The Eternal Flame of Service: An Inspiring Journey from Sister Nivedita to Dr. Malhotra

History often keeps many names hidden in its folds—those whose contributions to India’s progress are invaluable, yet forgotten by generations. One such name is Sister Nivedita, the disciple of Swami Vivekananda, who dedicated her entire life to India. Born on October 28, 1867, as Margaret Elizabeth Noble, she made India her home at the age of 30. A Vision of Education and Empowerment Sister Nivedita believed that education was the only weapon to fight social evils. She started a school for girls in Bagbazar, Kolkata, which was inaugurated by Ma Sarada. Today, we carry forward her ideology through our NGO, Mahila Suraksha Samiti (Hisar).

Our Foundation: Dr. Kaushalya Malhotra (1919 – 2013)Our organization has been blessed to grow under the visionary leadership of the late Dr. Kaushalya Malhotra (renowned Gynaecologist and Surgeon). Born in 1919, Dr. Malhotra pursued medicine at a time when education for women was a rare achievement. Since the NGO's registration in 1992, she led from the front, launching extensive 'Health Awareness Campaigns' in underserved areas to educate women about hygiene and wellness.Her affection for Hisar was profound. Even though she lived with her family in Bhopal, she chose to spend her final months here with us in Hisar. Following her passing in 2013, the responsibility of carrying forward her noble legacy fell upon my shoulders. We are what we are today because of her blessings and vision.
