Bhagat Singh Rescue Team Sriganganagar is a humanitarian non-governmental organisation operating from Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, India. Established in 2021 by social worker Rajinder Allsikha, the organisation focuses on extending dignity and care to individuals who are often neglected by society, including the deceased, abandoned elderly citizens, underprivileged children, and injured animals.

The organisation is widely associated with its efforts in arranging respectful last rites for unclaimed bodies, along with sustained initiatives in social rehabilitation, education, animal welfare, and community-based anti-drug campaigns. Trustee Kiran Verma supports organisational leadership and programme execution.

Founder

Rajinder Allsikha was born on 1 January 1998 in 9FA Majhiwala, Sriganganagar. His involvement in humanitarian service began after he encountered a financially helpless family in Bikaner unable to perform funeral rites for a deceased member. Allsikha personally organised the cremation, an experience that became the foundation for his long-term commitment to funeral dignity and social service.

This incident ultimately led to the formation of Bhagat Singh Rescue Team as a structured humanitarian organisation.

Vision and Philosophy

The organisation is guided by the belief that humanity transcends social, economic, and religious boundaries. Its philosophy centres on ensuring respect and compassion for every individual, whether living or deceased. The NGO views humanitarian service as both a civic responsibility and a moral obligation, striving to uplift those abandoned by society.

Activities

Funeral Services for Unclaimed Bodies

A core activity of the organisation involves coordinating with hospitals, police departments, and local authorities to conduct last rites for unidentified or unclaimed deceased persons. Religious customs are observed wherever possible to maintain dignity and cultural sensitivity.

According to organisational data, the team has facilitated funeral services for more than 100 individuals across various regions of India.

Elderly Shelter Care

Bhagat Singh Rescue Team manages a shelter home for destitute and abandoned senior citizens. The facility provides:

  • Residential accommodation
  • Daily meals
  • Medical support
  • Assistance with routine activities

Admissions are processed through the District Social Welfare Department and SDM offices.

Education for Underprivileged Children

The organisation supports children from economically weaker sections and Scheduled Tribe communities by providing:

  • Access to free education
  • Residential facilities

  • Healthcare services
  • Cultural, moral, and physical development programmes

The educational model integrates traditional knowledge, environmental awareness, and value-based learning.

Animal Rescue

The NGO actively rescues injured, abandoned, and mistreated animals, providing veterinary care and rehabilitation. Adoption support and public awareness initiatives promote compassion and responsible treatment of animals.

Anti-drug Awareness

As part of national substance-abuse prevention efforts, the organisation conducts awareness campaigns, workshops, and public outreach programmes. Every year on 26 June, it organises an ‘‘International Service Run’’ to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.

Rajinder Allsikha credits his family for their continued encouragement and support:

  • Father — Late Shri Hari Ram Allsikha
  • Mother — Late Jassi Bai
