We discussed wide range of issues facing our community.
Media Power
Talking about media, Bharatbhai said �public relations are a potent tool for shaping Samaj perception. We should actively promote our community activities by using the media tool that can build publicity for the community in both online and print media�.

Yes it is true that with the current trend, there will not be a Parajiya Pattni Samaj that we know today but am confident that a new progressive Samaj will evolve.
