Sharing his thoughts on the joyous occasion, Mr. Arnab Mondal, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospitals Whitefield said, "Parenthood is crucial to human development in various ways. Therefore, it is important for parents to strive to be the very best parents that they can be. For instance, parents teach their children about morality and provide them with love and support. This loving and supportive relationship cannot come to an end when a child reaches adulthood, either. Parents continue to support their kids well into their 30s and beyond and this relationship should be reciprocal, with children loving and supporting their parents when they grow old. That is why we have come together to support and shower importance onto this relationship. We are delighted to receive an overwhelming response."

Commenting on the occasion, Ms. Shweta Srivastava said, "I am extremely happy to be a part of the parenthood celebration here at the Manipal Hospitals Whitefield. Parenthood is an important part of human development and it is good to see that Manipal Hospitals feels responsible enough to celebrate it."
