& Hon. Secretary of Parihar
First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for being entrusted with the critical role of secretary in PARIHAR. We have come a long way since its establishment by its initial pillars.
The past office bearers who nurtured it, toiled hard to take PARIHAR to where it proudly stands today. Its growing popularity is evident in the organisation’s increasing strength and extended measures it has taken to positively transform thousands of individuals and families.
After taking the baton from the previous governing body members, who had done an excellent job, we continue to strive to take PARIHAR to new heights.
We have tried to successfully implement this organisation’s vision and mission. We eagerly look forward to continue to work with more zeal and enthusiasm for the deserving sections of society through PARIHAR.
