Andhra Mahila Sabha, established in 1921 during the Swadeshi Movement, is deeply rooted in the ideals of India's independence struggle. It traces its Read moreorigins to the inspiring journey of Durgabai, who, ignited by Mahatma Gandhi's principles, dedicated her life to serving the nation. Initially focusing on education, she founded the Balika Hindi Pathasala, which later evolved into the Andhra Mahila Sabha, with institutions in Madras and Hyderabad. Durgabai's commitment extended beyond education; she actively participated in the freedom movement, enduring imprisonment during the Salt Satyagraha. Her experiences in jail spurred her to study law, leading to a distinguished career as a criminal lawyer. Recognized for her contributions, she served in key governmental roles, advocating for social welfare and women's empowerment.

Her journey from education to activism, marked by imprisonment and advocacy, reflects her unwavering commitment to social justice and empowerment.
