The colorful brochure of the Carnival was released here by  eminent social workers S.

He provided employment  to over 18,000 youth. He focused on opening the branches of  bank in the rural areas of Punjab. The enthusiasm of Dr. Inderjeet Singh can be guessed  from the fact that he started a new bank –  Bank of Punjab - in 1995,  when he was at the age of 84 years.
