Traditionally, mothers have been viewed as the primary caregivers, with fathers often considered to be busy with their work. The survey, however, reveals that 94 percent of fathers in India believe in being proactively involved in household chores and taking care of their children. Regionally, 96 percent of fathers in the Southern and Western states, 93 percent in Northern states and 91 percent in Eastern share this belief. 

One key finding of the survey is that fathers have a softer side. Amongst the 500+ fathers who were interviewed, a remarkable 88 percent of fathers reported waking up in the middle of the night to ensure their children are sleeping peacefully and free from mosquito disturbances. This trend is consistent across the country, with Fathers in the Eastern region showing the highest involvement at 92 percent, and the Northern, Western and Southern regions following at 86 percent.
