MATASAHIBKAUR TheMotherOfTheKhaisa Mata Sahib Kaur Girls' Hostel 2019-20 A large number of girl students from outside Delhi even from smaller towns aspire to have access to education in the capital and Delhi University is replete with examples of young and enterprising women who have made a mark in the society. Seeing this, Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce has decided to develop hostel facilities for the girl students in the name of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. The hostel is located inside the college campus. With 42 rooms, it can accommodate the 126 undergraduate girl students of the college. Mata Sahib Kaur is wife of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. She is proclaimed to be the Mother of the Khalsa. The Khalsa was declared to be the sons and daughters of Guru Gobind Singh and Mata Sahib Kaur. She was epitome of qualities of humility and sacrifice having a complete faith in Almighty. She mixed sugary balls into Amrit that was been administered to the Sangat signifying that strength must be mingled with accompanying sweetness. After the battle of Anandpur Sahib when the entire family of Guru Gobind Singh was separated, Mata Sahib Kaur accompanied Guru Gobind Singh to Delhi and thereafter to Nanded. When Guru Gobind Singh realized that the time has come when He was to leave for the heavenly abode, Mata Sahib Kaur was told by him to leave the place and join Mata Sundari in Delhi. Guru Gobind Singh handed to Mata Sahib Kaur five weapons and his Insignia through which 9 Hukamnamas (Letter of Command) was issued for the Khalsa. Mata Sahib Kaur and Mata Sundari lived together leading the Khalsa. Mata Sahib Kaur left for the heavenly abode in 1747 when she was 66 years old and expressed desire to be cremated at the place that she visited often i.e., at Gurdwara Bala Sahib, New Delhi. The hostel aims to provide a comfortable and happy stay to the resident students facilitating comfort of living in the campus with utmost care and caution and granting them increasing scope for learning and growth. 'A home away from home' can be comfortable when the balance between the rights and duties is prudently regulated. Criteria for Admission 1.
