Originating from the Residence of S Daljit Singh, IAS (retd), it shifted to its present campus on the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Kanthala, Indl Area Phase 2, Chandigarh on the Airport Road opposite The Tribune Office Roundabout in year 2000. After constructing its own campus, the major objective behind establishing this Sikh Institute of Sikh studies was to confront and rebut the countrywide vilification campaign against the Sikhs during the turbulent decade of 1980s as well as the calculated and intentional misinterpretation of some of the fundamental tenets of Sikhism by some of the Western and Northern American scholars under the stewardship of W.H. McLeod, a Christian missionary-turned-scholar of Sikh studies.
