ARMY WIVES WELFARE CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF SOLDIERS'
WIFE IN NATIONAL SECURITY
While the soldiers are in the
borders maintaining a vigil and in full operational readiness
it is the role of the wives, whose efficient management of the
home front that keeps him in high spirits and enables him to face
all external challenges. This aspect was emphasised by Mrs. Roopa
Padmanabhan, President of Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA)
and the wife of the Chief of the Army Staff, during her inaugural
address at the Bi-annual Conference of the Army Wives Welfare
Association here today. She also laid stress on education of the
Ladies on security of information. She said that leakage of such
information about the movement of troops and their deployment
only helps the enemy. The Wives of the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief
of all the Commands, who are also the Presidents of AWWA at their
respective Commands, as well as, ladies representing different
formations and stations attended the conference. Talks and presentation
encompassing a large spectrum of subjects like 'Balance Between
Career and Home', 'Compatibility and Adjustment Lead to Successful
Marriage', 'Work Opportunities at Home' and 'Need for AWWA to
Undertake Commercial Ventures as an Outlet for Talented and Creative
Members of its Organisation' were also taken up.
