlightenment, and that is the reason we empower the girls studying in this school, by giving them resources which they can use to reach greater heights and fulfil their dreams.
Besides embarking in the field of education, Bedi Foundation has also been actively involved in many other charitable projects. The details of all these projects are mentioned below under 3 categories:
