Family is one of the important components in human society where parents and grandparents play vital role in shaping the children as responsible citizens of the country. Indian society has a good tradition of the joint family system which is still prevalent in many places. The joint family is a source of blessing in our country. Grandparents, parents, and children live together, work together, and eat together in a joint family. A genuine deep family bond is maintained from one generation to the next, and children cherish lasting happy memories of their parents and grandparents. It is worth focusing on grandparents, and the aged and the elderly in our families during this year of the family.
