      TO Make Society Prosperous
      Los  Angeles, California, Nov. 23 2016 
        NRIpress.club  /Ramesh/Dr. S. Gupta/Gary Singh Grewal
      Avadhesh  Agarwal, who organized the 5th Annual WHEF- World Hindu Economic Forum  program at the Hotel Irvine, 17900  Jamboree Road, Irvine, California, USA from November 18 – 20,  2016, told the audience that on  behalf of World Hindu Economic Forum- Los Angeles USA it is my privilege to  Welcome all delegates from USA and from around the World. 
       He further said that the mission of World Hindu  Economic Forum aims to improve the state of Hindus around the globe. This is  accomplished by making society prosperous by bringing Hindus together through  Net Working. Hindu Businesses should be sharing more of their business needs  among each other and bringing collective growth to Hindus. Objective can be  laid down in three simple words. ACQUIRE, GROW AND SHARE. All other Communities  of the world are having similar forums like World Jewish Economic Forum and  World Chinese Economic Forum. These Forums have continued growing with time,  amassing many members and gaining strength through numbers and resources. It is  our desire that World Hindu Economic Forum grows exponentially and make an  impact by bringing Hindus in closure contacts world-wide. 
      Giving an example of Chinese expansion of business soared  within few decades, he said:
      
        - 
          
Chinese work on the principle of  equality, respect for every one and working together.
         
        - 
          
Indian  Industrialists, Scientists and Engineers have continuously proven their prowess  on their respective fronts, but the final output remain very week because of no  unity. 
         
       
       There should be no place for non-cooperation,  biases and unsympathetic attitude in Hindu society. We must thoroughly examine  barriers with open mind and creatively think of ways to overcome them.
      This is time  to eliminate classes in which Hindu society has been divided and treat all  equally. 
      Mentioning his experience in Import/ Export  as a Successful businessman in US, he said, “I had opportunity of  visiting too many Countries and in most of every Country I noticed that  President of Company and driver of the Company had no trouble in sharing Dinner  and Lunches on one table. 
      
        - 
          
It  is time for us to remove barriers and show all are equal and every role being  played by individuals is equally important for rise of Hindu Society. This will  help bring community together and without any humiliation and every one will  work for excellence in their own field resulting in exponential growth
         
        - 
          
Western  civilization is relatively new compared to ours. They have Philanthropic  values. We must learn Philanthropic values from West which are so important for  happy and peaceful society
         
        - 
          
President  Kennedy once said “If free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot  save few who are rich”.
         
        - 
          
Chanakya  the Greatest said that make money with 100 hands and share with 1000 hands.
         
       
      This is the only way WE CAN REGAIN  OUR PAST GLORY AND BECOME WORLD LEADER again.  .....Read More Agarwals
