11 Jan (HS): Heartily welcomed and felicitated the country's eminent

entrepreneurs and office bearers of Vaishya International who attended the

holy land of Prayagraj, the city of religion, culture and spirituality. On this

and make the people of Vaishya community self-reliant and to save them from the

clutches of moneylenders. In which, along with Prayagraj, 21 people from other

business to make them self-reliant. Not only this, cheques were given to five

families of Vaishya community as financial assistance.

The

first state convention of the Vaishya International Association discussed the

upliftment of the Vaishya community, as well as the development of trade and industry,

the state's economic progress, and other topics. The Vaishya community has

always carried forward the glorious traditions, service, and values ​​of its

ancestors. Following in the footsteps and ideals of its ancestors, the Vaishya

International Association is moving forward in social service.

Officials,

including Kent RO owner Mahesh Gupta, Haldiram Group's Manohar Lal Agarwal, and

Crystal Group's Chairman Nand Kishore Agarwal, said that money is required to

run any business and support one's family. Due to not being covered under bank

regulations, people become trapped by moneylenders and are unable to escape

this quagmire. Recently, two businessmen in Shahjahanpur and Pratapgarh

committed suicide due to pressure from moneylenders. The Vaishya International

Association's goal is to rescue such individuals from the clutches of

moneylenders, provide financial assistance, and empower them with

self-reliance. This initiative allows them to expand their businesses and

support their families. Modern carts are being provided to enable them to earn

a living while practicing business with dignity.

Minister

Nandi said that no one in society should be forced to take a suicidal step due

to any calamity, accident, or poverty; no one should be forced to hang

themselves after being entangled in the trap of usury and debt; no one should

suffer the intimidation of thugs and mafia; no one should lose their life at

the hands of criminals; no one, despite being hardworking and self-respecting,

should curse fate for their plight; no promising son or daughter should have to

abandon their studies due to lack of money. To achieve this, capable and

affluent members of society must come forward. As a family, we must connect

ourselves with the pain and suffering of society. Minister Nandi said that the

objective of the Vaishya International Association is not merely to provide

financial assistance to the needy; rather, the goal is to make them

self-reliant by connecting them with business.
