Sachdev said in a press release, ``This was the first such opportunity for a representative  of the Sikh community to offer a prayer at the Arizona State Education Board meeting. This is a step in the right direction in spreading  awareness of  Sikhs.’’
The press release added that a  few months ago, the Arizona State Board allowed for  inclusion of information about the Sikh faith in school  curriculum. This was the result of a concerted effort spearheaded  by Anjleen Kaur  and supported by the Sikh Coalition.
