Over 200 Christian brothers and sisters attended the event that we hosted in a Bhubaneshwar church, according to Himani Sood, co-founder and professor of the IMF Foundation.
Professor Sood, meanwhile, emphasized how far Indian culture has come on a national and worldwide scale. Indian culture has undoubtedly spread both domestically and globally. I am extremely happy to see how popular Prime Minister Modi’s catchphrase, Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, has become. I’m pleased that this message, stated by Himani Sood, will be heard around the world today from the past entry point of Odisha, Bhubaneshwar: the nation first, religion later. Professor Sood conveyed his satisfaction at seeing the concept of ‘One India, Best India’ embodied in the emphasis on Indianness and India’s essence.
Professor Sood stressed that Prime Minister Modi’s leadership is helping to realize the dream of a better India. “The concept of inclusive growth and unification for everybody is spreading and gaining strength. Himani Sood stated that we witness a reality, rather than a dream, of an improved India emerging from all corners of the globe under the direction of Prime Minister Modi. Earlier on February 5, religious leaders from different minority groups met with Prime Minister Modi and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar in Parliament, delivering a message of unity and harmony. We are all Bharatiya (Indians), and our first priority is our country, declared the 24 leaders of the Indian Minority Foundations after the meeting.
Along with visiting and blessing the new Parliament building, the leaders also prayed for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to serve a third term.
On September 30, 1994, the National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation (NMDFC) was established as a non-profit organization in accordance with Section 25 of the Companies Act 1956 (now Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013). According to the National Commission for Minorities Act of 1992, it is an apex body at the national level for the benefit of minorities.
The primary goal of the NMDFC is to give minority groups access to affordable financing for self-employment and other sources of income. The National Commission for Minorities Act of 1992 lists Muslims, Christians, Sikha, Buddhists, and Paris as the notified minorities. In January 2014, the Jain community was subsequently included in the list of notifying minority communities. Women and artisans are given preference under the NMDFC program.
