The COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges that affected every corner of society. Hospitals carried overwhelming pressure, public spaces needed constant sanitization, and many communities struggled to protect themselves during the uncertainty. In these difficult times, the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee emerged as a strong example of selfless work and humanitarian commitment.
On July 10, 2021, in Shri Muktsar Sahib (Punjab), the Committee was formally appreciated for undertaking widespread sanitization work across the region. Volunteers from the Committee sanitized schools, villages, towns, public places, government quarters, hospitals, and community institutions, helping greatly during a time when cleanliness and disinfection were crucial defenses against COVID-19.
Their efforts earned them appreciation certificates from twelve authorities, including the Muktsar Municipality and the Central Bank of India.
What truly sets the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee apart is not only the scale of their service, but the spirit behind it. These volunteers are not paid. They do not expect benefits, recognition, or personal gain. Their work is driven entirely by humanitarian values and the teachings of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan (Saint Dr. MSG), who encourages society to adopt selflessness, compassion, and responsibility.
The Committee’s members see their volunteer service as a moral duty—a way to help humanity without seeking anything in return. Their dedication during COVID-19 became a clear demonstration of how powerful community-led support can be in times of crisis.
A Responsible and Dedicated Volunteer System
Before someone becomes a volunteer of the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee, they fill out a form that emphasizes awareness and responsibility, for themselves and the society. This form helps ensure that every member understands the seriousness of community service, particularly during major challenges like pandemics, floods, or natural disasters.
The purpose of this process is not to encourage danger, but to show that volunteers are stepping forward out of genuine commitment. It also demonstrates that they are joining with full understanding and readiness, and that they are prepared to serve with discipline, safety, and proper training.
The Committee provides protective gear, guidance, and well-organized coordination so that all volunteers contribute responsibly and securely.
Serving Courageously During the Pandemic
During the peak of the pandemic, many people across the country were understandably anxious about stepping outside their homes. Sanitation workers and healthcare staff were overwhelmed, and support was needed to maintain hygiene in public areas. It was at this critical moment that the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee stepped in to help.
Equipped with protective gear and working in organized teams, the volunteers sanitized:
- Schools to support safer future reopening
- Hospitals, where the risk of virus spread was higher
- Villages and towns, safeguarding rural and urban communities
- Government buildings, banks, and public offices
- Markets, neighborhoods, and busy public zones
Their work made a significant impact on slowing community transmission and gave residents much-needed reassurance. Local authorities praised their discipline and dedication, noting that their support helped lighten the load on frontline workers.
Teachings That Inspire Humanity
The volunteers consistently express that the motivation behind their work comes from the teachings of Saint Dr. MSG, who emphasizes serving others with kindness, humility, and sincerity. The philosophy is simple yet powerful: helping humanity is the greatest form of worship.
These values have inspired countless humanitarian activities for many years—blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, tree planting, disaster relief, and more. During COVID-19, these teachings held even deeper meaning. Volunteers viewed their service as a way to protect lives and support society when it needed help the most.
Service Without Expectation
The Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee, founded by Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan in 2001, is a volunteer-based humanitarian organization focused on selfless service during disasters and ongoing welfare activities like tree planting, blood donation, and animal care. It is known for its trained members providing immediate relief in calamities worldwide, even setting records for their widespread efforts.
The Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Committee is respected widely for its completely volunteer-driven structure. Members give their time and energy without expectation of financial reward. During the pandemic, this meant that volunteers balanced family responsibilities, jobs, and personal commitments while still contributing hours toward public safety.
Their sincerity made a strong impression on the authorities. The 12 appreciation certificates they received were symbols of recognition—not something they sought, but something they earned naturally through their dedication.
A Lasting Example of Compassion
The work of the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S Welfare Committee during COVID-19 shows how deeply impactful community service can be when carried out with sincerity and courage. Their efforts brought relief to thousands of people and reminded society that even in times of crisis, humanity shines brightest through acts of kindness.
Their legacy continues to inspire many, proving that when people unite with compassion and responsibility, they can overcome even the toughest challenges.
