Women participate in family’s every moment
The women in rural areas live with the idea of raising children. But they are a valuable part of successful progress and every moment of family, be it happy or sad. But, many women even today do not come forward to express their feelings. Renuka Gurav has called every woman should participate in the development of her village with their husbands.
Dedicated the honour to the village
