Founding two Khalsa schools

A Strongly documented Life contested depends on the 2026 biography

He founded two Khalsa schools: a Khalsa Middle School in his own village, and Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa High School at Sarhali, Amritsar district. Further schools were opened under the auspices of the Khalsa Diwan Bar; their number and locations are not specified in any accessible source.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Strongly documented — permits.
