Everyone should ensure safe motherhood
The famous song about mothers, written by lyricist Gauriprasanna Majumdar and sung by singer Hemanta Mukherjee, goes: “Pother klanti bhule sneho bhora kole tabo/ Mago, bolo kobe shital hobo?/Koto dur, ar koto dur? Bolo Ma” ("Forgetting the fatigue of the path, in your affectionate lap, Oh, Mother, tell me when will I find peace? How far, how much farther, tell me, Mother."). Despite the deep yearning and love for mothers expressed in this song, significant problems still persist in our country concerning maternal and neonatal mortality rates, even though they have decreased to some extent.
