President’s Message
Jai Jinendra and Pranam,

Looking ahead, we intend to complete the ongoing capital projects and I am confident that we will complete them satisfactorily. As an Organisation we have grown so much over the last 10 years and with such growth, will invariably mean that as an Association we need to discuss the future of the structure of our OAUK to ensure the next generations of Oshwals are able to build and strengthen OAUK further. Over the next two years we will be tackling the various issues and bring the changes and improvements to the operation of the Association.
