Nareshi Meena from Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan was diagnosed with a tumour in 2018 and underwent surgery in 2019. Unfortunately, the tumour couldn’t be completely removed, so doctors recommended Proton Therapy, which costs Rs 25 to 30 lakhs, to treat the remaining tumour without additional surgery. She found inspiration within her own family and is now dedicated to improving the lives of girls in her community. She remains steadfast as a supervisor in the Women Empowerment Department, to empower women and girls to seize the opportunities available to them.
She shared her noble work on KBC and hoped to amplify the reach of these programs, so that more women benefit from them. Additionally, she hoped to use her potential winnings to fund the treatment for her illness and to reclaim her mother’s cherished jewellery, which holds deep sentimental value. Nareshi’s father, who is a humble farmer, has always encouraged her to pursue her education.
