The Prime Minister also mentioned Savitribai Phule and said that she played a significant role in the formation of many social institutions.
“The mention of Savitribai Phule ji is equally important in this reference to Mahatma Phule. Savitribai Phule played a significant role in the formation of many social institutions. As a teacher and a social reformer, she also made the society aware and encouraged it,” said Modi.
