________________ YOXYC şii1&1121 EXDYOXO vows meant for the Jaina recluse on the other. Some Jaina sects have already made such a provision. Others should follow suit. (16) Comprehensive databases of members of Jaina community need to be maintained wherein information of financial conditions, marital status, age, sex, geographical area of residence, etc. should be incorporated. Information retrieved from such database can be utilized for implementing schemes like subsidized health care facility, economy housing schemes, employment schemes, marriage match making, empanelment of professionals for charitable organizations etc. (17) Compassion towards the needy human beings should be given priority over other creatures, but it is often noticed that while insects, birds and animals are treated with a lot of compassion, human beings are ignored and their genuine primary needs also remain un addressed. Human beings in distress and agony are left to fend for themselves under the cover of the law of Karman while welfare activities for other creatures gain priority in allocation of resources. It is hoped that brainstorming sessions are initiated at different levels to find solutions for the multifarious problems of Jain community and implement the same to the extent possible to revitalize and empowe the community.
