What is even more unique…..? …. Is that the Custodianship continues till today in the Sustainable Development by the House of Mewar What was the strategy in the changing political and geographical scenario…..?

Tomorrow I can see this grow to become a model of self-sufficient and self-reliant, multifaceted enterprise that is able to generate revenues and meet expectations of the people of Udaipur as well as foreign and Indian tourists who visit this historic city and contribute to its growth." Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar (Inheritance 76, 1995) The 76th custodian of the House of Mewar envisaged that all ‘Not for Profit’ and ‘For Profit’ enterprises should collectively carry the continuity of Custodianship and present a role model of Governance and Sustenance for this century. The Eternal Mewar ideantity© has two brackets, which represent custodianship: Their ‘embrace’ is non-intervening, non-interfering and hold two layers of meaning: the red tikka with rice grains, a symbol of welcoming in India, and the rising sun, the first symbol of the House of Mewar It is this overarching vision that integrates the gamut of existing organisations and translates into the 21st century Heritage Brand of Eternal Mewar ORGANISATIONS THE NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATIONS THE FOR PROFIT ORGANISATIONS (Aswara Mataji, Amba Mataji, Mahasatyaji, 1.
