Our HQ
The current premises at Num 1 Jalan 14/35 46100 Petaling Jaya Selangor was purchased in 2001 through donations. This premises has now become the venue for the parcharak, classes and weekly programmes. The final instalment was paid in 2011 and the building now belongs to the organisation. With heavy usage of the facilities, over the last 20 years, the building has become dilapidated and is in need of some major renovation and refurbishment work.
The main objective of the refurbishment it to cater to a larger place for: -
- Classrooms for Weekly Classes
- Darbar Sahib Programs
- Additional Toilets and bigger kitchen / Langgar Hall
- Rooms for Ragi Jathas / Students etc
The project is estimated of cost RM 500,000 and is scheduled to start in 2022 and with the blessings of GuruJi and Sanggat we hope to have this refurbishment work completed by 2023.
