It is well known that punjabi NRIs settled abroad who have their roots in the land of their birth are quite concerned about the welfare of punjabis. Some of these crusaders for health care were rather deeply concerned about drug addiction, alcoholism and foeticide attaining alarming proportions and rather talking the shape of an epidemic in Punjab, The increase in Aids cases was perturbing. They formed a Guru Nanak Mission Awareness Society at BC Canada. The members of this society Mr. Jatinder (Jay) Minhas, Mr. Manjit Singh Saini, Mr. Amrik Singh Sangha, Mr. Sudershan Bakhshi and S. Sarabjit Singh Dhaliwal contacted S. Balbir Singh Saini the then Honorary General Secretary of Guru Nanak Mission Hospital and decided to work in collaboration with GNMH. A group of the members of the society came for this specific purpose and established a Drug and Alcohol De-addiction Centre at a Guru Nanak Mission Hospital, Jalandhar. They donated  11 Lacs and the Punjab Government also donated a matching grant of 11 Lacs to finance this project.
