Introduction
The Sikh Human Development Foundation Scholarship, often known as the SHDF
Scholarship, was set up by the Nishkam Sikh Welfare Council, New Delhi, in collaboration
with the Sikh Human Development Foundation, USA. It was to benefit gifted learners from
families with limited resources in Punjab and other states in North India. In the past 20 years,
