A significant meeting of the founding members of the Vaishya International Association (VIA) was held on Friday in Bikaner, Rajasthan, focusing on strengthening community unity, social harmony and the role of the Vaishya community in national development. The meeting took place at Hotel Basant Vihar Palace and was hosted by the Haldiram Group.
Uttar Pradesh’s Minister for Industrial Development Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ attended the gathering and participated in discussions with senior members of the organization and prominent personalities from the Vaishya community.
During the meeting, meaningful deliberations were held on several key issues including unity within the community, strengthening organizational structure, promoting social harmony and enhancing the community’s contribution to the nation’s overall progress.
Addressing the gathering, Minister Nandi stated that the Vaishya community has always played a vital role in India’s economic, social and cultural development through its traditions of entrepreneurship, hard work, service and philanthropy.
