Anand, IAS, Joint Secretary, Ministry Of Urban Development, Govt. of India visited. Bhai Vir Singh\u2019s Niwas Asthaan (BVSNA)\u00a0 in Amritsar. He was accompanied by Ms. Sonali Giri, Municipal Commissioner, Amritsar. Bhai Vir Singh (1872-1957) is called the sixth river of Punjab due to his contribution to Punjabi language in its present form and its literature. His novel \u201cSundari\u201d published in 1898 is termed as the first novel in Punjabi Language and its popularity ensured 35 editions. During his Lifetime he wrote many poems, play and books.\u00a0 He is also acclaimed for his three excellent biographies, Sri Kalgidhar Chamatkar\u00a0(1925),<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sri Guru Nanak Chamatkar\u00a0(1928), and\u00a0Asht Gur Chamatkar\u00a0(1951). During his lifetime he inspired the setting up of many institutions such as the Chief Khalsa Dewan, Khalsa Tract Society, Khalsa College and the Punjab &amp; Singh Bank. \u00a0BVSNA includes the abode of this saint scholar and a museum of his belongings and artefacts of the times. A part of the estate houses the<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bhai Vir Singh community Hall, now fully Air-conditioned, and an orchard with hundreds of trees planted by Bhai Sahib himself. The orchard is Year-3 Organic due to the continued efforts of Dilbir Foundation. A Vermicomposting Project making the estate a Zero Garbage model for the city was inaugurated by Mr. Anand &amp; Mr. Sonali Giri under the aegis of the Eco Amritsar Program. Mr. Anand marvelled at the conservation work being carried out at this centre of legacy, and saw with interest the 17Nov 1899 first copy of<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Khalsa Samachar. He wrote in the visitors book, \u201cI am gifted to be at the museum of Bhai Vir Singh, a holy saint and scholar of the Sikhs, I extend my warm wishes to Shri Gunbir Singh &amp; his team.\u201d Ms. Sonali Giri expressed that this is a heritage structure of national importance in terms of literature &amp; preservation of our culture. As Commissioner Municipal Corporation, she extended her best wishes and all her support to preserving this heritage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Speaking on the occasion Gunbir Singh, Hon. Gen. Sec. of the institution at Amritsar said, \u201c Bhai Vir Singh ji\u2019s scholarship is relevant as much today to Punjab as it was in yesteryears. His legacy celebrates the rich traditions of language, literature, ecology, education, progressive though and spirituality of the subcontinent. In conserving this heritage we lay foundations of goodness in our next generation. The support promised by the head of NHM &amp; the Municipal Commissioner is deeply appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amritsar, July 6 (Punjab Post Bureau)\u2013 National Heritage Mission chief Mr. B.
