 The need for socio-economic transformation has always been advocated by our great leaders like Lok Nayak Jaya Prakesh Narayan. The Trust is undoubtedly playing its significant role to achieve this objective.

 I am extremely happy to learn that The Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust is engaging itself in multifarious activities aimed at further upliftment of Gurjars and Bakerwals. While the Govt. has taken several steps for improving the lot of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, there is need for voluntary organizations to supplement these efforts. Such organizations can help create awareness among these tribes with a view to further integrating them into the national mainstream.

 It is heartening to know that voluntary organizations like Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust, are supplementing the efforts of the government agencies to promote the welfare of the Gujjars and are working constructively for the preservation and advancement of the Gujjar culture. It is important that backward, nomadic or semi nomadic communities in Jammu and Kashmir do not face any discrimination and neglect in the future and find their due place in the social, economic and political life of the state.

 It has been my life-long endeavour to work for the upliftment of the backward and downtrodden, but vast community of Gujjars. It is, therefore, a dream come true for me to see the Gujjar Charitable Trust Centre develop and come of age. I offer nothing less than my best wishes to the Centre.

The efforts of the Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust for the transformation of the Gujjar community and bringing them out of the morass of social, education and economic backwardness are praise-worthy. It is perhaps the only NGO, which has done a yeoman’s, service to the people in general and Gujjars in particular.

It is heartening to note that a group of social Workers have launched a non-political Gujjar Desh Charitable Trust for the social-economic upliftment of the Gujjar and Bakerwal communities. The socio-economic upliftment of these communities is uppermost in the mind of the State Government also. Assistance from voluntary organizations like Gujjar Desh Charitable Trust will supplement the efforts of the Government in amelioration of the conditions of these communities.

The brave and hardy community of Gujjars inhabit the less accessible and hospitable areas of the State. This makes the delivery of the fruits of development to them in full measures that much more difficult. Non-governmental agencies such as this Trust can make a notable contribution in bringing about the general betterment in the living standards of the Gujjar community.

I am very happy to visit the establishment of Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust and all the activity profile in which it is engaged. What has impressed me immensely is the consummate dedication of the members of the Trust and innate commitment to fructify the objectives they have espoused for the welfare and development of Gujars, their language and literature.
I also participated in the major event of release of three books published under the aegis of the Trust. Such a type of NGOs can promote the spirit of voluntary effort and mainstream the Gujjars with the developmental process. I wish the Trust all the best to its endeavours and activity.

Gurjar Charitable Trust has done amazing work since its inception within a very short time. The wealth of material that it has collected is extremely rare and of great scholarly value. In fact there is hardly any other institution that has done similar work. I feel proud that I have been associated with the community and various phases of its movement for the last three generations. The educated and enlightened leadership has not only done a very constructive work for the community but also made a positive and valuable contribution to its socio-cultural life. I hope that my dream of seeing this community playing a role of promoting harmony and goodwill between the vast diversity of various communities of the State will certainly fructify. My service would be at its disposal as they have always seen.

I am happy that Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust has already registered its presence on public mind by promoting the cause of education. It makes one proud to learn that in this highly privatized competitive world there are organizations like Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust which are expanding educational service to the weaker and disadvantaged sections of the society with an admirable degree of devotion and dedication. 
I cannot help mentioning here that Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust is on way to making unprecedented progress because a dedicated and devoted visionary like Shri Masud A. Choudhary is at its back. He has the ability and the courage to make things happen in unbelievably short time with precision and exactitude.
After a spacious and modern school complex besides a chain of other educational institutions providing opportunities of modern education to the weaker and disadvantagesd sections of the society and 100-bed Girls Hostel as also a Vocational Centre, now it is the turn of Cultural Complex which I saw coming up during my earlier visit to Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust. It is simply a marvel of architecture the like of which is not to be found any where else in the whole of northern India. I congratulate the progressive management of Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust for the stunning score card. 
The magnificent Cultural complex setup by the Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust is an important milestone on the road to progress of this great community. Let this be a harbinger of change, ushering prosperity for this community. That is my ardent hope and prayer. 
I would like to congratulate the management of Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust that has contributed so immensely to the causes closer to Gurjar community. What is characteristically noteworthy is that Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust has covered a long journey within a very short span of time. Its contribution to the cause of literacy among tribal's in general and Gurjars in particular, focus on healthcare, contribution to documenting of rich history of Gurjars and sustained efforts at preserving the arts and artifacts of the Gurjar community are worthy of mention. 
Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust is covering yet another milestone by proudly inaugurating its multi-crore, multi utility and state of the art Cultural Complex.
I congratulate Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust for having raised an impressive Cultural Complex. When fully operational, it promises to evolve as a melting pot for cultural pluralism. Elsewhere in the country, such inspirational models do get replicated thus setting up healthy tradition of preserving our past.
