About University

Welcome to Lincoln Group of Institutions

Established in 2004, our university has been a bastion of learning, innovation, and community for over two decades. The Dharma Foundation Education Trust (DFET) stands as a beacon of hope for underprivileged students in Punjab, India.

DFET was established by the visionary S. Didar Singh Bhatti, a social worker, agriculturalist, and former legislator. His commitment to the "Aam Aadmi" and rural upliftment led to the founding of this transformative trust.

The History of Lincoln & DFET

The Dharma Foundation Education Trust was born from the vision of S. Didar Singh Bhatti — a man deeply rooted in the values of social service, agriculture, and community leadership. A former legislator, S. Bhatti believed that access to quality education was the single greatest equaliser for Punjab's rural youth.

From law to teacher training and school education, DFET bridges the educational divide by focusing on excellence, affordability, and holistic development. The trust has steadily expanded its reach, empowering thousands of students who would otherwise have been denied opportunity.

Today, under the continued stewardship of S. Gurbinder Singh Bhatti and Mr. Jashandeep Singh, the institution stands as one of Punjab's most respected educational groups — a living legacy of one family's commitment to the common man.

"Education is not a privilege — it is the birthright of every child, regardless of where they are born."

— S. Didar Singh Bhatti
