Vision & Mission

Our Vision

Our vision at Dastakk (Knock) is to build an informed, aware, and empowered Punjab where historical truth, justice, human dignity, Punjabi language, Sikh heritage, and cultural identity are preserved for future generations. We aspire to create a reliable platform that documents historical events, human rights concerns, social challenges, and the experiences of affected families. Through awareness, research, public participation, and the preservation of historical records, we aim to encourage transparency, accountability, and a peaceful pursuit of justice for the people of Punjab.

Our Mission

The mission of Dastakk is to document and preserve historical records, collect verified information about drug-related deaths, human rights violations, alleged unlawful encounters, disappearances, and other social and political challenges affecting Punjab. We strive to provide a platform where affected families can share their experiences, historical evidence can be recorded, and important issues can reach the attention of researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the wider public.

We are committed to protecting Punjabi language, Sikh history, cultural heritage, and the values of dignity, equality, and justice. Through responsible documentation, evidence-based research, public awareness, and community participation, Dastakk seeks to help future generations understand Punjab's past, recognize present challenges, and contribute to a safer, more informed, and just society. Our mission is to preserve the voices of those who have suffered, promote accountability through lawful and peaceful means, and ensure that significant historical events and the experiences of affected communities are not forgotten.
