On Saturday, 07 March 2026, the Pingalwara organization reunited two destitute patients with their families after providing them with proper treatment.
The Pingalwara institution has once again presented an inspiring example of service to humanity. The first patient, Shafi Ahmad, son of Jamrul Hasan, resident of Village Kazi Behra, District Darbhanga, Bihar, was admitted to Pingalwara on 19 January 2026 in a destitute condition. The institution took complete care of him and provided necessary medical treatment. During the course of treatment, the patient gradually began to reveal his identity and mentioned that he belonged to Darbhanga city in Bihar. Following this, the Pingalwara organization contacted the village Sarpanch and local residents to confirm his identity. His photo and video were shared to help establish identification. After confirmation, the patient’s brother M.D. Sohail and some villagers arrived at the Pingalwara institution and took him back home.
The family informed that Shafi Ahmad had been missing from home for nearly 15 years. After such a long time, the reunion of their loved one created an emotional and joyful atmosphere in the family. The family members expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Pingalwara organization for this noble service.
The second patient, Premka Chopra (40 years old), was admitted in a destitute condition to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsar, through a 108 ambulance on 26 December 2025. Later, she was admitted to the Bhagat Puran Singh Ward of the Pingalwara institution. As her mental condition was not stable, she was treated at the Amritsar Mental Hospital. During treatment, the patient revealed her father’s name as Raj Kumar, resident of Shimlapuri, Ludhiana, and also provided his mobile number. The institution immediately contacted her family.
The family stated that their daughter had been missing from home for the past three months, and she was also undergoing treatment for a mental health condition. They further mentioned that she had previously left home several times but usually returned within a day or two. However, when she did not return for a long time on this occasion, the family had lodged a report at the local police station.
Today, the institution handed over both patients to their families after providing them with three months’ supply of medicines. The family members thanked the Pingalwara organization for taking care of the patients and reuniting them with their families.
On this occasion, Dr. Inderjit Kaur, Mukh Sewadar of Pingalwara, stated that the Pingalwara institution has been continuously working for the service of humanity for several decades. She said that destitute, helpless, sick, and mentally ill patients who come to Pingalwara are cared for with full dedication and compassion. Every Sewadar in the institution serves patients with the spirit that service to humanity is service to God.
Dr. Inderjit Kaur further explained that many patients admitted to Pingalwara have been separated from their families for many years. Along with providing treatment, the institution continuously makes efforts to identify them and reconnect them with their families. Reuniting a patient with their family is the greatest moment of happiness for the Pingalwara family.
She also stated that, like every year, around 200 patients have been treated and reunited with their families in different states this year as well. This is one of the most important aspects of Pingalwara’s service, through which separated families are brought together again.
She further said that the inspiration for serving humanity given by Bhagat Puran Singh Ji, the founder of Pingalwara, continues to guide them on the path of service even today. The main objective of the institution is to serve helpless humanity, provide shelter to the sick and needy, and help them live a life with dignity.
On this occasion, Administrator Yogesh Suri, Gulshan Ranjan (Medical Social Worker), Surjit Kaur, and other Sewadars were also present.
