The modern society is facing the problem of instability, loss of values, individual laziness and moral failures. This is because of disintegration of extended family structure of age old Indian society. Family, the oldest institution of Indian culture is falling apart and the socially approved model (family) is loosing it’s cohesive force day by day. At this juncture, it has become essential to re-establish the harmony among all the members of a joint family and integrate the newly emerging world of development in science, communication and technology to life. Familial disasters like divorce, separation, individual crisis, suicides and loneliness can be avoided only if we can restore the family to it’s former dominance beyond individualism. As an effort, the Kadambini Media Pvt. Ltd. thought of an Oriya monthly magazine, ‘The Kadambini’ having ingredients for entire family.
