GOPIO Sydney North West chapter team decided to financially support the needy students of Sainik Institute, Hoshiarpur, where children of retired Indian soldiers study and take vocational training for their future careers. GOPIO Sydney North West chapter has already provided basic amenities to disadvantaged school children of Punjab and Haryana for the last 7 years and around 4,000 students have benefitted.
