Prayagraj: Heartily welcomed and felicitated the country’s eminent entrepreneurs and office bearers of Vaishya International who attended the first state convention of Vaishya International Association held today on the holy land of Prayagraj, the city of religion, culture and spirituality. On this occasion, a modern handcart distribution program was also organized to empower 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 districts were provided with modern handcarts, Rs 10k and all the material for 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.
