MBE to HNN Member Balbir Singh

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hindu NHS Network Congratulates Balbir Singh on the Award of MBE
London, UK – The Hindu NHS Network is delighted to extend its warmest congratulations to Balbir Singh on being awarded Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in recognition of his outstanding contribution to arts, culture, and health.
Balbir Singh is an exceptional art and dance director whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and appreciation of Hindu culture and philosophy in the United Kingdom.
Balbir is a disciple of Pamdashri Guru Pratap Pawar MBE, a senior level exponent of Kathak throughout the world. Balbir says “I draw upon the emotional and expressional aspects of Indian dance as part of the health based work to find different metaphors and langues of expression whilst tapping into our individual creativity.”
 
His leadership and creative excellence were prominently showcased during the launch of the Hindu NHS Network at the UK Parliament, where his artistic direction powerfully conveyed the depth, inclusivity, and contemporary relevance of Hindu traditions.
Beyond cultural advocacy, Balbir Singh has made a meaningful impact in healthcare through innovative, non-pharmaceutical approaches to wellbeing. He has worked extensively on the management of chronic pain through art and dance, demonstrating how creative therapies can improve quality of life, emotional resilience, and patient engagement. His collaborations with the International Organisation of Integrated Health Practitioners have further advanced the use of integrative, evidence-informed approaches for conditions such as chronic pain, dementia, and other long-term health challenges.
Balbir Singh’s professional standards are consistently of the highest order, reflecting a rare combination of artistic mastery, compassion, and commitment to social impact. The Hindu NHS Network is proud to have worked alongside him on multiple projects that bridge culture, health, and community wellbeing, and we value his dedication to excellence in every endeavour.
This MBE is a richly deserved honour that recognises not only Balbir Singh’s individual achievements but also the wider role of arts and culture in promoting holistic health, inclusion, and understanding across society. The Hindu NHS Network congratulates him wholeheartedly and looks forward to continuing meaningful collaborations in the years ahead.
