actively participate in the Pulse Polio Vaccination Program every year in the
village and we achieved a 100 percent success rate. A number of people in
the Panchayat were suffering from Tuberculosis (TB), so I organized a health
check-up and awareness campaign on the disease. I also conducted an AIDS
Awareness Programme in the village.
The Panchayat Secretary on occasion has interfered in my work. He shifted
some of the work, which had been sanctioned to our village to another village,
but with great struggle, I was successful and managed to shift the work back
to its sanctioned spot.
I involve myself in other welfare activities as well, like inviting NCC cadets
for social service activities; I also provide them with free accommodation
and food until the programme ends. As a part of the programme, the NCC
students repaired the old temple and a school building. I have shown what an
uneducated woman can achieve if there is a will to work.
