The Nishkam Civic Association (NCA) was established in 2003. It is a relatively new and unique organization charged with the task of developing a dynamic Sikh faith-inspired civic agenda. It is one of the five centres for excellence founded by Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha (GNNSJ), a Sikh faith-based organization dedicated to nishkam sewa (active, selfless volunteering) to serve the common good.
