<br />
Social worker Jagdeep Singh worked with SOS Children's Villages before coming to assist in setting up the SGB Children's Home. He played a key role in setting up SOS Children's Villages in Punjab (Rajpura, for children affected by a long spell of social disturbance in Punjab) and in Gujarat (for children rendered homeless by a devastating earthquake in January 2001).<br />
The ideology of the SGB Children's Home is based on a sacred principle that every child has right to live and grow in a family. A group of 7-8 children live under care of a dedicated woman who has devoted her life for the cause of needy children. A major part of the organization work is shared by Bibi Jasbir Kaur, Mr. Kuldip Singh and Ms. Ramanjot Kaur.<br />
