The political activist, Kasturba Gandhi's birth anniversary, is celebrated as National Safe Motherhood Day. In 2003, April 11 was announced as National Safe Motherhood Day by the Government of India

National Safe Motherhood Day is observed every year on 11 April to raise awareness about the proper healthcare of women, maternity facilities to pregnant women, safe motherhood and the health issues related to women, childcare task and challenges and so on. 

Motherhood is not an easy task particularly in the event that you are an employee. The added stress of work can make you depleted of your energy as well as put you in a difficult situation of not having the option to invest enough energy with your kids. 

Women are usually very passionate in whatever they do and they are accustomed to overseeing nearly everything alone. In the present situation, working women find it hard to balance between their commitment to their work and childcare by which they earn for their family and at the same time commitment to care for their children adequately.

Under this circumstance, they have no other option but to concentrate on their work, finding an alternate way of dealing with the situation at home with the help of their r relatives who can deal with their children comfortably. 

Certainly family is important for everyone. Similarly, the working women who are the light of the family too are important for everyone in the family. So you, working women, you need to take at least 30 minutes daily to spend doing things you would like to do. You can even simply relax and enter into the privacy of yourself away from others. This will help quiet you down, bring down your worries and make you more joyful and satisfied. 

On the Safe Mother Day, every mother may be inspired by the words of the US Vice-President Kamala Harris: "Women should not have to be presented with false choices that say, “You either have a career or you raise your children.” They should be able to do both! – In spite of challenges!!
