"I visit them twice a week, sometimes more often if they need me. The terrain is a little difficult and there is always a threat of wild animals, but I do my best. It's difficult to make the trip by myself so I ask nearby male workers to help me," she told ANI.

A local villager told ANI, "She brings us whatever we need, without having to ask also. She gets dalia and suji for the kids, and whenever she finds out that someone in the village is sick she brings medicines. She even takes us to the hospital when the ailment is very serious."
