The far-sightness, zeal and the readiness to learn the regional language that Virchandbhai showed in bringing about compromises of the problems at Shatrunjaya, the animal fat-factory at Sametshikhar and the problem of Makshiji Tirtha, indicates a unique ability, as necessary in to-day's atmosphere as it was then. His readiness to find solutions with the help of documentary - proof and a little tolerance as and when required can act as a lighthouse in the stormy condition of the society to-day.
Innumerable Salutations to this illustratious son of Mother India.
