Nirmala Kumari Phulara Becomes First Woman Divisional Forest Officer from Sudurpashchim Province

Dhangadhi. Nirmala Kumari Phulara's mother was not educated. But she knew the importance of the letters of the pen very well. Having spent her life in grass-gathering and farm work, she always told her daughter Nirmala one thing - 'Instead of paying attention to grass-gathering, you should learn to live your life from the tip of the pen.'

With the support and advice of her mother, 44-year-old Nirmala has today become the first woman 'Divisional Forest Officer', i.e., Deputy Secretary, from Sudurpashchim Province. She entered government service as a Ranger and has now reached the upper echelons of the forest service, becoming a source of inspiration for many.
