Being a moral human.

Beena Rao-Barot was Born on 18/07/1971 in the Patan, Gujarat which is known for its famous World Heritage Site. Since Childhood Mrs. Beena Rao was much inspired by the great personalities like Ramkrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekananda, Vinoba Bhave, Sister Nivedita etc., Their Selfless commitment towards society inspired her the most, Other than such great personalities she is also much inspired from her father YogeshBhai Barot who use to teach violin to blind children in his free time. Beena Rao has completed Graduation form Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University(HNGU) in B.Sc-Chemistry and Masters from Indira Gandhi National Open University(IGNOU),” Delhi” in Masters In Social Work(MSW).

After doing small social work initiatives in neighbouring slum establishments she finally decided to commit her whole life in upliftment of “Halpati” (ST) Community of South Gujarat who even after 73 years of our independence remained Underprivileged unlike other communities who were then given both Social & Educational Rights.

‘Getting Acceptance from these tribal community was the hardest thing Mrs. Beena could do in her whole life, at first she was often exposed to the offended slangs and Curse Words but her determination towards the upliftment of underprivileged society held her strong and now she tends to recognise herself more as one of “Halpati”. During her initial Journey she was often threatened to killed by antisocial elements like Bootleggers to not work in “Halpati” community but her selfless work & principal of “Ahimsa” by Mahatma Gandhi made the anti-social elements her fan. Now the situation is quite different, all the Bootleggers of Southern Gujarat calls Mrs. Beena with the title “Teacher” and they now consider Mrs. Beena as their Sister’.
