Shromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is an important organization in India that manages Sikh gurdwaras (places of worship) and oversees religious and cultural activities for the Sikh community. Established in 1920, the SGPC plays a key role in preserving Sikh heritage, providing religious leadership, and ensuring the proper functioning of gurdwaras. It collaborates with government bodies and addresses various social issues affecting Sikhs. The SGPC is often referred to as the "mini-parliament" of Sikhs, as it represents their collective voice and interests in matters concerning their faith and community welfare.
