Focus on continuity in carrying out the moral duties was extremely important and it had to run across generations”. -Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar

I am fully conscious, that I may not be able to witness the project’s completion in my lifetime, but I have certainly set an example that others may wish to follow in the future. A future that is so inextricably linked with preserving the legacy of the past.” - Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar

In particular we should treasure the selfless values that have stood the test of time.” - Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar
