Chief guest and city MLA Tarachand Jain, in his keynote address, said, “The values imparted to girls uplift three generations. By choosing this spiritual path, these young women are progressing toward a noble life, and they deserve congratulations.” He mentioned past contributions by Pandit Ratan Chand Bharill and Dr. Hukam Chand Bharill, who promoted scriptural learning and spiritual camps in Jaipur. He emphasized the need for such initiatives today to counter the growing influence of Western culture.
MLA Jain also shared that for the last 33 years, he has renounced underground vegetables and evening meals, proving that one can live successfully by adopting Jain conduct. “Ultimately, only knowledge and values will accompany us,” he added.
