Behind every successful Meghalaya male Home Guard is a woman and the chief of Home Guard today promised that woman helping men from the hearth would be felicitated from next year for their “tremendous contribution” to the force.Altogether 41 Home Guards and officials were today felicitated for their contribution towards the force on occasion of its Raising Day at its headquarters at Mawdia
ngdiang situated some 10 kilometers away from the state capital.
Director General of Home Guards, WR Marbaniang dwelt extensively on the role played by women in the households, although their contribution is rarely acknowledged in public.
“The contribution of these women who help their sons, husbands, and brothers from home is immense. From next year we would also felicitate these brave women who work silently and tirelessly,” Marbanaing said after handing away the medals and certificates.He said it would be impossible for anyone to perform to a desired level if work was not appropriately balanced at the personal and professional front. “We haven’t planned how to felicitate such homemakers, but we would definitely find some ways to honour them,” the Home Guard chief said.
He said everyone’s role would be given equal importance to make the force a professional body. “We want the Home Guards to be one of the finest professional bodies in the state and we would give equal importance to everyone for their contribution,” he added.
The former Director General of Police said that official quarters were being constructed for the past three years near the headquarters and within the next few months these would be completed for the Home Guards and their families to move in.
Moreover, Marbaniang lauded the role of volunteers in shaping the department, terming such volunteers as the “bedrock” of the organisation. “We are planning to have more volunteers and are conducting civil defence programmes for teachers, school children to make the organisation a better professional unit,” he told the gathering.
