“Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears but also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride
For single parents, this journey takes on an added dimension of resilience, strength, and determination. On Single Parents Day, we celebrate the individuals who take on the role of both mother and father, navigating life’s ups and downs with unwavering love for their children.
Single parenting is not just about raising a child alone—it is about embracing an experience that transforms one’s life in unexpected and profound ways. Allan Saugat, Head of Marcomm at Akash Institute of Education, and a proud single father, shares his journey:
“Aadvik came into my life when he was just six days old, and from that moment, everything changed. He has made my life more beautiful, meaningful, and purposeful. He has also shaped me into a more mature and responsible person than I ever thought I could be.”
His words resonate with countless single parents who step into this role with courage, facing every challenge head-on while ensuring their child receives love, care, and stability. A single parent often makes sacrifices, but they also experience immeasurable joy, celebrate triumphs, and build a deep bond with their child. That is why celebrating Single Parents Day is so important—it acknowledges and honors this incredible journey.
The Challenges and Triumphs of Single Parenting:
Raising a child alone is no small feat. Single parents take on the dual responsibility of being the sole provider, nurturer, and mentor. Financial responsibilities, emotional well-being, and time management become critical aspects of their lives. Society often presents its own set of biases and challenges, but single parents rise above them, driven by love and an unbreakable commitment to their children’s happiness and success.
Despite these challenges, single parenting is also a journey of immense personal growth. It fosters resilience, adaptability, and a deeper appreciation for life’s simplest joys. For many, like Allan Saugat, parenthood becomes a transformative experience that shapes them into better individuals.
“But the love, laughter, and lessons along the way make it all worth it. Every day with Aadvik is a reminder that the strongest bonds are built on love, not just blood,” he shares.

Honoring the Strength of Single Parents:
It is a reminder to acknowledge and appreciate the dedication, love, and sacrifices of those who raise their children alone. It is a day to celebrate their strength, to offer support, and to recognize their unwavering commitment to providing the best for their children.
As a society, we must continue to create an inclusive and supportive environment for single parents. Workplaces can introduce family-friendly policies, communities can offer emotional and practical support, and schools can ensure that children of single parents feel just as included and valued as their peers.
Celebrating this day is more than just a recognition—it is a way to remind single parents that they are not alone in their journey. Their efforts, sacrifices, and unconditional love shape the future of their children and society as a whole.
To all the single parents out there—your dedication does not go unnoticed. You are seen, you are valued, and you are doing an incredible job. Your love, perseverance, and strength are shaping the future, one child at a time.
