If you are looking forward to do something for society, then you should have a big heart, such is the inspiring and motivating story of Ratanamma, who was married 25 years ago but had no children. She adopted her sister's daughter and started taking good care of her, but her world came crashing down when she learned that the little girl suffers from Type - I Diabetes. She could feel the pain of not only her daughter but also other people who suffered from diabetes. She decided to help the people in what ever capacity that she could, this was the new beginning for Ratanamma.
Today Ratanamma, is a well known entity in surrounding villages of Ramnagar District in Karnataka which is 45 Km's away. She is considered no less than a doctor as she doesn't hold any medical degree and how could she, as she has not even completed her 8th grade. Her husband is an auto-rickshaw driver, but still villagers wait for her eagerly. She adorns her white apron and visits the villagers thrice a week along with her diabetes and blood pressure testing kit.
