- Relu Vasave, an Anganwadi worker from Nandurbar, Maharashtra, rows 14 kms on the Narmada to the remotest parts of her village to provide nutrition and supplements to expecting mothers and newborns
- In 2014, when Relu joined as an Anganwadi worker with the Zilla Parishad, little did she know that she would be required to row a boat to attend to pregnant women and newborns.Her job involves monitoring the health of pregnant women and children up to six years of age. Giving doses of medication and nutritional supplements, as per the schedule and government protocol is all a part of her duty.
- Rowing a stretch of 7 km each way requires two hours of her time but a motorboat can reduce the time taken by half or at least 45 minutes. It will also reduce the physical effort required,” Ramesh says.Relu’s husband says that a motor worth Rs 40,000 can be fitted to the small boat that she rows. “I have discussed the solutions, including getting a new motorboat, with the Zilla Parishad officials and hopefully we can get more support,” he adds.

Since then he has ferried over 5,500 patients from across 20 villages in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district. In 2017, Karimul was also awarded with a Padma Shri for his service. Karimul is a stellar example of the phrase – ‘service above self’.

Basic tests like sugar and blood pressure are also conducted at the hospital. In the case of an emergency, I am also trained to administer saline drips,” he says.
