Ludhiana Honors Legendary Poet Sahir Ludhianvi's Legacy

In 2025, the city of Ludhiana is honoring the legacy of its most renowned cultural asset, the legendary poet Sahir Ludhianvi. Sahir, who used Ludhiana in his name, studied at the Malwa Khalsa Senior Secondary School, Model Gram, when it was known as Khalsa High School.

The school's principal, Karamjit Singh Grewal, has preserved Sahir's admission withdrawal entry from April 1, 1935, which records his name and date of birth. Sahir left the school on March 31, 1937, while in Class X. However, tangible traces of Sahir's time at the school have not survived, as the school was later shifted to a new location in 1974.
