In the border town of Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, where the Thar Desert meets human
resilience, one organization has been quietly rewriting what compassion truly means. The
Bhagat Singh Rescue Team, founded by Founder Rajinder Allsikha and Trusty Kiran Verma,
is not a typical NGO. It is a movement built on the belief that every life deserves dignity —
even in death.
The idea took root from a single, heartbreaking encounter. Years ago, in a hospital in Bikaner,
Rajinder Allsikha witnessed a woman who had just lost her husband to cancer. With no
means to transport or cremate the body, she sat beside him in helpless silence. Rajinder
stepped in to arrange the last rites himself. That act of kindness became the turning point of
his life. “From that moment,” he recalls, “I decided no soul should leave this world without
respect.”
Out of that promise was born the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team — named after the
revolutionary hero whose courage and selflessness continue to inspire generations. What
started as one man’s mission has evolved into a collective of volunteers working across
Rajasthan and beyond, ensuring that even those abandoned in death receive a dignified
farewell.
Today, the organization works hand-in-hand with local police, hospitals, and district
authorities to identify and perform last rites for unclaimed bodies. In each case, the team
follows the religious traditions of the deceased — be it a Hindu cremation, Muslim burial,
Sikh prayer, or Christian service. Over the years, they have carried out more than a hundred
dignified funerals, transforming grief into grace and anonymity into remembrance.
But their compassion doesn’t end there. The Bhagat Singh Rescue Team also operates an
old-age home for destitute elders, offering shelter, food, and medical care to those left
behind by society. Admission is facilitated through the District Social Welfare Office and
SDM, ensuring that those in genuine need find safety and care. The organization’s work
further extends to an education center for underprivileged and tribal children, providing free
schooling, accommodation, and health support. The curriculum combines traditional
learning — such as Vedic studies and environmental awareness — with modern education to
promote holistic growth.
Their circle of compassion includes animals too. The team rescues injured and abandoned
animals, offering treatment, rehabilitation, and adoption. Through regular awareness drives,
they promote kindness and responsibility towards all living beings.
In addition, the NGO leads campaigns under the “Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan” (Drug-Free
India) initiative, working alongside the Narcotics Control Bureau, Health Department, and
Department of Social Justice and Empowerment. Every year on June 26, the organization
hosts an International Seva Run, uniting citizens in the fight against substance abuse.
For Founder Rajinder Allsikha, now a recognized social reformer in the region, this is more
than service — it is a spiritual commitment. Guided by Trusty Kiran Verma, who continues to
oversee community operations and humanitarian programs, the team functions with
discipline, sincerity, and transparency. “We don’t do this for fame or funds,” Rajinder says.
“We do it because humanity must not forget its heart.”
Once misunderstood and questioned, the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team has now become a
trusted partner for police, hospitals, and civic bodies. It has turned a solitary act of
compassion into a sustainable model of dignity and care.
In a world rushing forward, the Bhagat Singh Rescue Team reminds us of something timeless
— that compassion is not charity, but duty. Their story stands as proof that when humanity
comes first, even silence can echo with meaning.
