Months after floods ravaged large parts of Punjab, several families in Pedewal village of Amritsar district have moved into permanent homes, thanks to an initiative spearheaded by leading music artist, philanthropist and entrepreneur Badshah, in collaboration with Sikh Aid.
Badshah personally visited Pedewal village over the weekend, accompanied by his mother, meeting each beneficiary family and handing over the keys to their new homes. He also assured the families that his commitment would continue, pledging ongoing support for long-term recovery efforts in flood-affected communities and demonstrating the powerful impact of combining celebrity influence with community-focused humanitarian work.
Badshah states, “Punjab is home. When people here lose everything, it becomes our shared responsibility. Rebuilding lives takes collective effort and responsibility. I stand by Punjab and urge others to join me in long-term rebuilding efforts.”
Sikh Aid spokesperson shares, “The floods destroyed homes, farmland, and livelihoods, leaving thousands of families in temporary shelters. While immediate relief provided essential food and medical support, long-term housing remained a pressing challenge. Badshah’s initiative directly addresses this gap by delivering permanent homes to the most affected families. For those who had spent months without secure shelter, moving into permanent homes marks a return to stability and dignity. The handover also highlights a broader reality across flood-hit villages in Amritsar and Punjab: while relief camps address immediate needs, true recovery begins only when families regain stable housing and a sense of security.”

One beneficiary shared, “After the floods, we did not know how long we would live like this. Having a permanent home gives us the strength to start again.”
Another beneficiary added, “This is not charity. It gives us respect and security.”
For this benevolent initiative, Sikh Aid volunteers, in collaboration with Badshah, coordinated with local community leaders to identify the most severely affected families and oversee construction, ensuring support reached those who had previously received little assistance.
