Concept

Mother's Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. This day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year and is an occasion to show your affection, respect and care towards your mother.

In the spirit of celebrating Mother’s day, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India is organizing a Contest inviting stories about mothers. The Contest shall commence from 8th May, 2016 for a month long duration, ending on 6th June, 2016.

The concept of this campaign is to promote the idea of children sharing anecdotes/ stories about their mother who has defied gender stereotypes, raised her voice against gender discrimination and championed the cause of gender equality and empowerment. This story should have left a long lasting impact and consequently led to a change in the mindset of her family and/or the community at large. The premise is based on the fact that relationship with mother is one of the closest and may be a strong influencer in shaping behaviours and attitudes of her children. A mother is also a source of inspiration and a role model for her children. When an anecdote/story is narrated about a mother, it can be used as a catalyst to bring about a positive change in societal mindset. This may further lead to a more gender sensitive society which recognizes the contributions of a mother, in particular and women, in general.

The objective of the contest is to engage with larger audience through sharing of stories about mothers, thereby encouraging inter-generational dialogue, sensitizing men and boys, being a role model for an empowered daughter. This also creates an opportunity for open conversations against gender discrimination, inequality and dis-empowerment, which in turn leads to a positive mindset change in the society.

Some of the suggested themes are gender equality and empowerment, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, domestic violence, social evils like dowry and early marriage and so on.

मुझे मेरे माता पिता के नाम से गैर सरकारी संगठन की स्थापना करना है, जिससे मैं असहाय और वंचित लोगों की मदद कर सकूं जो मेरे पिताजी के लिए एक श्रद्धांजली होगी।जिसके लिए मेरी माँ ने मुझे समाज कार्य से स्ातकोत्तर करवाया।मेरे पिताजी की पहली बरसी हैं 17 जून को और पिताजी के पहली बरसी पर पिताजी और मां को एक सरकारी कर्मचारी के रूप में मुझे दिखाना है।उनकी बहुत ख्वाहिश थी कि मैं सरकारी नौकरी हासिल करू। दो इंटरव्यू दिए हैं मैंने बस भगवान से प्रार्थना है कि पिताजी के बरसी तक खुश खबरी दे सकूं मां और पिताजी को।

माँ का दुसरा नाम त्याग हैं अपने बच्चों व परिवार की खुशियों के लिए। मेरी माँ भगवान की साक्षात मुरत है।आज मेरी माँ यदि न होती मेरे साथ तब मैं जिंदगी में कुछ हासिल नहीं कर पाती।मेरी माँ ने स्वयं कभी विद्यालय का मुहं नहीं देखा उसके बावजूद मुझे उन्होंने स्ातकोत्तर की ऊपाधि दिलवाई,आगे पढने के लिये दिल्ली भेजा है जबकि मेरे भाई 10वी की भी परीक्षा नहीं पास कर पाए।माँ ने हमेशा मुझे हौसला दिया जबकि आज मेरी माँ बहुत अकेली हो गई हैं,पिताजी नहीं रहे।बस मेरी माँ की यही ख्वाहिश हैं कि मै सरकारी अफसर बन जाऊँ।

My mother from a middle class family has fight always against all male members of a big family at village ,which were effected by drinking wine. She also manage finance for study of their children by saving some money from selling crop ,some times she require extra money to run family then she takes loan from other women's in the village in 70s. That time her education was not sufficient to do something for the family and govt. schemes were also not available in 70s. Which are now available .
