The women are thankful to Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of Sulabh International - an NGO which has been taking care of them, for the rare puja opportunity bestowed upon them.
Pathak, whose organisation has been working for the welfare of over 900 widows of Vrindavan, Mathura and Varanasi, has drafted a bill for the protection and maintenance of widows and hopes it will become a law soon.
The Padma Bhusan awardee is planning to meet political leaders as well as philanthropists from around the world, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, to pursue his dream project of making the widow protection bill a reality.
