Our beloved Imam Sir Sultan Mohammad Shah (A. S.) graciously blessed the Jamat with his Didar at Limbdi (Vadhvan) in Gujarat in 1938. During this visit, the Imam had a meeting with president of all the councils and jamati leaders across India in the Royal Palace of the king of Princely State of Vadhvan. Late Itmadi Ladjibhai Jivan Patel of Meloj and Itmadi Vajirbhai Aliji Maknojia of Meta represented Sidhpur at this meeting. The Imam enquired about the Jamat across India to the leaders present there.Leaders from Sidhpur humbly submitted to the Imam that the Jamat in Sidhpur and surrounding areas was financially very weak and lacked in education. Imam benevolently provided guidance to the leaders from Sidhpur to establish a co-op bank to provide financial support to the Jamat and a boarding to facilitate better education to the children. Imam graciously granted a amount of Rs. 30,000 from His Highness the Aga Khan Golden Jubilee Gold Grant Committee as a grant towards this cause. Our leaders respectfully accepted the Farman and gave commitment to act as guided by the Imam.
