Shanti Devi

Shanti Devi Paswan and her husband Shivan Paswan overcame social stigma to become globally recognised Godna painters.

Shanti Devi, mother of lawyer Umesh Pal thanked Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and expressed her full faith in the Uttar Pradesh government, for giving "justice" after gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed was shot dead.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday paid tribute to Padma Shri awardee Shanti Devi and said that she will be remembered as a voice of the poor and underprivileged.

In a rare move, a poverty-stricken woman chose to sell her four goats for financing the construction of a toilet at her house in a village in Bihar's Rohtas district over the treatment for her paralysed husband as she considers it a shame for a woman to defecate in the open.

As many as 20 children fell ill on Wednesday after eating mid-day meal at a primary school in Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh.
