It was in the year of 2007, some like minded people guided by the Principle of Universal brotherhood, equality came together to make a lasting change in the lives of the under-privileged people. As a result AKHAR-SOH was born.
In India there are 25 crore people living below the poverty line, and the weakest among them are the nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes. People belonging to these communities are landless, and they travel from one place to another place for business purpose. AKHAR started with the sole aim of improving the socio-economic condition of nomadic/semi-nomadic tribes.
Sikligars belong to the semi-nomadic tribe and their socio-economic condition is very weak. Right now AKHAR works for Sikligars directly in the state of Maharshtra and indirectly through the other like minded organizations in other parts of the country.
We aim to uplift them through education, and bring them at par with the other sections of the society.

Recalling the Forgotten Sikhs - World Sikh News (19 Nov' 08)
Living in abject penury, far from their homeland Punjab, with virtually no connection with Sikh thought and the Sikh world, they are iron smiths who eke out a daily living by making utensils, knives and agricultural implements. Whatever little history is available, tells us that they were weapon-makers since the times of the sixth Master, Guru Hargobind Sahib.
