What’s the Value of Women’s Work in your Life ?

Savings

By- Poonam Nalawade

  • A breakfast would cost you at least Rs 40 per day. If we calculate this in terms of per month it would be around 1200 Rs per month
  • A lunch/ dinner would cost you at least Rs 80per day. If we calculate this in terms of per month it would be around Rs 2400 per month
  • A housemaid charges at least Rs 2500 s a month with Sundays excluded
  • A day care center fees would be at least Rs 3000 per month
  • If you calculate all these expenses it would somewhere around Rs 9100 per month

These Rs 9100 is what many of us save per month; which accounts for savings of Rs 109200 annually.

Do you know you save this money?

You save this money all because of your mother, grandmother, sister and wife who do all these work free of cost daily without holiday and without complains. Some of these women even work while doing these jobs.

These women are constantly juggling between their personal and
professional priorities. And in spite of that they don’t get any rewards for it.

‘This women’s day let’s just give them give them a reward by giving them
positive regards and support their womanhood. Let’s talk to their about their mental health.’
