50-year-old
Phoolbasan
Yadav
has
been
tirelessly
working
towards
the
development
of
economically
and
socially
backward
women
of
Chhattisgarh,
India.
Yadav's
struggle
against
poverty
to
achieve
self-empowerment
and
later
helping
to
empower
others,
serves
as
an
inspiration
in
itself.
Resolute
in
her
mission
to
see
women
break
the
shackles
of
patriarchy,
Yadav,
through
her
self-help
groups,
not
just
aids
women
in
being
economically
self-sufficient
by
creating
employment,
but
also
looks
after
the
village
needs
like
sanitation,
health,
water,
spreads
awareness
against
child
marriage.
Apart
from
that,
she
established
a
Mahila
Fauj
to
mobilise
a
de-addiction
movement
in
villages
to
keep
a
check
on
cases
of
domestic
violence.
When
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan
welcomed
Phoolbasan
Yadav,
she
went
on
to
add,
"Firstly,
I
would
really
want
to
thank
everyone.
It
feels
like
a
dream
to
be
here
on
this
platform
and
I
would
like
to
thank
Sony
channel
for
this
opportunity.
They
say
that
if
you
have
dedication
and
the
will
power,
you
can
achieve
everything.
I
would
like
to
thank
my
Guru
dev
because
of
whom
I
am
here
today.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
my
team
of
2
lakh
women
from
Maa
Bamleshwari
and
every
household
from
Chhattisgarh.
Gaon
ki
matti
phenkne
wali
aur
gobar
uthane
wali
mahila,
Bol
na
to
nahi
aata
lekin
karm
karna
aata
hai,
zindagi
jeena
kaise
hai.
Mahilaon
ko
kaise
zindagi
jeeni
chchiye
wo
aata
hai.
Pehle
gaiyya,
bakri
charate
the...
ab
mahilaon
ko
charate
hain,
zindagi
jeene
ke
liye."
When
Mr
Bachchan
asked
her
how
she
understood
the
nitty-gritties
involved
in
finances
and
running
a
successful
organization,
Yadav
went
on
to
promptly
reply,
"If
you
stay
alone,
these
things
will
never
cross
your
mind.
For
example,
if
you
hit
a
cat
or
a
dog
with
a
stone,
they
will
run
away.
But
try
pelting
a
beehive
with
a
stone.
The
bees
will
attack
you.
This
is
the
might
of
a
sangathan!"
With
such
simplicity
she
explained
that
when
you
are
alone,
you
are
scared...
but
together,
you
can
become
a
collective
force
which
is
unstoppable.
Impressed
by
the
perspective
and
the
determination
of
Phoolbasan
Yadav,
both
Mr.
Bachchan
and
Renuka
Shahane
amidst
a
thunderous
round
of
applause,
celebrated
her
victories.
Renuka
Shahane,
who
accompanied
Phoolbasan
Yadav
on
the
Hot
Seat
championing
her
cause,
said,
"Hearing
her
story,
even
though
I
am
well-educated,
I
feel
bad,
because
having
been
educated,
why
dint
I
ever
think
of
doing
something
for
the
society
just
as
courageously
as
her
(Phoolbasan).
Maybe
after
this
show,
I
would
want
to
do
something." Speaking
to
Phoolbasan
Yadav,
she
further
added,
"Aaj
do
lakh
mahilayein
aapke
sath
judi
hui
hain,
ab
se
do
lakh
ek...
mujhe
bhi
jod
dijiye
usmai!"
