The 73rd amendment to the Constitution of India has ensured that 33% of the seats in all local governing bodies are to be reserved for women. In last 13 years, over 1 million women have been elected to their 'gram panchayats'. This is the story of one such woman, Maya Sorte, a 37 year old Dalit from Vadwal, Maharashtra. Maya's empathy for people and commitment to her work has ensured that she has been elected for a second term in her village 'gram panchayat'.
