This Women’s Day, we celebrate the inspiring story of a forest officer – a true woman of courage. Her work at the grassroots level exemplifies dedication and resilience. Sharing such stories of our unsung heroes not only honors their contributions but also boosts their confidence and courage to continue making a difference.

The story of P.G. Sudha, a Beat Forest Officer from Ernakulam district in Kerala, highlights the vital work of a forest officer at the grassroots level. Recognitions like this not only shed light on our unsung heroes but also boost their confidence and inspire others.

Ramesh Pandey, a 1996 batch IFS officer, shared a video by Mahindra Thar that showcases Sudha’s remarkable journey. Her story is not just one of professional commitment, but also a powerful example of women’s empowerment and unwavering dedication to her community.

In 2016, Ms. Sudha took on the challenging task of improving the lives of the local tribal communities in her area. One of her biggest concerns was the lack of proper sanitation. Open toilets not only posed a significant health risk but also endangered the villagers, who faced threats from wild animals such as snakes, elephants, and wolves.

Undeterred by the difficulties, Sudha set out to change the situation. Over the course of three months, she successfully constructed 500 toilets, bringing much-needed relief to the tribal population. Despite the challenges posed by narrow roads and dense jungles, she traveled 15 kilometers every day, carrying construction materials in her trusted Mahindra 4×4.

Her dedication and resolve make her a true symbol of courage, inspiring countless others to make a difference in their communities.
