Veena Devi from Munger set examples and made headlines for growing as much as a kilogram of mushrooms under the bed. From then, Devi says impossible is nothing.
Devi is a living example of the famous saying, “Where there’s a will there’s a way”. On the occasion of Women’s Day, Devi got a chance to share her story and voice her message not just to the entire nation but to the world through PM Modi’s social media handles.
“Today the women of Munger are presenting an example to the whole country. From farming at home to selling the produce in the haat, the whole task is carried on her shoulders. That’s why I will say the same to all the women of the country - get out, work yourself and then see how good it feels,” she said in her message.

I became a sarpanch. It is a pleasure for me that many women like myself are getting the opportunity to train,” her message of the prime minister’s social account read.
