I thank the entire JITO fraternity for the faith and trust placed in me and for allowing me the honour of serving my community through JITO.I am truly humbled.

I appreciate the efforts of the preceding office bearers specially the Chairman - Shri Tejrajji Gulecha and the President - Shri Rakeshhji Mehta for their relentless efforts in taking JITO to greater heights. Their commendable efforts have set a very high bench mark for others to follow.

I am indeed happy to have an able ally in Shri Motilal ji Oswal as the Chairman, whose past contribution in JITO is well appreciated, we, as a team, will ensure that with our efforts and your cooperation JITO will achieve new peaks.

“Rome was not built in a day”, certainly not! but then it was only built because some people had a vision and others had faith in their vision. We certainly have the vision of making JITO an intelligent, autonomous and constitutional organisation with a self-driven model for eternal existence propelled by the common vision of economic empowerment, educational accomplishments and social upliftment.

JITO has a lot of intellectual appeal due to its vision and so far we have succeeded in bringing the intellectual community together but if a tree has to grow stronger its roots have to run deeper. A mass movement can only succeed with mass participation We must now reach out to the masses in our community , involve them in the movement and ensure that all Jains irrespective of their economic, intellectual or regional reach are the beneficiaries of this revolution and vice versa.

In the next few weeks we would like to have a brain-storming session for defining next level of activities to be undertaken by JITO and the strategies for implementing the same. I invite all my Jain brethren to come, join, participate and rejoice in its success. We would work in unanimity with all the chapters and members and achieve unprecedented results with your support and participation.

The joy of having contributed in a social cause, in whatever way, is far greater than anything else in this world. I invite you to partake in making this movement epic and leave behind a legacy for our future generations to cherish.
