Being a doctor and radiologist, I wanted to create awareness on the importance of Girl child on female foeticide issue as a lot of quacks were doing sonography, to celebrate our annual girl child on 11 October regarding their achievements and contribution. Today, we have come a long way and were able to work successfully for the upliftment and betterment of women.”

So, setting up a role model in every field is important which can inspire women. In fact, I come from a village background and was the first doctor in the school which my grandfather had started. Today, more than 6000 students from that school are getting educated and some of them have become engineers, Doctors and IAS officers or even joined the army. I started the save the girl child campaign 15 years ago and we conducted various flagship Programs annual self-defense training programs, health camps, education and educational cultural programs in which women and girls participate in large numbers. Massive impact has been appreciated.’
