Governor Vajubhai R. Vala urged the Jain community to set aside a certain portion of their earnings for the welfare of the community and the society.
Speaking after inaugurating the well-equipped Sri Parshwa Padmavati Aradhana Bhavan built by Babulal Jain, Member of the South Western Zone Rail Users’ Consultative Committee, the Governor said that Jains were wealthy, intelligent and philanthropist and wanted them to think and strive hard for the welfare of the society and mankind by helping the needy, besides ensuring that all are healthy and get good education.
“Jains have not realised about their strength. Once they realise, several Babulal Jains can emerge to take up philanthropy. It is only through donations and philanthropy that a person can come into focus and get the blessings of the people. Set aside a certain portion of the welfare for others”, he said and appealed them to break the internal caste barriers within the community and remain united to serve the needy in the society.
The Governor also underlined the need for the people to respect women and not to underestimate her strength. “She is powerful and capable of inculcating culture among her children and groom them to indulge in nation-building and strive for the welfare of the society”, he said.
P.T. Parmeshwar Naik, Minister of State for Labour and district in-charge, in his address lauded the Jain community for their philanthropy and peace-loving.
Sri Mani Prabhusagarji, Jain muni, Babulal Jain and Sri Sanganabasava Swamiji of Kottur Mutt, also spoke.
