Pingalwara was founded by Bhagat Puran Singh. It is a home for the homeless, a hope for the forlorn, a hospital for the sick and a cradle for the orphaned and abandoned childrens. It was conceived in the serene environment of Gurdwara Dehra Sahib, Lahore where the founder used to come across some destitute and unfortunate, uncared sick and old people fending for themselves on the road-side footpaths, and was built in Amritsar after the partition of the country. Pingalwara was registered as ‘All India Pingalwara Charitable Society (Regd.).

Pingalwara literally means a home for people with disabilities and caters to the needs of the terminally sick. It is primarily a rescue-home for the poor, helpless and injured.

Today Pingalwara has seven branches in India, Chandigarh, Sangrur, Jalandhar, Goindwal, Mananwala and Pandori Waraich, in addition branches in  USA, and Canada.There are a total of over 1700 patients.
