3.One Day Seminar State of Primary Education in Pakistan

Primary Education is one of the four sectors addressed under Social Action programme (SAP), which is being implemented by the Government since 1992. The other sectors are primary health, rural water supply and sanitation and population welfare.

In the Primary Education Sector, SAP is aimed at improving enrollment (especially of girls), the quality of education, and promoting the involvement of the private sector and community in organization and delivery of services. The successive Government in power in Pakistan has persistently strived to provide education to every child in the country. There is no doubt that as a result of planned efforts some positive development have taken place in the field of education in Pakistan but the progress in the field of primary education and literacy is far from being satisfactory. Today, in South Asian Region, Pakistan has a very high rate of illiteracy. This situation cannot be tolerated furthermore because it is education and education alone upon which nation’s very survival exists. The SUBAH Quetta decided to hold a symposium on primary education with representation of all the key stake holders. The objective was to deliberate on the critical sect oral aspects and to identify areas were priority intervention was needed under SAP. In particular, the symposium was aimed at

• Fostering a better understanding of the institutional, implementation and cross sect oral issues at all levels of the basic education sector: and
• Formulating specific and practical recommendations for improving implementation of the programme and taking new initiatives in the basic education sector.

 keeping in view the importance of issues, Subah Quetta hold a one day seminar on the topic from its own resources at Mahec Helping Council New Algillani Road Quetta on 10^th-April,2000. The numbers of beneficiaries were 34

4-(3-MONTHS TRAINING FOR MID-WIVES)

It is a admitted fact that with the exception of big cities the birth cases in the country and especially in Balochistan are handled by common mid-wives who have very little knowledge and cannot control if anything happens beyond their knowledge. To improve the situation and to provide safe and healthy services to the needy persons (women fold) Subah Quetta arranged to train the mid-wives on modern lines

The above mentioned training is conducted by Subah Quetta with the help

Of Mahec Helping Council Quetta on Ist-May 2000 to 30^th-July, 2000. The numbers of beneficiaries were 22.

5.One day Seminar on Role of NGOs in Primary Education

There is no institutional mechanism to learn from the successful NGO initiatives involving the community, which have been undertaken both within the country and abroad. In particular, there are large-scale efforts to promote primary education through Government-NGO-community partnership, from which lessons learned can be usefully drawn by the other provinces / areas.

There is no government support to the successful initiatives of smaller NGOs this support may be crucial for the sustainability of their programmes.

The criterion for collaboration with NGO needs to be clearly defined, to facilitate NGO involvement with the government for promotion of Basic Primary Education. The government, under such collaboration, should assume the main responsibility for programme implementation and the NGOs should act as facilitators

The seminar was held at Subah School of Arts (Jinnah Grammar School ) Bang low No 296-P Satellite Town Block V New Quetta on Ist-November, 2000. The numbers of stake holders were 32, the participants in the seminar came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives.

The central aim of the seminar was to highlight critical issues on Role of NGOs in Primary Education and to elicit recommendations which could later be used for policy and institutional reforms. In all, 13 technical papers were presented. The issues highlighted and the recommendations made in the seminar are presented in the form of report, which is structured as follows:-

• Government, NGOs and Community must work in partnership to bring about change and progress in the primary education sector: some models have the potential for adoption by other provinces and areas, which should be documented and disseminated.
• Government should support the programmes implemented by NGOs and community and provide leadership and commitment.
• The NGOs role should be that of a facilitator and not the owner of programme.
• Each partner (community, NGO, Government) should give due respect to the contribution made by the other.
• Political leadership must accept and respect the peoples need for change and provide opportunities where people can be meaningfully involved in the process of change.
• There should be criteria to assess the professional competence of NGOs and only the qualified NGOs should be permitted to operate.

The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

6.ONE DAY SEMINAR ON USE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION FOR TEACHER TRAINING

Distance education is an effective way of training teachers. Distance education methods employ print, audio, or visual media to communicate with students without the direct presence of the teacher. These methods are most appropriate when one or more of the following conditions hold:-

• There is an acute shortage of qualified teachers
• Regions vary widely in the quality of teachers

 

• Some groups e-g girls, lack access to schools because there are not enough female teachers

• The costs of conventional teacher training make expansion unfeasible
• Infrastructure for transportation and communication are in place

The seminar was held at Subah School of Arts (Jinnah Grammar School) Bang low No 296-P Satellite Town Block V New Quetta on2^rd-March, 2001. The numbers of stake holders were 30; the participants in the seminar came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives.

• Increase managerial capacity: and
• Develop effective information systems.

Unfortunately we have few guidelines for these proposed changes. Almost no

Research has been done on the organizational, personnel, or informational capacities of ministry of education.

In order to highlight the actual education administration problems in Pakistan SUBAH Quetta hold a one day seminar at Subah School of Arts ( Jinnah Grammar School ) Bang low No 296-P Satellite Town Block V New Quetta on 2^nd-December, 2001.

• District Jail Quetta
• Central Jail Much Bolan
• Central Jail Mustang
• District Jail Pishin
• District jail Sibi
• District Jail Khuzdar
• District Jail Zhob and:
• District Jail Lorelai

During survey team observed that the education facilities offered by jail

9.SEMINAR ON IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL–COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS

Educators often emphasize the importance of good relationships between school and community. And it is true that no studies on this important topic were held.

The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

10.ONE DAY SEMINAR ON IMPORTANCE OF TEXTBOOKS

Textbooks are the most common type of instructional material used in schools, especially at the primary level. The importance of textbooks can be attributed to several factors:-

• Textbooks can compensate for low quality of teaching
• Textbooks can carry the curriculum, which may be ignored by the teacher
• Textbooks can present material in a sequenced, graded fashion that makes learning easier
• Textbooks allow the student to learn even when the teacher is not teaching

Research shows that students with textbooks learn more than those without, holding teaching quality and student abilities constant.

• Textbooks are relatively inexpensive
• Use of textbooks in classroom makes it easier for teachers to manage heterogeneous groups of students

• The student's textbooks may be the only contact parents have with printed material.

keeping in view the importance of issues Subah Quetta hold a one day seminar on the topic from its own resources at Mahec Helping Council New Algillani Road Quetta on 10^th-August,2003. The numbers of beneficiaries were 58.

11. SEMINAR ON SUSTAINABILITY OR WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FUNDER LEAVES?

Many countries including Pakistan largely depend on loans or grants from international assistance agencies to fund new programs in education. But experience shows that many externally-funded projects fail to reach their objectives. Many projects that are actually implemented fail when external funding ends. There are several reasons why this happens.

• Most projects are not designed with sustainability in mind. Both founders and borrowing countries devote their efforts to planning the installation of the project. Cost and personnel requirements of keeping the project going into the future are generally overlooked.
• In their concern for installation, lending agencies insist on the establishment of special units to oversee implementation
• Few organization carry out the king of monitoring and evaluation that is necessary for long term project development
• As a consequence, new projects often are not designed to support earlier project

keeping in view the importance of issues Subah Quetta hold a one day seminar on the topic from its own resources at Mahec Helping Council New Algillani Road Quetta on 12^th-December,2003. The numbers of beneficiaries were 30.

12.WORKSHOP ON COMMON FEATURES OF EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS

A guiding philosophy that provides a framework for all the activities of the school. This philosophy can be understood as a vision, as a set of guiding principles, as a “mission statement.” It should talk about fundamental changes in the school, not marginal adjustments or refinements.

On this important issue Subah Quetta was arranged a one day workshop on Ist-April,2004 at Mahec Helping Council New Algilani Road Quetta. The numbers of stake holder's were34, the participants in the workshop came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives. The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

13.ONE DAY WORKSHOP ON CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The concept of classroom management considers the teacher as a producer of learning. The amount and quality of learning that is generated depends on the ability of the teacher to use effectively the resources available, and to affect the behavior of students. The resources include physical facilities, instructional material, equipment, and time. Increased spending on facilities, equipment, or material may have little impact on learning outcomes if teachers are not trained in how to use them effectively.

On this important issue Subah Quetta was arranged a one day workshop on 10th-August, 2004 at Mahec Helping Council New Algillani Road Quetta. The numbers of stake holders were 37; the participants in the workshop came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives. The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

14.ONE DAY WORKSHOP ON STUDENT DISCIPLINE.

There is little systematic research on the relative effects of different patterns of students’ discipline. On the other hand, there is wide spread agreement that an orderly atmosphere is necessary in schools for effective teaching and learning to take place. Lack of student discipline has been associated with poor class management by teachers and poor school administration. A study of student discipline in the Congo cites teacher incompetence and overcrowded classroom as causes of student misconduct. In fact lack of discipline reduces time on task.

In order to highlight the issue SUBAH Quetta hold a one day workshop at Subah School of Arts ( Jinnah Grammar School ) Bang low No 296-P Satellite Town Block V New Quetta on 25^th-November, 2004. The numbers of stake holders were 40; the participants in the workshop came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives. The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

 

15.THREE DAYS WORKSHOP ON EDUCATION FOR ALL.

Education in general and Education for All in particular, is one of the top priorities of Government of Pakistan. The Pakistan has ten year Perspective Development Plan (2001-11) to visualize the long term macro-economic and sect oral growth strategies. Poverty Reduction and Human Development is the priority area of the plan. Sector-wide development approach covering all the sectors of education has been adopted under the Perspective Plan. In order to address the EFA implications linkage plan focusing on development of other sectors of Education has also been prepared.

It has been realized at all levels that preparation and implementation of an Education for All plan is the sine-qua/non for effectively reaching and monitoring the EFA goals. In order to honor the international commitment reflected in the Dakar Framework for Action, EFA National Plan of Action (NPA) has been developed through broad based consultations with principal actors of EFA and stakeholders. In order to translate the Education Policy (1998-2010) into action plan, Education Sector Reform (2001-2005) which is an action plan was developed. Education Sector Reform (ESR) aimed at the development of education sector as a whole, with a special focus on EFA, served as foundation of the NPA.

16. ONE DAY WORKSHOP ON GIRL CHILD AND EDUCATION (LOW ENROLMENT OF GIRLS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL)

If Education is the means to attain humanity and if it is the natural right of all human beings to be educated, I cannot understand on what plea women can be deprived of this right. (RABINDRANATH TAGORE)

To educate a girl is to educate a whole family, and what is true of families is also true of communities and, ultimately, whole countries. Study after study has taught us that

there is no tool for development more effective than the education of girls. Two of the millennium development goals agreed by all the world’s countries as a blueprint for building a better world in the 21ist century are focused on education for girls and boys alike.

18.SIX DAYS TRAINING ON LIFE SKILLS BASED EDUCATION FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL COMPETENCE

Balochistan which is considered as the less developed province of the country. The province has limited literacy rate as compare to the rest of the country .The health indicators are also very alarming, the figures reveal that Balochistan has the worst health indicators and that resulted to high maternal and infant mortality rates.

The worst situation of low literacy and high fertility rates ,early marriages , malnutrition , gender inequalities and poor health is the result of poverty, strong tribal norm, scattered population, internal tribal conflicts, nonexistence of leadership , and resistance over the movement of women, denial to women right, Women are not part of decision making, they are even not ask for the number of children .The women living in this part of the country are not aware of their basic rights they understand by getting the food and cloths is the fulfillment of their basic right from the male dominant society.

The adolescence and children are less motivated for their proper formal regular education and also limited in the development of their skills especially the leadership qualities. The elders focus their adolescence and children to be their followers and are set them to be familiar with in practical the tribal norm, tribal attitudes and cultures.

The strategy adopted in this regard is to empower the adolescents on Life Skills Based Education and Prevention of HIV/AIDS. The targeted adolescents group would be the in school and colleges of the district. The stake holders from the education department were involved in the training activities. The out school adolescents were also involved in the awareness activities of LSBE and HIV/AIDS prevention so that they could adopt healthy life styles.

INTRODUCTION TO LIFE SKILLS FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL COMPETENCE

Promoting Psychosocial Competence

Psychosocial competence is a person’s ability to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. It is a person’s ability to maintain a state of mental well-being and to demonstrate this in adaptive and positive behavior while interacting with others, his/her culture and environment.

Psychosocial competence has an important role to play in the promotion of health in its broadest sense; in term of physical, mental and social well-being. In particular, where health problems are related to behavior, and where the behavior is related to an inability to deal effectively with stresses and pressures in life, the enhancement of psychosocial competence could make an important contribution. This is especially important for health promotion at a time when behavior is more and implicated as the source of health problems.

The most direct interventions for the promotion of psychosocial competence are those which enhance the person’s coping resources, and personal and social competencies. In school-based programmes for children and adolescents, this can be done by the teaching of life skills in a supportive learning environment.

Defining Life Skills

Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.

Described in this way, skills that can be said to be life skills are innumerable, and the nature and definition of life skills are likely to differ across cultures and settings. However, analysis of the life skills field suggests that there is a core set of skills that are the heart of skills-based initiatives for the promotion of the health and well-being of children and adolescents. These are listed below:

• Decision making
• Problem solving
• Creative thinking
• Critical thinking
• Effective communication
• Interpersonal relationship skills
• Self-awareness
• Empathy
• Coping with emotions
• Coping with stress
• Awareness about diseases especially STIs, Hepatitis, HIV / AIDs

SUBAH Quetta in realizing the need of the community especially the empowerment of adolescence for enhancing their skills in providing them the training of LSBE and HIV/AIDS prevention and develop their leadership capacities as a change agent .The LSBE training was enable the adolescence to be self-reliant and make their own decision and above than all to act as catalyst for a positive change in the behavior .The training was also contributed to bring positive change in their attitudes and behavior towards the involvement of women in decision making and also work for the betterment of their communities with in the tribal norms on sustainable basis., SUBAH Quetta hold a Six days training at Subah School of Arts ( Jinnah Grammar School ) Bang low No 296-P Satellite Town Block V New Quetta on Ist-March, 2006 to 6^th-March,2006. The numbers of stake holders were 55; the participants in the workshop came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives. The workshop was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

19(2-Days Seminar on Development and Protection to All Devolution and Development

Most social, economic and political problems that Pakistan has faced since independence stemmed primarily from a centralized state structure and non-participatory decision-making process. Policy maker remained cut off from ground realities and pandered to their own whims and wishes. Even many well intentioned development initiatives failed to achieve desired results, as they did not take into account local realities. The needs and aspirations of the people never featured in those grand schemes ostensibly developed to lift the country out of poverty and backwardness. A sizable number of people are still not able to benefit from basic services such as healthcare, education and safe water. It is extremely important that all the relevant groups understand their roles and responsibilities and that they have the capacity to be able to fulfill that role effectively for ensuring development and protection for all. Recognizing that the newly established local-government system can play a critical role in promoting and securing the rights of children, women and other vulnerable groups, the organization is committed to playing its role in strengthening the process of devolution and decentralization.

In order to highlight the merits and importance of new Local-government system SUBAH Quetta hold a Two days seminar at Subah Office flat No-5 New Model Town Opposite A.G Balochistan Quetta Cantt on Ist-September, 2006.

In addition, details of the female candidates recommended for appointment by the Balochistan Public Service Commission during the period 2000 to 2005 were collected. Forty individuals were interviewed and preliminary findings were presented before a stakeholder workshop. The study involved detailed questions asked from the respondents to collect information on employment, job description, qualification background, training, transfer, transportation, mobility, promotions, quota, working environment and conditions, career planning and sexual harassment. The government employees were selected in such a way to ensure the representation of the various level of BPS. The respondents from other institutions like academic, NGOs and autonomous organization have been selected who have common interest in women’s development issues. The role of private sector is negligible in Balochistan in generation of employment in general and for women in particular. Similarly there are not many corporations working in Balochistan. Towns in Balochistan are not bigger than villages in Punjab and Sindh provinces but due to tribal setup women do not come forward to work in offices and small towns except for women specific jobs, which is often limited to health and education sectors. Women do not feel safe and secure to work in the interior of Balochistan.

24.(5-Days Training On Building Protective Environment for Children and Adolescents in Balochistan

Balochistan as one of the provinces of Pakistan falls in south Asia region. In this region reusable and nationwide data is available for very few forms of violence against children. All dimensions of violence in different settings have not been studied comprehensively. Certain areas have been better covered than others, albeit assessments as to what areas are more researched than others are essentially a subjective view: each actor believes that his focus area is less researched. Available information tends to be limited in scope in terms of geographical areas covered and sample size-Estimating of changing trends is difficult because the studies are either occasional or provide anecdotal information. Crime related data being compiled in all countries although limited to repeated cases provides some information on violence against children but the level of desegregations is uneven. Increased crime statistics signify higher awareness levels with lower thresholds for reporting rather than increases prevalence. Mandatory reporting is not common in the region. Pakistan currently has the largest cohort of young people in its history (25 million aged 15-24), and subsequent cohorts are projected to be even larger. Young people face a number of critical life decisions between the ages of 15 and 24 that relate to a series of transitions to adulthood: school-leaving, employment, greater responsibility for oneself and family, choosing a spouse, and beginning a family. However, little is known about how time is spent and how decisions are made at those ages. Given the lack of systematically collected data, any comment on the situation and trend on violence against children in Balochistan need to be made with great caution. Nonetheless, available researches, assessments and surveys suggest that children in Balochistan are at risk of many forms of violence in different context and settings. There is also lack of comprehensive knowledge about interventions that work well in the Balochistan context.

Keeping in view that sensitiveness and urgency of issues Subah Quetta arranged a five days training on the manual for training of trainers of civil society organizations on child protection issues framed by Unicef and Social welfare department Government of Balochistan. Main objective of the training is to prepare Master Trainers in Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and government agencies on rights based approaches on child protection issues, and to strengthen advocacy and encourage pressure groups. The training sessions covered the following topics:-

• Child Protection Issues
• Child birth registration
• Neglect and violence
• Corporal punishment
• Child lab our
• Child sexual exploitation and sexual abuse
• Harmful cultural practices
• Discrimination
• Children without parental care
• Child trafficking, abduction and sale
• Children in conflict with law
• Children affected by HIV / AIDs

The training was held at Subah office flat No-5 New Model Town Opposite A.G Balochistan Quetta Cantt on Ist-April, 2007 to 5^th-April, 2007. The numbers of stake holders were 32; the participants in the training came from a wide range of stake holding including students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives.

25.One Day Workshop on Child Legislation in Pakistan

The future of mankind and civilization lies in our children. Their protection from physical and social hazards is a pre-requisite for proper development of children to ensure future progress and prosperity of mankind. Legislation is one of the vital instruments for deterring the elements leading to violation of children’s rights and threatening survival, protection and development of children. It can be used as an effective vehicle for promoting social stability, promote social reforms and through the process of law, secure the wellbeing of children. There are a number of legislation for children enacted in Pakistan to curb the elements thwarting survival and development of children in fulfillment of its obligations as a civilized and Islamic Republic. Pakistan has also ratified the UN Convention on the rights of the child and in addition, Pakistan is also a signatory to the World Declaration on Survival, Protection and Development of children, adopted at the World summit on Children held in New York in September, 1990.

In pursuance of the above, efforts need to be fortified to promote advocacy and awareness in the society about the needs and rights of children and promote their knowledge about legal protection available for children. It was with this objective in view that the Subah Quetta undertook a One Day workshop on the existing legislation regarding children at Subah Grammar School Banglow No 237, AB Block No III, Sibi road Satellite Town Quetta on11th-May, 2007. The numbers of stake holders were 36; the participants in the Workshop came from a wide range of stake holding including Advocates, students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives.

26.One Day Seminar on the State of the Balochistan Children

In the Millennium Declaration of September 2000, Member States of the United Nations made a most passionate commitment to address the crippling poverty and multiplying misery that grip many areas of the globe. Governments set a date of 2015 by which they would meet the Millennium Development Goals: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality and empower women, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, combat HIV / AIDs, Malaria and other diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop a global partnership for development.

27. One Day Seminar on the Impact of AIDs on Children

AIDS has been a focus of international concern for more than two decades. Yet its impact on children has been little considered. The number of children affected was not even counted unit recently. One of the first global estimates of the number of children who had lost or both parents of HIV /AIDs appeared in 1997. In September 2003, 39 percent of countries with generalized epidemics still had no national policy in place to provide essential support to children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV /AIDS. Children are missing from the HIV /AIDS picture in many different ways:-

• Children are missing their childhood
• Children are missing the chance to start life free of HIV.
• North America and Europe have reduced HIV infection in young children to 1 to 2 percent by combining antiretroviral treatment with elective caesarean-section delivery and the avoidance of breastfeeding.

Yet the needs of children are being overlooked when strategies on HIV prevention

And treatment are drafted, policies made and budgets allocated and investment in prevention continue to be pitifully inadequate. A generation of children and adolescents has never known a world free of HIV and AIDS. They will soon inherit the burden of fighting the disease. Although they are most vulnerable to infection, they are more likely than adults to change their behavior. Yet very few of them know what to do to avoid the disease. If they did, they could be full partner in the fight to stop it.

In order to break the silence, educate and inform, and end ignorance and fear, prevent prejudice, discrimination and stigma, to take mobilize action and to create a parliamentary focal point for HIV / AIDS, SUBAH Quetta hold a One Day seminar at Subah Office flat No-5 New Model Town Opposite A.G Balochistan Quetta Cantt on 16^th-August, 2007. The numbers of stake holders were 45; the participants in the seminar came from a wide range of stake holding including Doctors, Advocates, students, teacher, community, NGO representatives, educationists, public servants and private sector representatives. The Seminar was hold by SUBAH Quetta from its own resources.

28. One Day Workshop on Counseling for HIV /AIDS

Ever since the beginning of AIDS epidemic in 1981, the number of people infected and affected by HIV /AIDS is on the rise. During the course of infection, a broad range of physical, social and psychological needs and problems is experienced. Changing nature of the illness imposes a variety of psychological and emotional strains on individuals and those closest to them. Taking into account the dilemmas associated with it, the effects of HIV epidemic are enormous. AIDS in fact, is seen more as a psychosocial phenomenon than a disease. HIV /AIDS counseling assists people to make informed decisions, cope better with their condition, lead more positive lives, and prevent HIV transmission. HIV/AIDS counseling is important because infection with HIV is lifelong. Role of counseling in HIV/AIDS is perhaps more important than in any other disease. Existence of standard guidelines for the people involved in HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities ensures that all efforts being made for the purpose are well coordinated and in right direction. Purpose of the counseling guidelines is to provide an in-depth knowledge on the subject to the clinicians, laboratory professionals, psychiatrists and the social workers, both in the public as well as private sectors, that would help them to manage HIV/AIDS and prevent its further spread.

In order to impart the basic contents of effective counseling to the concerned professionals SUBAH Quetta hold a One day seminar at undertook a One Day Seminar at Subah Grammar School Bang low No 237, AB Block No III, Sibi road Satellite Town Quetta on Ist-November, 2007.

29. One Day Workshop on National EPI Policy & Strategic Guidelines

Our children are without doubt, the most precious of all the nations’ treasures; for they are our hopes, our dreams and our future. Right to a healthy existence is among the most basic of all child rights. The rights of a child as finalized in Convention on the Rights of the Child to which Pakistan is a signatory states that the state must “recognize the Rights of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health” and that the state “shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services”. While the overall National Health Policy recognize the importance of National Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) and lists it as one of the key areas of health care delivery system, the fact that the target of the programme are the children and their mothers. The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) was launched in 1978. It aims at protecting children by immunizing them against childhood Tuberculosis, Poliomyelitis, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Hepatitis B and Measles.

Mother’s Day is the day devoted to all the mothers in the world and hence it is perfect time when we can express our tender love and care for our mothers, for their friendly gestures and warm hugs that they have showered upon us.

The Mother’s Day was first proclaimed in 1870 in the United States and it was Julia Ward Howe who proclaimed the same in Boston. Howe also called for it to be observed each year at the National level in 1872.

In fact the original idea behind Howe's "Mother’s Day" was a call for pacifism and disarmament by all the women. Women's peace groups mostly marked early "Mother's Day". At the early times it was a common activity to have the meeting of groups of mothers and in such meetings those mothers were supposed to participate whose sons had fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War.

Later Anna Jarvis in Grafton West Virginia, to commemorate the anniversary of her mother’s death two years earlier on 9^th-May, 1905, first celebrated Mother’s Day in 1907 in a small private way. Jarvis's mother, whose name was also Anna Jarvis, was an active participant in the Mother’s Day Campaigns.

Behind every young child who believes in himself is a parent who believed first. The United Nations General Assembly, in 2012, instituted the inaugural Global Day of Parents, a worldwide celebration held annually on June 1st to honor and pay tribute to parents around the globe. Parenthood is a universal experience that transcends boundaries, yet it is undeniably a journey fraught with challenges, even before children are born. The mere achievement of a healthy parental figure is a blessing, given the multitude of complications that can arise during pregnancy.

Many of us may not have fully appreciated the nagging reminders to keep our rooms tidy, but those gentle nudges served a greater purpose – to instill in us the discipline to fend off the inevitable invasion of dust bunnies. Had we not learned to tackle such seemingly trivial responsibilities, navigating the complexities of the adult world would have been an insurmountable feat. This day presents an opportune moment to express our gratitude to our first teachers and nurturers, the ones who guided us through our formative years.
