Following the announcement, all district conveners will now work under the guidance of Anar Patel.

The organisation is engaged in activities related to social service, education, healthcare, and initiatives aimed at strengthening social unity.

While I respect Anandiben Patel's contributions, appointments like this always make me wonder about meritocracy. Are there no other capable leaders within the organisation's vast network? I hope her work speaks for itself and proves this was the right choice.

Khodaldham's work in Saurashtra is truly commendable. If Anar Patel can effectively coordinate across 31 districts and strengthen their social unity programs, it will be a great service to Gujarat. The grassroots network is their biggest strength.

As someone from Rajkot, I've seen Khodaldham's impact firsthand. The trust needs strong leadership to manage its scale. Anar Patel's challenge will be to connect with the village-level conveners and understand ground realities, not just manage from the top.
