The need of the hour is to celebrate International Men’s day. We all women salute men who have played an important, dignified, respectable, inspiring, encouraging, helpful role in our lives at home, at workplace and in our society. International Men’s day was inaugurated in 1992 February by Thomas Oaster.
Every year since Nov 19th, 1994 International Men’s day has been celebrated. International men’s day is not yet prevalently celebrated in our country. We at Kauvery would like to give our due respect and celebrate International men’s day, as todays men are striving for gender equality and patiently attempting to remove the negative images and stigma associated with men in our society. The UNESCO director has told it is an excellent idea for gender balance. The aim of the event is to promote basic humanitarian balance.
