Meet our Influencer Didi, Geeta Devda

Описание: What does it take for a woman to reclaim her own life and then dedicate it to others?

For Geeta Devda of Balipur village, the answer was courage and one determined step outside the door.

Not long ago, Geeta couldn't leave her own home without permission. A survivor of domestic violence, her world was confined to children, farm, and silence. Today, she rides her scooty through Balipur as a Coordinator for her Cluster Level Federation, earning her own living, and carrying the message of gender equality to every woman in Madhya Pradesh.

Her turning point? A space that believed in her voice.

Through the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY - NRLM) and with the support of development designers, Geeta found the power she always had.

This #InternationalWomensDay, as the world demands Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls, Geeta's journey reminds us that justice doesn't begin in courtrooms alone. It begins when one woman in one village decides: enough.

As a #InfluencerDidi, Geeta shows us what it looks like when rural women don't just survive systems, they transform them.

At Transform Rural India, we co-design pathways that unlock women's agency and build inclusive, responsive villages.
