Shri Jai Karan Sharma rose from a small village in Haryana and went on to set up a big company, providing employment to thousands of people. We must aspire to be like him by giving jobs, not seeking jobs. I am happy to see how late Jai Karan Sharma ji`s family is carrying forward his legacy by helping the senior citizens of his home town; I am really proud of the entire family.” While welcoming the minister and other guests, Mukesh Haritash, Director of Chetak Group, said, "We are happy to be at my father`s birthplace.
