Jain community : Its various Problems,
not shut our eyes. Keeping the high ideals of our revered saint, ably explained by his desciple Achárya Shri Vijayavalla bhsuri, we must march forward for ordered progress.
Our problems are many and varied too. I offer a few suggestions to the pioneers of the Jain community. (1) The establishment of a Jain central bank with branches all
over India for expanding trade and commerce. (2) Releiving unemployment amongst Jains by helping them to
secure suitable jobs and agreeable business. (3) To find out ways and means for the proper utilisation of big
charitable funds for improving the educational and industrial
position of the Jain community. (4) To provide special provisions for higher technical and industrial
training. (5) To maintain the high tradition of religion and culture bereft of
useless and meaningless squabbles over minor and trivial matters. (6) To cultivate broad and noble ideals for rousing national and
civil consciousness amongst the whole community. 7) To make strenuous efforts for achieving unity and uniformity
amongst the whole community.
It is necessary to have a broad outlook in the fulfilment of the various ideals for the moral and material progress of the community. The best way of celebrating the centenary of our revered saint is to unite all forces for raising the cultural and material outlook of the community.
