The National Commission for Women (NCW) is set to launch 21 pre-marital counselling centres across nine states, offering expert guidance on the social, psychological, and behavioural aspects of marriage, as stated by NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on Friday.

Rahatkar, speaking at a press conference, explained that the goal is to provide young couples with the necessary tools for a fulfilling marriage.
