A manifesto is a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer. The Achievers group stated all their policies and aims in their manifesto.

The main objectives of the Achievers group stated in their manifesto are as follows:

10. Will build a multi-utility hall in the club which can be used as Disco or Conference hall.

Revolutionary steps will be taken by Tarun Sikka and his teammates for the betterment of the club after winning the elections. They will approve in their first executive meeting that the tenure of the Secretary will remain the same for two terms only and for Executive members will be for three terms. Achievers group will extend the food limit by Rs 2000 and this extended limit will be applicable on food items only. 

People associated with the Sports Industry, Gadaipur Focal Point Industry, prominent doctors, advocates and other leading personalities of Jalandhar City are supporting the Achievers group wholeheartedly. Several Individual Gymkhana groups, namely, Ph.D. group, Billiards group, MGN group, Jalandhar Golf Club, BC group and Gymkhana Warriors are endorsing the Achievers group.

The tremendous work carried out by the Achievers group in their previous term is the main reason to get such enormous support from city residents. 

Tarun Sikka (contesting for Honorary Secretary), shared, “In last two years, we worked for the club by keeping in mind that a member should feel proud and a guest should feel honoured when entering this club. And, somehow, we feel that we are lucky that God was so kind to us that we were able to fulfill all our achievements. During Covid times, when everything was shut, we still kept on working. People used to question our capabilities to run the club, now; the same people applaud our achievements and call them exemplary!! I feel members will vote for us as they are smart enough to select the right group for the club.”

The elections will take place on 19th December. But, with such great support, it seems quite clear that Achievers' group strength will be acknowledged by the people of Jalandhar city and will bring them to power again.

The Achievers group members have unanimously announced the panel of four candidates. The four members include Tarun Sikka for Honorary Secretary, Amit Kukreja for Junior Vice-President, SPS Virk for Treasurer and Saurabh Khullar for the post of Joint Secretary.

Apart from these four candidates, the Achievers group has announced the names of executive members, which include Dr. Naresh Batla, Mr. Harpreet Singh (Goldy), Mr. Nitin Behl, Mr. Atul Talwar, Mr. Mohinder Singh among others.
