Maharashtra’s history has stood witness to the genius of women in politics, time and again. Women across the state have often held the political mace firmly in their hands whenever it was needed. From Shalini Patil, Pratibha Devisingh Patil to Aditi Tatkare the youngest female politician of Maharashtra, we have seen a series of influential female political figures from time to time. Here is one such humble female politician of Maharashtra – her struggles and ultimate achievements in the power corridors as well as social life are known to all.

For every woman who wants to work in the social field, she can be a great model.

However, her contribution towards the progress of Maharashtra and its people can never be overlooked. Author, philanthropist and first woman Deputy Chairperson of council Shiv Sena legislator Dr Neelam Gorhe was unanimous choice. She is the first woman to be appointed to this key post after the creation of Maharashtra. In new political equations Neelam Tai was not made a member of any ‘mahamandal’ or given a berth in the ministry.

She is one of the Shiv Sainik who is adored by all other politicians and political parties of Maharashtra. She never shied away from taking stand for her party; she is also one of the most favourite Shiv Sainik of media persons. Even today media knocks her for quote and she humbly tells them I am no more a spokesperson, but if the issue is of human rights without any hesitation she makes her statement. She is one rare example of humanity.
