US President Barack Obama has appointed Indian American management consultant Anju Bhargava, who is also an ordained pujari, as the member of a faith-based advisory council of the White House.
The council is part of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighbourhood Partnerships and includes religious and secular leaders and scholars from different backgrounds as its members.

The office acts as a resource for nonprofits and community organisations, both secular and faith based, looking for ways to make a bigger impact in their communities, learn their obligations under the law, cut through red tape, and make the most of what the federal government has to offer.
Bhargava is the second Indian American to be appointed to the council after Eboo S Patel, founder and executive director of Interfaith Youth Core in Chicago. Both appointments are for one year.
