Respected Principal, my teachers, and friends! Today we have assembled here to celebrate ‘Mother’s Day’. I am going to tell you about the place of mother in the family’.
Great philosopher Dr Radhakrishnan once said, “God could not be everywhere and therefore He made mothers.” Mother is the name of God on the lips and in the hearts of little children. For her power of creation, mother has been compared to God.
A child, first of all, comes in contact with his mother. A mother teaches her child to speak. She holds his finger and teaches him how to move its feet. She is a producer, a protector, a provider, a power of tolerance, and an embodiment of love and affection. She always has enough enthusiam to carry out her duties, to take care of her children and make sacrifices for them. Without mother, a home is no better than a jungle.
We all know that today’s girl would be tomorrow’s mother. Then why there is large-scale discrimination against women? Why are women treated as second class citizens? Why is the desire for a son so strong in every family in India? We even deny the girl child the right to be born. Can we dream of a society with just male population?
All such discrimination against a girl or a woman should be stopped. She should be duly respected and well rewarded for her services and sacrifices for the family.
Thanks.
