The Punjab Association owes its utmost gratitude to its founder late Ln. Col. Gurdial Singh Gill, a far visioned pioneer who had lofty dreams to serve the society. The Punjab Association with its magnitude runs an Orphanage, a Home for the Aged and Destitute , Educational Institutes and Medical care. All this is possible due to the relentless efforts, timeless and selfless service of this great stalwart who had left a trail for us to follow. His 40 years of arduous contribution had been a motivating force behind the marvellous growth and development of the Association.

P.N.D Adarsh Vidyalaya can never forget its Founder, Shri.P.N.Dhawan who served as the General Secretary of The Punjab Association for over 55 years. He was a beacon of light to the future generations who scaled new heights in the field of education. Shri P.N. Dhawan was bestowed Padmashri in 1984.

These legendary heroes are no longer with us but by being industrious they have carved a niche by establishing exemplary Institutions which are still testimony of their relentless service.
