The Vishwamangalya Sabha organized its inaugural event, the Janpratinidhi Matru Sammelan, in Mumbai to emphasize the crucial role women play in family and society. Held at the Y N Chavan Centre in Nariman Point, the convention featured 150 women elected representatives and wives of public officials from Maharashtra. Prominent attendees included Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde, Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse, MLC Chitra Wagh, social worker Manju Lodha, and Rupal Mafatlal, Director of Mafatlal Industries.
The event's theme, "Stree - Parivar Ki Shakti Se Leke, Rashtra Ki Shakti Tak" (Empowering Women from Home to Nation), aimed to highlight the essential contributions women make in maintaining positive values, responsible parenting, and social awareness within their families and communities.
Mayor Tawde noted that women political leaders often face three times the challenges their male counterparts do while managing both public duties and family responsibilities. She highlighted the unsung support women provide to political families, citing the significant role played by wives, mothers, and sisters in ensuring a stable home environment for their male leaders.
Union Minister Khadse encouraged women in public roles to leverage their influence to promote positive family values, asserting that nurturing strong, value-based households is paramount to building a progressive nation. The importance of a supportive family structure was emphasized by MLC Wagh, who called for the revival of the joint-family system, viewing the family as the "first school" for imparting values to children.
Social worker Manju Lodha stressed the pivotal role mothers play in shaping the next generation, reinforcing that motherhood is not just about raising children but also about instilling core values, outlooks, and conduct. Dr. Vrushali Joshi of Vishwamangal Sabha explained that the organization's initiatives aim to connect with women nationwide, focusing on socially driven programs grounded in the principles of motherhood.
