This touching encounter was a culmination of PM Modis earlier acknowledgment of Kamalas commendable work during his Mann Ki Baat radio address. Kamalas journey as an artisan began eight years ago when she started crafting various items like baskets, pen stands, flower pots, and wall hangings from waste materials, including plastic and polythene. Despite facing initial skepticism from her village, Kamala persevered, eventually earning recognition for her innovative work. Moved by PM Modis praise and considering him akin to an elder brother, Kamala took the initiative to create a rakhi from waste materials and sent it to him through the postal service.

Kamalas dedication to environmental sustainability and her creative approach to waste management have not only earned her admiration but also inspired her community to recognize the value of her efforts.
