5. In business profit earnings and overall growth of business get the highest
priority and are certainly creditable, but ultimate credibility of business
enterprise, particularly of larger ones is in the utilization of profit, be it for
best possible upliftment of its workforce and for espousing Social, National
Development causes or for rendering services to mankind as a whole.
Fulfilling the Qualitative aspect of utilization of profit, the world's largest
family ‘Sahara India Pariwar' is proud to have reached today new horizons
of growth and development.
On the basis of our philosophy of Collective Materialism we have always
given importance to the fact that profit earning is the Quantitative aspect
whereas the proper utilization of profit is the Qualitative aspect. Ironically,
we only recognise and get recognised by the Quantitative aspect.
I, therefore earnestly appeal to one and all in Politics, Media, Business etc.
that every action, reaction, selection, appreciation or criticism should be
oriented strictly towards the Qualitative aspect. I appeal to anybody and
everybody to accord top priority to Qualitative aspect in anything and
everything for peaceful, prosperous and progressive co-existence of
mankind anywhere and everywhere.
Today, I feel proud of the fact that I am the Guardian of the World's largest
family. Perhaps, I am the world's only person whose family is so vast, so
disciplined, so dedicated and so committed. Such a vast family as Sahara
India Pariwar has a grand and infinite future and I am sure that we will
sustain our duty, consciousness, discipline and dutifulness with a sense of
dedication, as we have always done in the past, so that together we could
build an India full of energy and radiance.
