Chhavi Rajawat, the youngest sarpanch in India, who scripted a success story by bringing winds of change in her ancestral village of Soda in Rajasthan and made regular media headlines, is now being discussed for her absence from the media lights.
Chhavi did quit her cushy corporate career to devote her time to make the villagers financially self-sufficient to lead a quality socio-economic life.
She challenged the stereotype image of a sarpanch as she never wore a ‘ghoonghat’ and roamed around in jeans.
She further challenged all kinds of gender bias and worked on core areas such as water, sanitation, electricity and roads in order to ensure that the villagers lead a quality life.
She also partnered with the concerned stakeholders to get toilets constructed in the village, besides working to improve the condition of roads.
However, since last few years, her absence is being discussed widely around as no one holds clue what are the present projects she working on.
While some say, she was busy collecting funds, others say she has been engaged in teaching.
A few prominent media houses tried to contact her, but to no avail. Hence where is she and what is she upto is being discussed widey.
But it is a fact that nation needs more such change makers to script more such success stories.
