The two wings of the Sikh Students Federation have united, with Major Singh Khalsa named chief organizer of the merged body.
Amritsar – The Sikh Students Federation, a prominent student organization in Punjab, announced the formal merger of its two previously separate factions. The unification was confirmed in a brief statement released by the federation's leadership, indicating a move to consolidate resources and present a unified front on campus issues.
Major Singh Khalsa, a veteran activist within the federation, has been appointed as the chief organizer of the newly merged entity. In his new role, Khalsa is expected to coordinate activities across the federation's branches and oversee outreach programs aimed at student welfare and cultural preservation.
The merger is seen as a strategic step to strengthen the federation’s influence in educational institutions across the state, especially ahead of upcoming student elections and policy debates. No further details on the internal restructuring or future initiatives were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
Stakeholders, including university administrators and local community leaders, have welcomed the development, noting that a single, cohesive student body could facilitate more effective dialogue with authorities.
The federation plans to hold a series of meetings in the coming weeks to outline its agenda and operational framework under Khalsa’s leadership.
