After marriage her husband got posted in Hyderabad. Parven Singh wrote letters to his wife, but unfortunately due to bad relationship with her mother in law, most of the letters were not shown to her. On the night before encounter, she got a bad dream that her husband was trapped in a storm, but the dream became reality when the next day, Parvenn Singh got martyred in Doda. It was a tough time. Daughter was just 1.5 years old and son was still in the womb. She never thought her son could see the world, because she was not getting support of her in laws. Veer Nari expresses gratitude to the govt, that she got a job under SRO 43 and was able to take care of her kids. Her son wants to join Army and wants to serve the nation. Many times the wife of martyr is not much educated, as a result, she is not able to guide her kids. It is the moral responsibility of the society to visit he family of martyr and help them in sorting out their problems. At the end a small request to the society: “Many times, the wife of martyr is not very educated, hence she is not able to guide her children as a result the children are not able to get higher ranks in the Army, it is the duty of citizens to visit their families and help them in solving their problems. Tell the ‘Veer Naris’, Veer Mata’ that we are always with them. Help their children in career counseling. Give them respect. Bow heads whenever we meet them. Never forget that the supreme sacrifice was made for us”.
