He also called upon the community youth to excel academically and as entrepreneurs. "Youths should have a vision. When our youth become good leaders, they can take the community forward," he added.

He also explained how this small community had started several medical and engineering colleges in the district. It is also the responsibility of the second generation to take their family business forward, he said.

Vas also advised that that money will come only with effort and dedication for the task taken up.

He wished successful careers for the youths.
