The father is also emotionally attached to the child and when he sees all this in reality he becomes more caring and affectionate.
There are several women today who are very much career oriented and as well take care of the house. During this time the paternity leave will help the partner to be equally involved in all the activities and helping each other and parenting the baby equally. This caring and sharing of responsibility will help grow the bond stronger between the family and also make their bond with their children a stronger one.

They can also take up the regular child care duties. This grows the attachment between the child and the father bringing them closer. He will also get the sense of responsibility and family needs. The paternity leave is quite beneficial and should be provided all over India.
