“The expedition celebrates the pivotal role of mothers in shaping society. Wishing them a successful journey,” she wrote further.

Speaking at the event, CM Gupta said, "A mother not only holds a family together but also has the power to unite society and the world. Through the Mothers on Wheels initiative, Indian mothers will spread the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) and compassion across the globe.
