National Women Commission member Mamta Kumari launches first ‘Tere, Mere Sapne' centre to strengthen families and empower youth for marriage
1 2 Ludhiana: In a move aimed at strengthening the institution of marriage and restoring family values, National Commission for Women (NCW) member Mamta Kumari on Sunday inaugurated Punjab's first 'Tere Mere Sapne' centre in the Civil Lines locality of Ludhiana. The initiative, according to an official statement, seeks to "foster stronger family connections and empower youth for successful marriages" through structured counselling. A second centre will be launched on Monday within the district court complex to further expand the programme's reach. The inauguration was attended by NCW official Sangeeta Kulshrestha, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Jasleen Kumar Bhullar, District Child Protection Officer Rashmi Saini, Child Development Project Officers Ravinder Kaur and Davinder Kaur, among others. Kumari explained that the centres will offer expert guidance to young people preparing for marriage, focusing on emotional intelligence, mutual respect, social dynamics and conflict resolution. "These centres promote emotional closeness and effective approaches to resolving marital challenges," she said, describing the effort as essential to building a more cohesive society. Earlier in the day, Kumari visited the Red Cross Senior Citizens Home and Shree Swami Vivekananda Trust to review the facilities provided to elderly residents. Commenting on the broader impact of the initiative, Kumari said: "In today's fast-moving world, family values are often overlooked. The 'Tere Mere Sapne' centres will provide young people with the emotional wisdom to build meaningful relationships and stronger families." She added that professional support will also be offered to help individuals navigate the complexities of modern partnerships. The programme marks a significant step in NCW's ongoing push to address issues of family breakdown and youth disorientation through early, structured intervention.

She came,she saw, she conquered
UTTAR PRADESH : Rachna Kumari was an eager student of class 10, when her school life was cut short due to poverty and societal pressure. Her family could not afford to send her to a private institution nearby and government institutions were far from her place. Thus at the tender age of 17, her family tried to force her into marriage. Six years later, the 23 year old has gone on to become a prominent figure in the sole major market of the block. Belonging to Chhitan Purva village in Risia block, Bahraich district, Rachna is now an entrepreneur as well as a third-year Bachelor of Arts student. Her shop selling wheat stalk handmade paintings is a major attraction here. The small shop stands alone among the plethora of shops in the main market of Risia block, not only because of the uncommon merchandise but also by her grit, guts, and remarkable determination. Rachna's journey took a pivotal turn when she came in contact with the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) which offers vocational training and life skills courses to marginalised young women through Project Lehar. This initiative helped her resume her education and persuade her family into abandoning marriage plans. At present, Rachna engages in wheat stalk painting—a traditional Bahraich art form involving intricate designs crafted from finely cut wheat stalks on cloth. Her shop also functions as a training centre, providing second chances to other girls from similar backgrounds. She conducts training sessions six days a week charging Rs 500 per girl for a one-month basic course and currently has 20 students aged between 12 and 17 under her tutelage. Each morning, Rachna completes household chores before cycling five kilometres from her home to operate her shop independently. This dedication has brought her attention.
