About fifteen years ago, Prakash Mody initiated the membership of the Jain religion and served in different capacity including two years as a Treasurer and retired recently from OMC and several other social services organizations. He fulfilled the OMC’s motto of “One Purpose Many Faiths” and worked hard for the issues of the minority faiths. He was awarded by province, local Jain organization as well as JAINA, North American Jain parent body.
