About Kahma Village

The Kahma Canadian Association, from now on called the 'Association' was formed on March 04, 1979, at the encouragement of SardarAjit Singh Thanedarwhen he visited Canada. His own spirit of love and dedication towards the village was a catalyst which united all of us of village Kahma residing in and around Toronto Canada. No doubt, we all were meeting each other in the past casually but his visit resulted in the formation of the Association.
