The grievous and unexpected loss of the sole heir of their property dealt a stunning to the unfortunate parents who felt completely shattered and dismayed by this almost unbearable loss. In this sad hour of their terrible grief, they found some solace in their only daughter Bibi Harparkash Kaur, upon whom, hereafter they concentrated all their attention and decided to bring her up like a son by imparting her good education. Since education for girls in those days, was something unheard of particularly in rural areas, there was no institution in the area where the daughter could be educated. So, in 1909 Bhai Sahib Bhai Narain Singh ji a great visionary, started in his own Haveli the first class of a Primary Girls School to which Bibi Harparkash Kaur was enrolled as its first student. In course of time, this was raised to a Girls Middle School in 1916 and later to a recognized High School in 1934.
