From growing a kilo of mushrooms to winning the Nari Shakti Puraskar, this Bihar Nari is all things inspiring! Years ago, when Bina Devi married into a family of Dhauri village, Munger district, Bihar, things were not any different from any other village of the country. Like the other women, she would spend her days cleaning, cooking and doing household chores limited within the boundaries of her new home. Any work outside the doors of the house was considered beyond the capacity of a woman. Little did anyone know that Bina was different. With the right encouragement and training, this woman would pick up farming equipment, earn the moniker of ‘Mushroom Mahila’ of Munger, empower hundreds of her sisterhood and receive an award from the President of India! All due to the grit and guts she has in abundance.
