– 18 high profile organizations were honoured with Outstanding Service Awards by Maha All India Marwari Federation.
– Renowned Poets captivated the audience at the Kavi Sammelan
Speaking as the Chief Guest at the Maha All India Marwari Sammelan’s foundation day at the GD Birla Auditorium, Jorasanko MLA Vivek Gupta congratulated the Sammelan on its new beginnings and said that the Marwari community is prosperous, and it just needs to be united. There is considerable fragmentation within the Marwari community, and this fragmentation must be brought together. There is a contradiction between the old and new generations, and for the benefit of society, the coming generation must be brought together.
Vivek Gupta said, “I am also a Marwari, this is my identity and will remain so. I face some challenges, which is why Marwaris are considered weak.”
He praised the efforts of Kishan Killa, National General Secretary of the Maha All India Marwari Federation, and said that the Sammelan’s campaign to unite the community is commendable. We are all ready to help in every possible way. There is a need to move society towards a new future.
