Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], March 8 (ANI/NewsVoir): India for several centuries now, women have occupied a pivotal position in the Indian culture. Our scriptures project a woman as the mother of mankind, the goddess of wealth and knowledge, the destroyer of evil and the nurturer of good.
Over the years, there have been numerous women who have worked for the betterment of the lesser privileged with their conviction and valor. A lady who has remained low profile and offered selfless service for social welfare, Dr Vimla Lalbhai, is one such example.
Born on August 21, 1927, she is a surgeon by education. She completed her FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. After marriage, she devoted a major part of her life to social work and is continuing the legacy of her father-in-law, Kasturbhai Lalbhai and husband, Siddharth Lalbhai.
