You heard of food for thought. Now, it is time for action and a better future for our poor.
Hello, I am @snehamohandoss. Inspired by my mother, who instilled the habit of feeding the homeless, I started this initiative called Foodbank India. #SheInspiresUs pic.twitter.com/yHBb3ZaI8n

When tradition meets modernity, wonders can happen. I experienced this in my work. It is designed to suit the modern day market.
My first business activity was participating in an exhibition of handmade items in New Delhi. This exhibit attracted a good clientele and a turnover.

5. Vijaya Pawar
गोरमाटी कला को बढावा देने के लिए पंतप्रधान नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने न केवल हमें प्रोत्साहित किया बल्कि हमारी आर्थिक सहायता भी की। ये हमारे लिए गौरव की बात है। इस कला के संरक्षण के लिए मैं पूरी तरह से समर्पित हूं और महिला दिवस के अवसर पर गौरवान्वित महसूस कर रही हूं। – विजया पवार

6. Kalavati Devi
स्वस्थ रहने के लिए स्वच्छता जरूरी है।
इसके लिए लोगों को जागरूक करने में थोड़ा समय जरूर लगा। लेकिन मुझे पता था कि अगर लोग समझेंगे तो काम आगे बढ़ जाएगा।
मेरा अरमान पूरा हुआ, स्वच्छता को लेकर मेरा प्रयास सफल हुआ। हजारों शौचालय बनवाने में हमें सफलता मिली है।
