I believe in \u0924\u0947\u0930\u093e \u0924\u0941\u091d\u0915\u094b \u0905\u0930\u094d\u092a\u0923 (meaning \u2018I offer what is yours to you\u2019) and have chosen the path of serving Mother Earth, regardless of whether or not anyone notices. I have never wished for appreciation and praise; all I wanted was to help the villages. I thank the villagers, government, families, and all those who supported and allowed me to serve and accomplish things I wanted to do for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe success I&#8217;ve been rewarded by nature is because of the sheer determination and hard work done in the last 4 years by me, and the team of \u2018Dholakia Foundation\u2019 (that) helped me a lot to make this magical thing happen. We worked more than I could do in the past 40 years. I had the belief that whatever I was doing would not go in vain, and that inspired me to accomplish more and more for my country. I admit that this is the happiest moment of my life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the grace of God, the blessings of elders, and the unwavering support of my family, I earned this honour. I\u2019m grateful to all of you who\u2019ve embarked on my journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"877\" height=\"340\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13624 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01.jpg 877w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-768x298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-450x174.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-225x87.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-20x8.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/savjibhai-01-248x96.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><figcaption>Savjibhai Dholakia takes a hands-on approach to social work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Padma Awards \u2013 conferred in three categories, namely, Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri \u2013 are the country\u2019s highest civilian awards.
