New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV), in collaboration with the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, has initiated a campaign #DilSeSewa. At a time of widespread hunger and a humanitarian crisis, this campaign focuses on the rich living tradition of food sharing as widely practised in “Langars” or community kitchens by the Sikh community. The Sikh community has been at the forefront of relentlessly helping people to tide over the crisis— and their 'sewa' during the coronavirus pandemic is a shining example of their community spirit.
Here are the Highlights of the #DilSeSewa Telethon:

#DilSeSewa ended on a kirtan by Bhai Kultar Singh of Hazuri Ragi Gurdwara Bangla Sahib that highlighted one of the main teachings of sikhism, Kar Sewa, which means selfless service to all regardless of caste, class, religion, gender, social or economic status or political consideration.
