Our team wishes a Happy Family Day to all who are together with their families, to those separated because of restrictions and border closures, and families that lost their members in these tough times. No one is alone in this!
Every year May 15 is observed as the International Day of Families by the United Nations. The International Day of Families was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 so as to dedicate the whole day to families and appreciate their importance. Since 1994, May 15 is celebrated as Family Day.
The theme of this year`s International Day of Families is "Families and New Technologies." According to the background document of this year`s theme, ``The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of digital technologies for work, education and communication. The pandemic has accelerated technological changes that had already been underway both in society and at work, including the expanded use of digital platforms and related technological innovations like cloud computing and the use of big data and algorithm.
With many families separated because of Covid restrictions, technology has made it possible to be with loved ones during these testing times. Dr. Rajiv Kumar Gupta, SSNL Director took to Twitter and wished Families adjusting to the new normal way of life. He wrote, “The new normal ushered in by #COVID19 pandemic has brought our families closer by work from home culture & online education. On #InternationalFamilyDay, let’s strive to embrace new digital technologies in work & to connect with our loved ones virtually. #LifePositiveCoronaNegative”
