Sidhwan Khurd, a small village in Ludhiana district situated at a distance of 30 kilometers from Ludhiana on Ludhiana – Ferozepur Road, is widely acclaimed as a Centre of Women Education in rural India. The Sidhwan Group of Institutions, located in Sidhwan Khurd village near Ludhiana, Punjab, has a rich history rooted in theearly 20th century. In 1909, Bhai Narain Singh, a farmer from Sidhwan Khurd, initiated the education of girls by teaching four students under a mulberry tree in his courtyard. This was a pioneering effort in a time when educating girls was not customary in undivided Punjab. The first four students were Bibi Hariprakash Kaur, BibiBhan Kaur, Bibi Sodh Kaur, and Bibi Bhag Kaur. Bhai Narain Singh dedicated his 20 bighas of land to this cause,naming it after the school. In 1934, the middle school evolved into the Sikh Girls High School, and Bhai Narain Singh established the Sri Guru Hargobind Ujagar Hari Trust, transferring all his land and property to its name.This humble beginning laid the foundation for what would become a significant educational legacy in the region.The institutions are managed by the Sri Guru Hargobind Ujagar Hari Trust, established by Bhai Narain Singh. 

The genesis of this Educational Complex lies in a girls primary school established by Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh Ji and Smt. Ram Kaur Ji for girls of all castes and religions, in the cherished memory of their son Kaka Ujjaagar Singh. The son of Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh Ji was snatched away at the age of nine, from the parents by the cruel hands of fate in 1908. It was during these days of grief, Bhai Sahib thought of educating his daughter Bibi Harparkash Kaur. But there was no provision of education for girls in this area in those days. It was this thought that sowed the seed of education in the soil of this small village on May 9, 1909. A primary school that was started in 1909 with four girl students under a shed soon blossomed into the cluster of five flour is hing institutions providing education to more than five thousand students. The primary school was raised to High School in 1934. Before breathing his last Bhai Sahib created a trust named Sri Guru Hargobind Ujjaagar Hari Trust and dedicated his entire property to the sacred cause of female education. He was the first President of the Trust. After his death on 19th August, 1944, Mata Ram Kaur became the Second President. She breathed her last on 19th August 1950 and Bibi Harparkash Kaur, illustrious daughter of her parents became the Third President of the Trust. Devoted, as she was to the cause of Women Education,the institution covered many milestones under her patronage. In 1950 a Degree College and in 1955 a Basic Training College came into existence. She was honoured with Padam Shri by President of India in 1961 for her contributions.She was steering the institutions ahead with missionary zeal and dedication when the call came from heaven sand she left for her eternal abode on 5th August 1965. 

In her sacred memory the basic training College was renamed as GHG Harparkash College of Education for Women in 1966.S. Mohinder Singh Sidhwan took over as President of Trust after the departure of Padam Shri Bibi Harparkash Kaur. Under his visionary, intelligent and dedicated leadership, the institutions thrived with a great speed. In1969, M.Ed classes were started in the College of Education.
