From Editor/Webmaster:
Like father, like son: Rameshbhai follows in his father's footsteps
Rameshbhai’s father, Mohanbhai Nathoobhai Ghaghada was a pioneering founder member of what we now call the Parajiya Pattni Association (PPA). He took over the role of President and retained the post until 1979. Now Rameshbhai has followed his father’s footsteps to lead the community.
New president and a new committee will inevitably result in new ideas and new enthusiasm. It is nice to see to see the past office bearer remain in the new committee.
I am sure that under Rameshbhai’s leadership the new committee will harness all these experiences and play pivotal role regionally, nationally and also internationally.
As a coordinating committee member, on behalf of the Federation, I invite Rameshbhai and the PPA Leicester committee to play a leading role to represent Team GB (
Once again, congratulations to President Rameshbhai Mohanlal Nathoobhai and the new committee.
Pattni Connection website is fully at the committee’s disposal to promote its activities.

Ashwinbhai’s service to the community
Ashwinbhai Govindji has a long standing family history serving our community so his roots are deeply ingrained. Ashwinbhai has served as the PPA National President, Regional president and as a trustee for many years. He has decided to step down now.
