Savitribai Phule

Today is the important day for the women of India,the first ever woman teacher of this country, Savitribai born on this day in the year of 1831 in the state of Maharashtra.She is the symbol of freedom and enlightenment of womenfolk as she had served the down trodden caste people,especially along with girl children of all communities.In those days,very limited castes had allowed to have education,women's position in education was so pitiable.In such kind of social conditions,Savitribai learned education from her husband Jyotirao Phule and taught girl children,her contribution to women education is laudable with pioneer efforts in the field.

Hence her birthday has been chosen as women's teachers' day.All over India keep celebrating it with joy in memory of her legendary services.She established first women's school in Bhide wada,Pune.She can be considered as a first generation feminist of the country.Google marked this 186th birth anniversary with Google doodle.One whoever serves fellow being will always be forefront in the hearts of people.Savitribai is the great example for the say without any hesitation.
