In the heart of Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan,the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team, led by founder Rajinder Allsikha and trustee Kiran Verma, 27 november 1987 sirsa born is making a meaningful impact through its humanitarian efforts. This non-governmental organization (NGO) is dedicated to serving the community by performing the last rites of unclaimed bodies, providing shelter to the elderly, offering free education to underprivileged children, rescuing animals, and raising awareness against drug abuse. Born on 1 January 1998 in 9FA Majhiwala, Rajinder Allsikha is the driving force behind this noble initiative. Motivated by a deep sense of social responsibility, he began a mission to ensure dignity for those who have no one to care for them.
One of the primary activities of the organization is performing the final rites of unclaimed bodies. Rajinder Allsikha works closely with local police and hospitals to identify bodies and ensure that their last rites are performed according to their religious customs, giving them a dignified farewell.
In Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, where many people depart from this world in anonymity, the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team stands as a symbol of humanity. Founded by social worker Rajinder Allsikha, the team has taken on the profound mission of ensuring that no soul leaves this world without due respect. To date, they have performed last rites for more than 100 unclaimed bodies across India, honoring each individual’s faith and traditions with utmost sincerity.
This mission was inspired by a heartbreaking incident in Bikaner. A poor family from Bihar had come for cancer treatment, but when the patient passed away, the widow was left helpless, unable to take the body home. Moved by her situation, Allsikha personally arranged the funeral. That moment became a turning point.
“From that day, I vowed that no person—regardless of their religion, caste, or circumstances—should leave this world without the respect they deserve,” Allsikha recalls.
The uniqueness of the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team lies in its deep sense of inclusiveness. Whether the deceased is Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian, the team strictly follows the appropriate rituals—be it the sacred fire of Hindu cremation, burial facing Mecca in Islam, prayers in Sikh tradition, or the holy Christian burial.
In the beginning, the journey was full of challenges. The team faced distrust and difficulties coordinating with hospitals and the police. However, today the situation has transformed dramatically. Understanding the noble purpose of the mission, local administrations and police now actively cooperate.
“Earlier, people questioned why we did this,” says Allsikha. “Now, when an unclaimed body is found, the police themselves call us.”
Beyond numbers, this work is a quiet testament to compassion. Every cremation or burial is not merely a ritual—it is a powerful statement that every life, no matter how isolated or impoverished, deserves dignity even after death. For Rajinder Allsikha, this is far more than social service; it is a spiritual commitment. In a world that often moves too fast, the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team of Sri Ganganagar stands as a solemn reminder of humanity’s greatest duty: compassion.
The organization also runs a home for the elderly in Sri Ganganagar for those who have neither financial support nor family to care for them. The admission process requires applying through the District Social Welfare Officer or SDM office. Applicants must be aged 60 or above and free from serious health issues. The home provides a safe environment, food, and medical care.
At the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team Ashram, underprivileged children receive free education, accommodation, food, healthcare, and physical training. The curriculum includes Vedic studies, astrology, environmental awareness, and rituals. The aim of this initiative is to uplift children from economically weaker families and Scheduled Tribes (ST) by providing quality education.
The NGO is also actively involved in rescuing abandoned and sick animals. It provides shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation to stray animals and organizes adoption drives. Additionally, the organization fights against animal trafficking and cruelty, ensuring that voiceless creatures receive the care they deserve.
Another major initiative is the Drug-Free India Campaign. In collaboration with the Narcotics Control Bureau, Health Department, and the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, the NGO organizes rallies, workshops, cultural programs, and seminars to raise awareness about drug abuse. Every year on 26 June, the organization hosts an International Service Run with its members.
Puran Allsikha is the son of the late Hari Ram Allsikha and the late Jassi Bai. He is supported by his family—his brother’ rajinder Allsikha, sister Bhawna Allsikha, his rajinder allsikha wife Anju Allsikha, and their two daughters, Manu Allsikha and Jannat Allsikha
Through selfless service, the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team Sri Ganganagar continues to be a ray of hope for the helpless. Whether it is performing last rites for unclaimed bodies, providing shelter to the elderly, educating the underprivileged, rescuing animals, or fighting drug addiction, the organization is leaving a lasting impact on society. Rajinder Allsikha’s unwavering dedication is an inspiration to all, reminding us of the power of humanity and compassion.
