A Story Born from Pain
Our Founding Story
In the summer of 2004, after witnessing a tragic incident ignited the passion of Amit Bawa and Jyoti Bawa to change society. After witnessing a devastating gender-based crime in Punjab, they founded Punjabi Samvad. They created the play “Khooh Bolda Hai” to raise awareness, which became the cornerstone of their mission.
Amit Bawa was diagnosed with a brain tumor and eventually passed away in 2014. His death left a huge void in the organization, but his legacy continues to inspire us every day. Amit Bawa was a visionary who believed in the power of education, art, and activism to change lives.
Even though he is no longer with us, his vision for a just, empowered society lives on through Punjabi Samvad. His memory and work guide our every action, and we remain committed to carrying his mission forward.

Our Leadership Today
After Amit Bawa’s passing, his wife and co-founder, Ms. Jyoti Bawa, assumed the role of Chairperson, continuing the work they both started.
