Our Race Against Time
The Three Pillars of Preservation
Living Testimonies
Beyond documentation, this is a sacred mission to reconnect the 1947 generation with their roots. Racing against the clock, Jeevay Sanjha Punjab captures the memories of those who still carry the keys to homes they left decades ago, bringing their untold stories into the permanent archive of our heritage.

Sikh Heritage in Pakistan
When millions moved from West to East Punjab in 1947, over 300 historical Sikh sites were left behind. While a few remain maintained, the vast majority are slowly turning to ruins. Jeevay Sanjha Punjab's field teams work across the landscape to document these fading landmarks through digital mapping and photography.

Seperation by Script
We are breaking the barriers of script to reconnect Punjab with its roots. By teaching Gurmukhi in West Punjab and Shahmukhi in East Punjab, Jeevay Sanjha Punjab ensures that the poetry of Bulleh Shah and the Guru’s baani can be read by every Punjabi across the border.
