Chhavi Rajawat | Hot Trends
Chhavi Rajawat was born in Rajasthan. A jeans-clad young woman hardly fits the bill for a sarpanch in rural Rajasthan. And so, Chhavi Rajawat, an MBA, had raised eyebrows last year for literally riding her way through the panchayat election and becoming the sarpanch of Soda village. A year later, Chhavi raised the same kind of awe at the 11th Info-Poverty World Conference held at the UN. The two-day panel discussion at the UN held on March 24 and 25 was to highlight how civil society can implement its actions and discussed at length the role of society in fighting poverty and promoting development.
Chhavi Rajawat is an alumna of Rishi Valley School, Bangalore, Lady Shri Ram College for Women (University of Delhi) and a management graduate from Indian Institute of Modern Management, Pune now known as Balaji Institute of Modern Management Pune.
In the past year alone in Soda, the villagers and I have brought about a radical change in the village purely through our own efforts by providing water, electricity, toilets, schools and jobs. We have no outside support no NGO help, no public or private sector help, she shared at the UN meet.
