    Besides the functions mentioned above the Trust will take up numerous other socio-cultural activities to enrich our heritage according to our traditions .

    The very brief mention of the activities of the Trust are as under :

    The Trust publishes the high quality character building and soul uplifting literature written by Dr. Sarup Singh Alag and donated to the Trust for publication and free distribtion. It is sort of 'langar' of pious words basing on the spirit of Gurbani and the lives of Sikh Gurus. As food is free in Sikh Gurdwaras and it satiates the hunger of body, this 'shabad langar' is also free which provides food to soul.By now the Trust has published forty two valuable publications on different aspects. The books are lauded so much that some of them have been published more than fifty times in a very short spell. The book 'Harimander Darshan' which was purposely written to highlight the quat centenary of the creation of the Harminder Sahib(2001) has seen fifty one deluxe editions in Punjabi, Hindi and English in a span of about two years and has changed the outlook of the readers about Harminder Sahib altogether.

    Besides the activities of the Trust mentioned above, the Trust fulfils its other obligations by helping the needies, by honouring those personalities which have contributed with their might and calibre dedicatedly to make the world more lovely and lively place to live in. With the availability of more funds these activities would be made more broad based. Much in this respect is required to be done.
