Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel said that respecting parents and elders is a deeply rooted value in our culture, nurtured from an early age within the family. He highlighted examples from the Ramayana that underscore the importance of this respect. Governor Patel was speaking at a programme held at the Administrative Academy to mark International Human Rights Day. On this occasion, he also unveiled the 'Souvenir' of the Madhya Pradesh State Human Rights Commission, themed "Care, Safety, Social Responsibility, Legal Protection, and Human Rights of Senior Citizens." Governor Shri Patel said that with advancing age, the elderly have to take special care of their food and health. The family should always have a sense of sensitivity and gratitude towards the elderly. He congratulated the Commission for its efforts to create public awareness towards the protection of human rights.
