There's a saying that goes like this; 'Behind every successful man, there's a woman.' How true in the case of Kasturba Gandhi, wife of Mahatma Gandhiji. She was as brave as anyone who fought for our independence. Always behind the scenes, she did make her voice heard loud and clear. To commemorate Kasturba Gandhi; the 11th of April is dedicated to all the new mothers as National Safe Mother Hood Day.
All young and new mothers face significant risks during child birth, due to the lack of medical expertise, or lack of knowledge about safe births believing in medieval methods of birthing.
Kasturba Gandhi was an imperative social reformer and that's how the 11th of April is dedicated to all the young mothers to become more aware of maternal health.
