Speaking at the event, Rafi emphasized the importance of quality education and strong moral values for the younger generation. He praised the current Dravidian model government led by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for its inclusive approach towards all communities.
As a member of the Minority Commission, Rafi outlined several initiatives for minority-dominated areas in Coimbatore. These include:
1. Establishing a government bank in the region
2. Opening a maternity hospital
3. Upgrading existing government primary schools to high schools
Rafi assured that he would bring these matters to the government's attention and work towards their swift implementation.
The event also saw the launch of free self-defense and yoga classes for underprivileged children. This initiative aims to guide the current generation away from negative influences and provide them with valuable life skills.
Rafi inaugurated these classes and congratulated the volunteers involved in the program. The Jeeva Shanthi Foundation, in collaboration with the Inter-Religious Harmony Movement, continues to play a significant role in promoting social welfare and communal harmony in the region.
