Other things to note The village was founded by Sardar Bishen Singh Singhpuria in the late 19th century. The family had migrated from village Singhpura which is located near the historic town of Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district. The village was established by the family who were agriculturist and later went into construction industry. The entire village community was settled by the family in this newly established village. The village today is approximately of 600 people from various communities. The Kothi was built by Sardar Beant Singh who was the son of Sardar Bishen Singh. Nawanpind Sardaran village is true to its rustic roots and unique cultural ethos, which remain untouched from rampant urbanization. The distance from the main highway and proximity to the canal discourages city life from trickling in. With its low height buildings, lush woody setting (parcels of land between the canal road and village along the entire length of the road) and vast turfs of agricultural pastures, the village experience is one to keep.
