Nursing students of CMC celebrated Woman's Day

Ludhiana: The students of College of Nursing, CMC celebrated Woman's Day in the Antenatal OPD. They conveyed message through a play on female foeticide, that if women are firm and take indipendent decision not to go for it inspite of family pressures there will be no more female deaths. The women attending antenatal OPD also took a vow to raise voice against it, now and in future too. They were also educated on the adverse effects on society if the female sex ratio decreases drastically. While speaking on the occasion Dr.Kanwal Masih Medical superintendent said the common belief of society that only a boy is responsible for our lineage. He asked the audience if someone could remember the name of his 5 ancestors to which most of the audience was tight-lipped.

Principal College of nursing Mrs.Triza Jiwan also stressed that girls have outshone the boys even though the boys have outnumbered the girls. Even so some parents, where the role of the family can not be ruled out, choose to eliminate the girls before the birth. This message was welcomed and appreciated by all participants present in the function.--Rector kathuria & Shalu Arora
