While highlighting the role of women in everyone’s life, the Chief Minister said that they say that “Behind every successful man there is a woman” and my mother has been a large part of the success and the position where I have been able to reach today.

Sharing his personal experience, Sh. Manohar Lal said that when he had passed the 10th standard and desired to pursue further education, his father had denied him the same, it was his mother who gave him Rs. 300 to get admission in college.

“I dedicate my success to my mother, if she would have not given me money to pursue my higher education then I might have not reached this position,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.

The Chief Minister said that instead of celebrating International Women’s Day, this day should be celebrated as ‘Mahila Samman Diwas’.
