During the event, Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta spoke about the struggles of Savitribai Phule. She said, "Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. The book 'SavitriBai Phule: Her Life, Her Relationships, Her Legacy' aligns perfectly with the mission of fostering education, empowerment, and positive change in the lives of the under-served."

This event was made possible by the Tagore Academy, located in Faridabad, which generously donated 500 copies of the  book 'SavitriBai Phule: Her Life, Her Relationships, Her Legacy' to Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust. The book, hailed as a masterpiece, is authored by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta. It delves into the life, relationships, and enduring legacy of the iconic SavitriBai Phule., India's first female teacher.

Over 60 scholarship winners from the Chikitsak School personally received copies of 'SavitriBai Phule: Her Life, Her Relationships, Her Legacy.' This gesture was aimed to encourage the habit of reading among the children and also to serve as an inspiration to respect the freedoms conferred upon us by Savitribai Phule.

Rajiv Mehta, trustee of the Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust, expressed his gratitude for the generous donation by Tagore Academy and emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in shaping a better future for the underprivileged.
