MGN PUBLIC SCHOOL - Jalandhar

About MGN

In 1873, the Singh Sabha Movement was established with the aim of achieving a moral, spiritual and educational reawakening of the Sikh people. The basic aim of the founders of the Singh Sabha Movement was to impart the knowledge of the glorious heritage of the Sikh faith and its traditions to the younger generations. The movement sought to inspire the young with high moral standards of conduct so that they could become the best models of the community. The leaders were determined to alert the Sikh people to the corruption of Sikh values and practices. With these ideals and goals, Guru Singh Sabha Montgomery was founded in 1928 and Sardar Hukam Singh, Founder of our Trust, assumed the charge of Manager Khalsa High School for Boys. Sardar Gian Singh Rai, another practicing lawyer and Sardar Gobind Singh Pasricha, a close associate of S Hukam Singh, joined Sardar Hukam Singh in the achievement of ideals and goals of his mission. Initially the school functioned from the premises of Gurdwara in Montgomery, and later moved to a rented house.

 Sardar Hukam Singh was elected member of SGPC at the first election held under the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925 and continued to be elected successively for many years. Sardar Hukam Singh again assumed the charge of manager Khalsa High School in 1941, 1943-45.He was the President of Sri Guru Singh Sabha at the time of partition and was evacuated safely to Jalandhar.

After partition, Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Montgomery, was established at Jalandhar in 1947 with S Hukam Singh, S Gian Singh Rai and S Gobind Singh Pasricha as its founding members. It initially commenced its functioning with the opening of schools for girls and boys from the premises of gurdawara at adda Hoshiarpur and then moved to their locations at Basti Bawa Khel for boys and Purani Kachheri, adda hoshiarpur for girls on allotment of evacuee properties. Thereafter on allotment of land on long lease by Jalandhar Improvement Trust at Adarsh Nagar, Jalandhar, Basic Training School for girls was opened.

Sri Guru Singh Sabha was dissolved in 1974 and MGN Educational Trust was constituted with S Hukam Singh as Chairman and S Gian Singh Rai as vice Chairman and S Charanjit Singh Pasricha as Secretary, inheriting all the assets of Singh Sabha. And, along with a public school to impart quality global modern education was also opened on the premises of Basic Training School at Adarsh Nagar, Jalandhar.

This is odyssey from Singh Sabha movement to educational hub of global modern education in the service of nation.

Under the aegis of MGN Educational Trust, there are 3 Public schools and 3 government aided high schools and 2 colleges of education at Jalandhar and Kapurthala transforming youth into enlightened citizens.
