Smt. Bajigauri D. Munshi
Smt. Bajigauri D. Munshi was born in a Nagar Brahmin family to Shri Dolathrai and Mahijan Gauri. Unfortunately, she became widow at the young age of 22. Besides being practical in her approach, she was mentally and emotionally strong and it is evident in the efficient manner in which she handled the Ashram administration. Smt. Shivgauri K. Gajjar was born in a religious Gajjar family. She possessed simplicity and foresight. She too became a widow at the age of 17 years. She was instrumental in making Vanita Vishram a self-reliant trust. She managed the financial aspect of the trust diligently.
The painstaking efforts of these two widows and the humble beginning of Vanita Vishram in 1907 have resulted in a phenomenal academic proliferation over a period of hundred years.
