New Delhi: No matter how tall you've grown, a father is someone you look up to. Fathers are inextricably linked to our lives. Their love, concern, and sacrifices are incomparable to anyone else's. They are, without a doubt, the great heroes of our day. Father's Day is observed on the third Sunday in June. It falls on June 19 this year.

Father's Day is observed to honour our fathers' contributions to our lives and to recognise the sacrifices they make in order to provide us with a happy and healthy life.
