I have been associated with Shri Mathur Chaturvedi Mahaparishad and Chaturvedi Business Network and found discussions in these groups quite interesting. A lot of social activities are presently happening digitally in form of Whatsapp groups, online meetings, Youtube channels etc. There are offline events e.g. Holi Milan, Chaturvedi Meetings etc which are quite commendable.
I hope with my qualification and experience, I will be able to contribute to progress of Chaturvedi fraternity in a meaningful way and hope that community members will coodinate in meaningful ways and achieve great accomplishments.
