For Urmila Devi, age is just a number. The lady is 90 years old but has the exuberance of youth when it comes to serving society. She is now contesting the upcoming Panchayat elections in Bihar, as per The New Indian Express.
Despite her age, Urmila most of the time is outside her house with her son and she meets people and listens to their problems.
Urmila is the head of Hathini panchayat in Bihar¡¯s Rohtas district. The polls are on September 24.?
¡°I am crossing 90 years of age, but still want to take care of the people of my panchayat as a grandmother," she said.?
When she was 85, Urmila was appointed as woman mukhiya due to her good relations with people no matter what their caste or creed.?
"Wherever any problem occurs, I used to reach as and sort it out as a grandmother would,¡± she added.??
While she only studied till Class 7, Urmila has a keen eye to sort out problems and is aware of the Government welfare schemes.
¡°You can move across the panchayat wearing shoes even during rainy days and your shoes won¡¯t catch any mud,¡± her son Dayanand Singh claimed.?
This lady is proof that age is hardly an excuse when it comes to doing good for others.?
