Inspired by the Sikh principle of giving one-tenth, fostering collective support for education and other possible sevas.
DASVANDH or Dasaundh, is a tenth part, refers to the practice among Sikhs of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth of their earnings towards the common sources of the community. This is their religious obligation – a form of seva or humble service so highly valued in the Sikh system.” The concept of dasvandh was implicit in Guru Nanak’s own line: “ghali khai kichhu hathh dei, Nänak rahu pachhäṇahi sei”.Sikhs are commanded to engage in labor and distribute their earnings, as it is natural to do so. By following this principle, pride does not arise in the mind of the giver, and the receiver does not feel inferior. This unique experience of creating equality in society is the result of Guru Sahib’s vision of socialism.While Sikhs spend generously on charity and adornment, there seems to be a reluctance to extend a helping hand to fellow Sikhs who are deserving and in need of assistance,
