“As we love our daughters, we should ensure all girls from 9 to 14 receive the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. Moreover, I request the ladies to take the drama enacted here across all of India to educate women everywhere on these profound messages about education, values, and virtues, she added.

Minister of State External Affairs and Culture Meenakshi Lekhi said, “Indians are hardworking people who also believe in the strength of spirituality, and hence their motivation to serve society. No matter what part of the world Indians travel to, they carry these values with them and become valuable members of their respective communities. This inspiration comes from organisations like BAPS”.
