It is beyond imagination that they could come across people like Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, ‘Bharat Ratna’ Dr. D.K. Karve (founder of Stree Shikshan Sansthan” of Pune). Taking inspiration from the latter, my parents established and nurturedthe first girls fully residential educational institution in Bihar named Balika Vidyapith at Lakhisarai in Bihar.
