Rajeshwari Devi is a humble and courageous traditional midwife (dai) from a remote village in Siwan district, Bihar, who has dedicated over three decades of her life to assisting in safe childbirths where medical facilities are either absent or out of reach.
In areas where maternal healthcare is still a major concern, Rajeshwari Devi provides critical support to pregnant women offering prenatal advice, ensuring cleanliness during delivery, and encouraging hospital births whenever possible. Despite her vital role, Rajeshwari Devi has never sought recognition or rewards. Her quiet, consistent service, done with empathy and dedication, makes her a true unsung hero, a guardian angel in a sari who has earned the trust and gratitude of generations of families.
