From Village Home to the Sarpanch Office: Simran’s Inspiring Tale of Leadership in Rural Punjab
Chandigarh 6 March ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Across the villages of Punjab, thousands of women are quietly rewriting the narrative of rural leadership. This International Women’s Day, Roundglass Foundation celebrates the journey of over 17,000 rural women who have emerged as key drivers of social transformation across the state through community-led programs focused on sustainability, youth development and wellbeing.
Among these emerging leaders is Simran, Sarpanch of Fatehpur village, whose story reflects the broader transformation taking place across rural Punjab. In a system where women elected to village leadership roles have often been overshadowed by male relatives, Simran represents a different model of governance. Stepping into her role with agency and purpose, she actively oversees local initiatives such as educational Learn Labs, waste management systems and youth sports programs while working closely with the community to address environmental and developmental challenges. Her journey illustrates how training, mentorship and community support can enable women to lead effectively in grassroots governance.The Roundglass Foundation model focuses on equipping rural women with practical skills and opportunities that allow them to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
