Agarwal

The term "Agarwal" is derived from two words, "Agra" and "wal," where "Agra" refers to the front or foremost position. Maharaja Agrasen's name had "Agra" in it. The name of the city of Agroha was also referred to as Agrayagana. After the destruction of Agroha, the residents dispersed from their city. They spread across various regions of the country, and wherever they settled, they came to be known as "Agarwals" due to their association with Agroha and being considered descendants of Maharaja Agrasen.

Wherever the residents of Agroha went after leaving Agroha, they carried with them the egalitarian ideology of Maharaja Agrasen. They continuously embraced the socialist ideology and kept it close to their hearts. Not only did they preserve it, but they also embodied it in their lives, nurturing their age-old traditions while fulfilling their responsibilities. Even today, they continue to uphold and embody these principles. This is why the people of the Agarwal community are deeply committed to the socialist ethos in every aspect of their lives.

In every member of the Agarwal community, the socialist ideology of Maharaja Agrasen is flowing through their veins. This is why every Agarwal is inherently generous, always remaining loyal and industrious in fulfilling their roles. The saying "simple living and high thinking" has always been meaningful to them. Whatever they have left, they dedicate it selflessly for the welfare of others.

The Agarwal community is engaged in service activities in every sphere of life. They serve as clerks, officers, lawyers, magistrates, judges, accountants, shopkeepers, factory workers, industrialists, legislators, ministers, engineers, scientists, and even farmers. Whenever they achieve even a little prosperity, they fulfill the role of trustees. They bear the expenses themselves and dedicate all their wealth and possessions for the protection and expenditure for the society. This is why wherever you go in the country, you will find institutions established, run, or managed by Agarwals for the welfare of the people, including hospitals, pharmacies, schools, colleges, libraries, dharamshalas (rest houses), temples, wells, ponds, water fountains, and more. All of this is a contribution of Maharaja Agrasen's socialist ideology.
