Sirhind is a town in the Fatehgarh district of Punjab, it is known for its rich history. It has seen a great time in the Mughal era but not much remains of the past are present now for people to witness that. It is a very old place and its history dates back to the year 505, the evidence of that is available in a Sanskrit treatise. Later, it was inhabited by the Sairindhas Aryans and that is why the name is Sirhind. It was ruled by the last Hindu King Prithvi Raj Chauhan and then by the Mughals. In this era, many scholars, poets, religious people lived here and education was valued a lot. Many mosques, gardens, and wells were built and it is believed that it had around 360 mosques at that time, however, only very little could be seen now. Sirhind has the highest literacy rate which is more than the literacy rate of the whole nation, thus it has the largest number of educated males and females. This is due to the availability of ample schools and colleges which offer courses in diverse fields. There are school affiliated to central as well as state boards along with educational institutes for Law, Teaching, Polytechnic, Engineering and other bachelor degrees. There is the very famous Sri Guru Granth Sahib University where one can learn various fields along with doing Masters in Religious studies and Sikh Studies.

Even though Sirhind has the highest literacy rate, it does not have enough opportunities for employment of these educated people. It has small scale industries providing for the basic needs of the people, some expanding to other cities and states but not too progressive. This is the cause of migration of residents to foreign countries so that they can build a fruitful career for themselves. Some of them go to study while some go to work and live permanently. Due to the presence of few immigration consultants in Sirhind, it became possible for the people to go overseas, however they lacked in the services and standard of work which has resulted in the disappointments for many of them. But, since Abroad Gateway has established its business there, this situation has improved to a large extent. They have placed students in the reputed universities in USA, UK, Australia and Canada as per their interest.
