Rising matchmaking challenges prompt community to take collective action

JIND: Finding a suitable match for marriage has become a major challenge in Haryana and many other states due to skewed gender ratios, reduced role of intermediaries, nuclear family structures, and various other reasons. To address this issue, the 'All India Aggarwal Society of Haryana' will organize a grand event in Jind on September 7 and registration for the same has been started.

Hundreds of eligible young men and women will gather at this matrimonial meet, where they will have the opportunity to choose their preferred life partners. Applications have already started pouring in from various states, said Rajkumar Goyal.

A meeting of the All India Aggarwal Society’s Jind district unit was held in this regard, presided over by Rajkumar Goyal, the State President of the Aggarwal Society and the chief organizer of this grand program. Prominent attendees included Sawar Garg, Ramdhan Jain, Pawan Bansal, Sonu Jain, Manish Garg, Rajat Singla, Bajrang Singla, Gopal Jindal, Sushil Singla, Rajesh Goyal, Jai Bhagwan Singla, Naresh Aggarwal, and Subhash Dahoala.

In the meeting, it was unanimously decided that considering the community’s needs, a historic matrimonial introduction conference for eligible Aggarwal boys and girls will be held at a North India level in Jind on September 7. More than 250 registration centers to be set up across Haryana, said Goyal.

Goyal stated that this will be the largest matrimonial meet ever organized. Thousands of community members are expected to attend. Dozens of national leaders from the Aggarwal community across the country will be present as chief guests. Apart from Haryana's registration centers, similar facilities will be available in neighboring states like Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, and Punjab. The main aim of this conference is to introduce eligible individuals, strengthen the matrimonial network within the community, promote social harmony, and provide the younger generation with a strong marriage platform. Participation in the conference will be restricted to members of the Aggarwal community, he added.

Just like in other communities, the Agarwal community is also beginning to face challenges in arranging marriages. Issues such as dowry and other social factors have led to significant difficulties in forming matrimonial alliances. This is precisely why this major step has been taken.

During this conference, participants will have the opportunity to get to know each other, and a special booklet will be prepared featuring the profiles of all those taking part in the event. This booklet will later be distributed among the community so that individuals can connect based on their preferences and requirements.

Other communities should also consider organizing such events, as they provide a valuable opportunity for individuals to interact and make the matchmaking process easier. Unlike earlier times, the era of matchmakers is no longer prevalent. Nowadays, very few intermediaries come forward to help arrange marriages, which makes such events the need of the hour, he added.

Society officials Ramdhan Jain and Sawar Garg emphasized that such matrimonial conferences are the need of the hour. They not only make it easier to find a suitable match but also help combat issues like dowry. They explained that participating in these conferences eliminates many challenges such as searching for a match and conducting traditional "viewings." For those who have lost their spouse due to untimely death or divorce, this platform offers a dignified and practical solution for remarriage. Taking all such needs into consideration, the Aggarwal community has decided to organize this grand matrimonial event in Jind, they said.
