Chief Khalsa Diwan is a premier Sikh educational and socio-religious institution which is held in high esteem all over the world for its humanitarian and dedicated service.
The establishment of Chief Khalsa Diwan on 30 October 1902 bears testimony to the dreams of some committed stalwarts of the Guru Khalsa Panth.
