Led march from Delhi to Pura Mahadev (Meerut), to challenge the Shankaracharaya of Puri for a public debate against his obscurantists views on Sati and on women’s right to equality in the Vedas.

Launched an agitation, along with other women’s organisations, against large scale female foeticide. This created conditions for the Government of India to pass a bill banning the sex-determination tests.
