25.01.2022 A very proud moment for Captain Amrinder Singh Ghuman becoming the first Sikh Australian recipient of the prestigious John Monash Scholarship Program 2021. Capt. Ghuman has been an Australian Military Engineer Officer for 10 years, over 5 of which he has lead diverse teams in remote regions of Australia, the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East. My values, specifically the concept of sewa are the cornerstone of my leadership style and were critical to my growth as a leader.. ...- Capt. Ghuman. The John Monash Scholarship Program funds $70,000 per year for 3 years study for the Awarded Scholar to earn higher education at an overseas university. We thank Capt. Ghuman for being an exceptional role model and wish the very best with all future academic, professional and community ventures. https://buff.ly/3rvgCS3

24.01.2022 YSPN’s focus is primarily on issues concerning our chapters across Australia and New Zealand, but what is clear is that as a first-generation community, we maintain close connections to our families and heritage in Punjab, who are being affected by these bills. We felt a responsibility given our position and capabilities to address these bills appropriately for our audience, and indeed the Global Sikh community. We recently recorded a YSPN webinar with 2 expert guest speaker...s - Professor CSC Sekhar & Professor Sukhpal Singh who provided critical insights and expert analysis on India's Farm Bills. Our aim from delivering this event to you is a fact-based exploration of the issues holistically and provide better options for the diaspora to contribute meaningfully to these issues and address the plight of Sikhs, Farmers, and Punjab as a whole.
