The small village of Sidhwan Khurd in District Ludhiana is well-known for its premier institutions of higher learning for females and finds prominent place in the Educational Map of Rural India.In 1908 Kaka Ujagar Singh, the only son of Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh ji and Mata Ram Kaur Ji was suddenly snatched away from them by the cruel hands of destiny. The grievous and unexpected loss of the sole heir of their property dealt a stunning to the unfortunate parents who felt completely shattered and dismayed by this almost unbearable loss. In this sad hour of their terrible grief, they found some solace in their only daughter Bibi Harparkash Kaur, upon whom, hereafter they concentrated all their attention and decided to bring her up like a son by imparting her good education. Since education for girls in those days, was something unheard of particularly in rural areas, there was no institution in the area where the daughter could be educated. So, in 1909 Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh ji a great visionary, started in his own Haveli the first class of a Primary Girls School to which Bibi Harparkash Kaur was enrolled as its first student. In course of time, this was raised to a Girls Middle School in 1916 and later to a recognized High School in 1934.
The development of this institution into a great rural Centre of Education for girls, became thereafter, the main concern and sole aim of the dedicated and self sacrificing family. To achieve that purpose and to ensure that the tiny seedling of education planted by him in 1909, continued to grow and flourish without suffering any setback, when he was no longer on the scene, Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh ji created a Trust in 1943 known as “Sri Guru Hargobind Ujagar Hari Trust” and dedicated his entire property to this Trust for the sacred cause of education and he became the First President of the Trust. After his death Mata Ram Kaur ji took over his responsibilities and later on Padam shri Bibi Harparkash Kaur Ji worked as life Long President.Her patronage, missionary zeal and strenuous efforts in promoting the cause of female education in this remote village, paid handsome dividends and resulted in the birth of the Degree College known as Khalsa College for Women in 1950 and Basic Training College in 1955, which eventually progressed to a full fledged Teacher Training College. This was later named as G.H.G.Harparkash College of Education.
