sikhs give back - volunteers spend a quartermillion man hours to regenerate iconiccitroen building for community use.
7th december 2015, SLOUGH, BERKSHIRE, UK –
We announce the opening of Guru Maneyo Granth Gurdwara, which is the second phase and
the epicentre, of a wider project in Slough. The first phase of which was launched in September
and opened by Communities Minister Baroness Williams. The Rt Hon Lord Feldman of Elstree,
Chairman of the Conservative Party will be officially opening the site on the 13th December
2015.
The creation of this unique facility, which will now involve both a temple and a learning centre, the
first in the UK to offer privately funded free City & Guilds courses, has been made possible by the
generosity of the people who support the Sikh faith charity PMKC, which exists to support and
enable Sikh communities to engage in positive community projects
Lord Feldman, will be officially opening the second phase of the 135,000 sq foot site. As part
of the opening, he will be presenting the first batch of students with their qualifications. Lord
Feldman will then open the Gurdwara segment of the site, take part in a short ceremony
and address the Sikh congregation.
Centre Manager Jatinder Singh says “The build has been a labour of love and has amassed
more than a quarter of a million volunteer man hours in its making. The project to regenerate
the iconic Citroen building on the Bath road was estimated to take 3 years to complete but with
the influx of volunteers, it has taken a mere 14 months to complete”.
Prime Minister David Cameron supports the project and said, “I warmly welcome this local
initiative. It is one that will undoubtedly provide economic and social benefits to the local
community, whilst making the positive step of bringing the people who live there closer
together. Not only does this project serve followers of the Sikh faith, but it also provides
access to training and skills to those who need them, regardless of their background. None of
this would be possible without the vitality of those who wish to see their community prosper”.
With collaboration from national businesses including Selco, Mars, Netgear and Slough
borough council, the first batch of students in both Multimedia Production and City &
Guilds Construction Skills courses have been successfully trained. The second round of
enrolment has already commenced for January 2016 in conjunction with DWP, Slough for Youth

Indian couture designer, Sulakshana Monga, has balanced this melange to perfection. Popular saree pieces this season include the Black and Khaki Dhoti Saree, seamlessly juxtaposing structured, military chic with flowing drapes, detailed embroidery and patchwork, simultaneously playing on the masculine and feminine.
This new collection reflects a smarter, characterised look, portraying the stronger side of femininity. The essence of the collection is Indian and the structure contemporary, fusing indigenous techniques with a modern treatment. The silhouettes are well constructed, mixing traditional with western to create a fresh narrative for the saree. The detailed thread embroideries, patchwork and geometrical webs create luxurious surfaces on canvasses of silks, chiffon’s, georgette’s and chanderies.
In contrast, the ivory collection represents sartorial elegance and romantic, vintage glamour. A beautiful play of soft colors and fabrics with traditional embroidery tapings gives the collection a soft look. Elegant cuts and layers, fluid satins and sheer nets in a fresh colour palette of beige, aquatic blue and peach make the designs extremely feminine and fresh. The pieces combine saree with dhoti; backless saree gowns with antique gold, three-dimensional lacework; and traditional, chiffon sarees matched with contemporary tops.
Sulakshana Monga’s lauded designs transcend the boundaries of seasonal trends in favour of an experimentation with aesthetics – masterpieces sought after by Indian fashion influencers and tastemakers across the globe. High profile clients include Bollywood actresses Deepika Padukone, Ileana D’Cruz and Sunny Leone, to name a few. Sulakshana has been the recipient of coveted accolades including the Shama Prasad Mukherjee Award in the field of Art (2015) and the Bharat Gaurav Award (2014).
