HOJAI, Aug 18: “Marwari Yuva Manch is not an organisation, it’s a family that believes in harmony, peace, and brotherhood,” said Pankaj Jalan, provincial president of Purvottar Pradeshiya Marwari Yuva Manch, while addressing an august gathering in Hojai on Thursday.
He noted that the organisation now has 106 branches in the north-east with 8,000 registered members. Jalan emphasised that the motto of PPMYM and its branches is social service for everyone, which includes regular blood donation camps, the installation of drinking water purifiers at public places, mega plantation drives, ambulance services, food distribution, open state-level competitions for youths, free health check-up camps, flood relief distribution, and many other welfare initiatives. “The objective is clear: the overall welfare of people, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, or community,” he added.
