Sanskar and Parental Values Play

Jalandhar/Daljeet Ajnoha/Jan.4 : Family values and sanskar play a decisive role in the grooming and career-building of a child, especially in middle-class families, said Shakuntala Devi during an interaction with senior journalist Sanjiv Kumar.
Shakuntala Aggarwal shared her experiences as a mother and said that the success of a child is not only the outcome of individual hard work but also the silent struggle, sacrifices, and dedication of parents. She highlighted that the role of a mother in shaping discipline, ethics, and determination is extremely significant.
“A child’s struggle is visible to society, but the struggle of parents—particularly mothers and fathers—remains behind the curtain. Parents devote their entire lives to shaping their children’s future,” she said.
A deeply religious woman, Shakuntala Aggarwal said she regularly performs prayers herself for the welfare and success of her family. She appealed to women to remain devoted to their children’s education, career, and family values, stating that prosperity naturally follows such dedication.
In a brief reference, it was mentioned that Dr Himanshu Agarwal is presently serving as Deputy Commissioner, Jalandhar, and his journey reflects the strong moral values and upbringing provided by his family.
It was also noted that Komal Mittal, IAS, Deputy Commissioner Mohali, is the daughter-in-law of Shakuntala Aggarwal and Dr Surinder Agarwal, further highlighting the family’s emphasis on education, discipline, and public service.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Surinder Agarwal, President of Akhil Bhartiya Agarwal Sammelan, Punjab, emphasized the importance of social responsibility along with strong family values. A well-known social activist, he has been actively working for the welfare of society and mankind.
Under the banner of Akhil Bhartiya Agarwal Sammelan Punjab, Dr Agarwal has organized several awareness programs, social initiatives, and community activities.
