COMMUNITY LANGAR PROGRAMME- MADHYA PRADESH AND TELANGANA During f ield visits and ongoing engagement with Sikhligar Sikh communities in Madhya Pradesh and Hyderabad rrelangana), Akaal Aid identif led a pressing need for stronger community bonding and spiritual upliftment. While these communities remain committed to preserving and practising Sikh values, the lack of regular communal engagement, coupled with economic hardship and nutritional insecurity? has been affecting their morale and ability to uphold religious practices. In response, Akaal Aid launched a weekly Langar project in May 2024 across two key locations-one in Madhya Pradesh and one in Telangana. The programme provides e55ential cooking facilities and raw food supplies to enable the community to gather every Sunday morning. Here, they collectively prepare and serve hot Meals for approximately 100 families, following a brief religious programme and simran session. This initiative has revitalised community spirit and strengthened the bond of seva and sangat, while also directly addressing basic nutritional needs in line with the Zero Hunger goal. Slnce Its Inceptlon, the Langar gatherlngs have seen steadlly Increaslng participation and are becoming a focal point of weekly community life. The success of this ongoing project has prompted plans for expansion into additional areas where Sikhligar Sikh families reside. This model not only reinforces Sikh principles of sharing and service but also ensures that economically vulnerable families have consistent access to nutritious food in a dignif led, community-led setting.

GURDWARA CONSTRUCTION PROJECT KUMTHA (ONGOING SINCE 2022) The constructlon of Gurdwara Srl Guru Teg Bahadur Sahlb JI In Guru Nanak Colony, Kumtha, entered a significant phase of completion in2023-24. Initiated in 2022 to serve the spiritual needs of hundreds of Sikligar Vanjara Sikh families in the region, this multi-year project is a landmark development for acommunity that previously lacked any nearby gurdwara or communal prayer space. During the current reporting year, several key structural and functional milestones were achieved. The maln dome of the Gurdwara Sahib was completed and installed, marking an important spiritual and architectural feature of the site. The langar hall, designed to host daily and special congregation meals, was also fully constructed, enabling regular community gatherings and service. In addition, accommodation rooms were built for Granthi Singh, allowing for permanent residency and uninterrupted spiritual duties. The site was further enhanced with the addition of modern sanitation facilities to ensure a hygienic and accessible environment for all devotees. This project remains a cornerstone of Akaal Aid's vision to build lasting religious and cultural infrastructure that not only upholds Sikh traditions but also strengthens the social and spiritual fabric of marginalised communities. Once fully operational, the Gurdwara Sahib will stand as a beacon of Sikhi, community service, and shared belonging for generations to come. Page 10
SUPPORT FOR FARMERS IN PUNJAB In 2023-24, Akaal Aid extended targeted support to farming communities in Punjab who faced severe challenges due to both natural disaster and ongoing SOCiO•economic unrest. Following the devastating floods that struck parts of the region, many small and marginal farmers lost their entire year's harvest and agricultural infrastructure. In response, Akaal Aid provided essential agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilisers, and diesel for tractors, enabling affected families to begin re-cultivation and restore their livelihoods. In one particularly tragic case, a farming family's home was completely destroyed by floodwaters; Akaal Aid undertook the full reconstruction of their house to ensure they could return to safe and stable living conditions. In addition to flood relief, the charity also supported farmers participating In long-standing protests for their rights during the harsh Indian summer. Recognising the strain of such prolonged demonstrations, Akaal Aid set up on-ground medical camps at the protest sites to provide free healthcare and first aid services to farmers in need many of whom lacked access to baslc medlcal care. All these Inltlatlves reflect our unwavering dedication to supporting the backbone of rural Punjab and ensuring that those who feed the natlon are not left behlnd In tlmes of crlsls. . #DICAL CAMP 14bW AII) IL Pa e 11
INSTALLATION OF BOREWELLS IN MADHYA PRADESH Building on our previous year's success in addressing water insecurity, Akaal Aid continued its focus on water accessibility in 2023-24 with the installation of two new borewells in rural areas of Madhya Pradesh. These projects follow the six borewells constructed the year before in drought-affected regions, which provided consistent and clean water access to over 5,000 people. As with previous installations, the new borewells have significantly reduced the daily burden on women and children, who otherwise travel long distances to fetch water, and have led to notable improvements In hygiene, sanitation, and overall community health. Akaal Ald's borewell programme has been Implemented wlth careful slte selectlon, technlcal plannlng, and In coordlnatlon wlth local leaders to ensure sustalnable usage. Each borewell was strateglcally located to beneflt the maxlmum number of familles, and measures have been taken to encourage responsible water use at the community level. These Interventions form part of our wider commitment to long-term rural development and provlde a vltal, Ilfe•changlng resource for communltles that are most affected by water scarclty. Pa e12
MARRIAGE SUPPORT FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED FAMILIES Continulng Its dedicated efforts to ease soclo-economic pressures on marglnallsed communities, Akaal Aid supported the marriage arrangements of 31 young women during the year 2023-24. These weddings took place across Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana, beneflttlng famllles from low-lncome and Slkllgar backgrounds, where the financial burden of traditional ceremonies can be overwhelmlng and, at times, prohlbltlve. *fvi 'ri Thls year's programme follows the successful facilitation of 30 weddings in 2022-23, maintaining our commitment to enabling families to honour cultural and religious customs without falling into debt. As with previous years, each marriage was arranged with care, dignity. and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the brides and their families could celebrate these important life events respectfully and without undue hardship. By covering key expenses and providing logistical as- sistance, Akaal Aid helped families uphold tradition while protecting their financial security. These marriage support projects not only bring relief to individual households but also stand as a testament to collective compassion and shared responsibility within the wider community. Page 13
Livelihood Support Through Tailoring and Skilled Trade Equipment Building on our focused efforts f rom 2022-23 to promote economic stability among women through vocational support, Akaal Aid expanded its employment initiatives in 202>24 to include male benef iciaries as well. This year, we distributed 50 sewing machines to women f rom underprivileged and Sikligar backgrounds, enabling them to pursue tailoring work either f rom home or within local marketplaces. This initiative, which last year supported 40 women, continues to help recipients build lifelong skills while generating reliable source of income to support their households. Recognising the similar econornic challenges faced by unemployed men in marginalised communities, Akaal Aid also introduced a parallel initiative by distributing 40 welding machines. These tools have enabled male recipients to begin skilled trade work-either independently or in local industry allowing them to earn a livelihood and contribute meaningfully to their families, f Inanclal wellbelng. Together, these efforts posltively impacted nearly 90 families, and reaff irm our commitment to inclusive, skill-based development as a pathway toward long-term self-reliance. All) l Ala21 Pa e14
