JAMMU, Jan 27: Usha Vohra, First Lady, observed that women are pivotal to a family and play a potent role in character building of their children.
She said this on the occasion of “Ladies Cultural Programme” organized by Department of Youth Services and Sports, as a part of Republic Day celebrations at Gulshan Ground here.
Emphasizing the importance of women in parenting a child, the First Lady said that it is the mother who appeals more to a child during the initial years of infancy and if she imbues her children with the right values and discipline, then a child would grow up to be an asset for the family and society.
