Hailing from a remote Silauta village in Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh (UP), she has brought about a massive difference not only in her own and her family's life but a palpable change is also visible in the entire village itself.
As a 'Bijli Sakhi' or 'Vidyut Sakhi', Rajshree knocks on each and every door of the village, collects the electricity bill and submits it at the nearest bill payment centres within the deadline.
