ABOUT THE BOOK

Women of Influence a compilation of the work of a few women
who have walked that extra mile and made a difference despite
major pressures in governance. Most of the books in the public
space are autobiographies of men narrating how important they were
and the important people they interacted with daily while in service.
Rajni Sekhri Sibal narrates stories that have been untold - about the
work of ten strong and effective women who left an impact.

Having worked in the civil services for thirty-seven years, Rajni has
seen things at close quarters. This book is a collection of narratives
that provide an insight into some episodes where the protagonist
displayed immense courage and commitment. These stories span
different generations-the oldest is set at the Bikaner border during the
Indo-Pak war and the latest about the UP sand mafia in 2015. The
subjects and geographies are different, ranging from a panchayat
election in Punjab during the height of militancy in the 80s to Naxal
prone Chanderpur in Maharashtra to the Perumon tragedy in Kerala
and right across to the orchid plantations in Arunachal.
