“Women Alone Can Show the Right Direction to Families and Society” – Minister Chandrakant Patil

Mansi Initiative’s Quarterly Get-Together Celebrated with Enthusiasm

Pune: Stating that women alone have the ability to guide families and society in the right direction, State Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil made these remarks while addressing the gathering. He also mentioned that the Mansi initiative was launched with the objective of strengthening women both physically and mentally.

The quarterly get-together of the Mansi initiative, started in Kothrud under the concept of Hon. Chandrakant Patil, was held today with great enthusiasm. On this occasion, Mansi Initiative Director Mugdha Bhagwat, Corporator Manjushree Khardekar, Manisha Butala, Adv. Mitali Sawalekar, entrepreneur Smita Patil, Prof. Dr. Anuradha Edke, Adv. Prachi Bagate, along with a large number of women and mothers, were present.

Hon. Chandrakant Patil stated that the country’s popular Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have always given priority to women empowerment. This is because women have the power to guide not only families but society as a whole. By imparting the right values to children, women can nurture a responsible and cultured generation. If women are provided with all necessary support and resources at the right time during their growth, they can significantly contribute to building a value-driven society. The Mansi initiative has been started with this very objective, aiming to create and channel positive energy among women.

He further added that excessive mobile phone usage has become common in every household, leading to reduced communication among family members. He appealed that families should keep their mobile phones aside for at least 20 minutes a day and engage in meaningful conversations. He also emphasized the importance of educating young children through stories as a medium of learning and value-building.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere was filled with devotion through soulful devotional songs performed by renowned singer Amol Patwardhan. Additionally, the melodious and inspiring discourse by scholar Dr. Dhanashree Lele provided the audience with positive and motivational guidance.
