With her pure nature, strong will and visionary leadership, Nirmala Devi has spread the ray of self-reliance in the lives of around 3500 women.

Dozens of women have become self-reliant through works like flour mill, vegetable selling, snack shop and animal husbandry. By ensuring women's participation in many government programs including the NEERA scheme, he provided them economic empowerment.

Nirmala Devi says, 'When I see the smile of confidence on the faces of women, that is my biggest earning.' Her goal is that every woman should become empowered, so that the society considers her capable. The story of Nirmala Devi shows that when the resolve is pure and the objective is of public interest, then women empowerment becomes a movement.
