They collected a sum of Rs.8400 through “Larriwaar Kirtans” and started a charitable dispensary in the name of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib. The then Chief Minister of Punjab, Giani Zail Singh allotted 4000 square yards of land for building a hospital and Sh. Dev Raj Urs, the then Chief Minister of Karnataka donated a generous amount for expanding the dispensary into a hospital, which now proudly stands as Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib (C ) Hospital.

With the dedicated and determined efforts the society’s Founder President Bakshi Mohinder Singh and executive members of the managing committee, the dispensary segued into a general hospital with all the clinical specialties.
