In 2014 Dr. Guninderjit Singh Jawandha (Minku Jawandha) continued this work with utmost dedication and vision, that today after more than 10 years Japhar welfare Society is helping and changing more and more lives of poor people towards a dignified and dependent life for the coming years.
The philosophy Of Japhar Welfare Society as mentioned by Dr. Guninderjit Singh are
- Help the poor people (esp. which are left by NGOs and government schemes).
- Increase the awareness among common people about their fundamental rights
- Empower the girl child and women to be independent to survive with their head held high.
- Quit addiction which includes drugs (main target), alcohol and smoking.

This work needs constant motivation along with the support of people around you and that’s how any change grows, shows its impact.
