Satnam Singh Sandhu nominated as a Rajya Sabha MP

Beyond his contributions to education, Sandhu, now the Chancellor of Chandigarh University, has emerged as a philanthropist. Sandhu actively engages in community initiatives to enhance health and wellness. Through his NGOs, namely the ‘Indian Minorities Foundation’ and the ‘New India Development (NID) Foundation,’ he has played a pivotal role in fostering communal harmony. His efforts also extend to national integration, both domestically and with the Indian diaspora abroad.

Reacting to Sandhu’s nomination, PM Narendra Modi tweeted, “I am delighted that the President has nominated Satnam Singh Sandhu to the Rajya Sabha. Satnam Singh Sandhu has distinguished himself as a noted educationist and social worker, who has been serving people at the grassroots in different ways. He has always worked extensively to further national integration and has also worked with the Indian diaspora. I wish him the very best for his Parliamentary journey and am confident the Rajya Sabha proceedings will be enriched by his views.”
