New Delhi: President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday conferred the Nari Shakti Puraskar on Odisha’s disability rights activist Sruti Mohapatra for the year 2021 at a special ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhawan, marking International Women’s Day as well as ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’.
Sruti is among 29 people chosen for the prestigious award for the years 2020 and 2021. The award ceremony for 2020 could not be held last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sruti is former Chairperson of the Odisha State Commission for the Protection of Child Rights and currently a member of the National Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Known as the ‘Crusader in a Wheelchair’, she founded the NGOs ‘Swabhiman’ and ‘Share’ in 2001, which work for the upliftment of Divyangjan in Odisha.
