Master Harbans Singh was a dedicated Sewadar of Nishkam, who came in the Nishkam’s fold in the most difficult times of 1984 -1985. He was a teacher by profession and rendered his valuable and dedicated services upto November, 1993, when while coming back fromAmritsar, after completing a sewa mission, he met with an accident and departed from this world along with his wife. In recognition of his dedicated Nishkam Sewa, this scholarship programme was instituted.
