Sneha Mohandoss, inspired by her mother, started an initiative called Foodbank India. She works with volunteers, many of whom are outside India, to eradicate hunger.

"Giving up is never an option. Forget your limitations and take on the world with confidence and hope," she wrote on the prime minister''s handle.
Iyer is a motivational speaker, disability activist and a model.
Arifa Jaan from Kashmir had always dreamt of reviving the traditional crafts of Kashmir as, according to her, this was a means to empower local women.
"I saw the condition of women artisans and so I began working to revise "namda" craft ...When tradition meets modernity, wonders can happen. I experienced this in my work. It is designed to suit the modern day market," she wrote.
Introducing herself, Kalpana Ramesh, a water conservator said "be a warrior but of a different kind. Be a water warrior".
"Small efforts can make a big impact ... Contribute by using water responsibly, harvesting rainwater, saving lakes, recycling used water and creating awareness," she wrote.
Vijaya Pawar promotes handicrafts from the Banjara community of rural Maharashtra.
"I have been working on this for the last two decades and have been assisted by a thousand more women," she wrote.
Kalavati Devi of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh collected money to build toilets. She said if you want to achieve something, do not look back and ignore the bitter words of people.
"The place where I used to live, had filth all around. But there was a strong belief that through cleanliness we can change this situation. I decided to convince people. Collected money to build toilets," she said.
Veena Devi of Munger in Bihar proved that where there is will, there is a way. She did not allow lack of space to create hurdles in her plan to cultivate mushrooms and grew the crop under her bed.
"Everything can be achieved by will. My real recognition came from cultivating one kilo of mushrooms under the bed. This not only made me self-sufficient, but gave a new life by increasing my confidence," she said.

मेरी वास्तविक पहचान पलंग के नीचे एक किलो मशरूम की खेती से शुरू हुई थी।
लेकिन इस खेती ने मुझे न केवल आत्मनिर्भर बनाया, बल्कि मेरे आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाकर एक नया जीवन दिया।

मैं जिस जगह पे रहती थी, वहां हर तरफ गंदगी ही गंदगी थी। लेकिन दृढ़ विश्वास था कि स्वच्छता के जरिए हम इस स्थिति को बदल सकते हैं।

लोगों को समझाने का फैसला किया। शौचालय बनाने के लिए घूम-घूमकर एक-एक पैसा इकट्ठा किया।
आखिरकार सफलता हाथ लगी।

Acceptance is the greatest reward we can give to ourselves. We can’t control our lives but we surely can control our attitude towards life. At the end of the day, it is how we survive our challenges that matters most.
