The Jodhpuri Heart, Vision for Jodhpur

Why do you care about a place? What makes you emotionally attached to it? Why does Shri Ghewar Chand Kanunga love Jodhpur? These are some of the things we set out to discover. You care about a place because you feel at home in it. Because it shelters you. Because it inspires you. Because it makes you happy. Because it gives you peace. These are some of the simple but significant reasons cities go from being a mere agglomeration of roads and structures to, in many ways, an extension of self. This is how Shri Ghewar Chand Kanunga feels about Jodhpur. It is an extension of his dignified and giving self. It is home. It is his happy place. It inspires him. It is his muse. It is his repository of memories. It is where he found himself as a business person. It is what pushed him to explore his charitable side. It is what nurtured his vision for the future. Jodhpur is the jewel he treasures most. It is why Shri Ghewar Chand Kanunga cares so much about Jodhpur and wants it to become an even more glorious than the city it already is.

Shri Ghewar Chand Kanunga doesn’t demand much from life, but he expects more from the people of Jodhpur. He would like them to work towards making it the cleanest city in India. He wants the educational facilities in Jodhpur to reach for the sky. He dreams that the children of Jodhpur will dream big. He envisions a time when Jodhpur will be known as more than just one of the most hospitable place in the world. He sees it as a city that is more than the most favoured destination for the best handicrafts in the world. Put simply, he aspires for it to be among the great cities of the world. Can you and me help fill his Jodhpuri heart with pride and satisfaction by turning Jodhpur into one of the great cities of the world? We can. We must. And we will. Let’s begin today.
