Maganbhai also was a very religious and philanthropic person and he dedicated his entire life towards the betterment of the Oshwal community.  He emphasized on Education in general and he arranged several fund raisers for community institutions. He was also deeply involved in religious activities surrounding Maharaj Sahebs and derasars.

Maganbhai was an inspiration to many and an example of a life worth living.  May his soul rest in peace!
