Samarpan Sanstha
A woman’s life is often filled with numerous struggles, and if she is physically challenged, her life becomes even more complex, spent battling her own pain. Yet, among them, there are exceptional women who not only triumph over their struggles but also turn their pain into a remedy for others. These women can truly be called “Super Women.”

Today, we share the heartwarming and inspiring story of Savita Singh, a Superwoman from one of the backward districts Ghazipur near Varanasi (SARNATH), Uttar Pradesh of India, who has not only overcome her disability and limitations but has also transformed her pain into a source of healing for others. Savita Singh, despite the excruciating agony of disability caused by polio, embarked on a journey through rugged paths, battling her way to success. She made a resolute decision to make those paths easier for others facing similar challenges. Today, she is a government employee and runs an institution to support people with disabilities, giving them wings to soar. Her hostel houses 250 disabled children, who are given a loving and nurturing environment to thrive.

Savita Singh has been honored with numerous awards for her incredible work and dedication. In 2011, she received the State Award from the Government of Uttar Pradesh. In 2014, the Commissioner of Varanasi honored her for her exceptional contributions. In 2015, the renowned musician A.R. Rahman presented her with the Cavinkare Ability Award. On December 3, 2018, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, also recognized her relentless efforts.
Savita Singh shares that she was born physically normal, but six months later, she contracted polio, which left one of her legs paralyzed. Facing the daunting challenges of disability, Savita showed remarkable determination and worked diligently. Her relentless efforts paid off, and she secured the position of a superintendent officer in the RED Department of Uttar Pradesh of India.
Although Savita achieved her goals, she never forgot the rocky paths she had walked. She resolved to assist others like her and founded the ‘Samarpan Sansthan,’ dedicating herself to empowering people with disabilities. She also started the ‘Rajeshwari Disabled School,’ where she cares for 250 children, providing them with education and vocational training to ensure they can lead independent lives. Savita extends her unwavering support to destitute women and aims to help mentally challenged women as well. Her selfless dedication and compassionate heart make her a beacon of hope and an inspiration for all
