Born on January 3, 1831, in a small village in Satara, Maharashtra. Savitribai Phule hailed from a Dalit family, overcoming societal challenges to pursue education.
Despite facing untouchability and discrimination, Savitribai persevered, completing her education and becoming India's first trained female teacher.
Married at the age of 9 to Jyotiba Phule, Savitribai, at 13, joined forces with her husband to establish India's first women's school in 1848.
Savitribai and Jyotiba Phule's efforts extended beyond the first school. They played a crucial role in opening several women's schools nationwide.
The British East India Company honored Savitribai Phule for her significant contributions to education and women's empowerment.
Savitribai Phule's legacy extends beyond education, as she actively participated in the women's liberation movement and fought for the betterment of women's conditions.
On Savitribai Phule Jayanti, let's honor the indomitable spirit of a woman who defied norms, fought for education, and left an enduring impact on society.
