Fired with the zeal of carving out a better economic future, these devoted souls gradually transformed the desert dunes there into green fields. This was the moment when they felt need of catering to the soul and the intellect. Besides satiating their hunger for food, a handful of these people under the command of Sh. Thakar Singh initiated the Anglo Vernacular Middle School in what was named 'Saini Bar' area. As in other professions so in education of their purpose. As a result, the institution not only blossomed well, but their efforts were recognized by the British Government with a freehold grant of S acres of land for the institution.
