June 24: Even in the 21st century, if you think women are meant to only manage the house, family and children, then you are probably living under a rock. There’s no profession or industry where modern women haven’t shown their potential. Poonam Vishal Vidhate is one of the powerful Indian women who has made a huge name in politics thanks to her hard-working and futuristic attitude.
Poonam from the National Congress Party (NCP) is trying to socialise through politics shoulder to shoulder with her husband.
Poonam Vishal Vidhate is a resident of Baner, Pune who has done B.Com from Appasaheb College of Arts, Commerce and Science. Originally from Ambegaon, Poonam’s father was a wrestler and had an excellent reputation in the village.
Poonam’s husband, Vishal Vidhate has been working with NCP leader Baburao Chandere since 2011. When Vishal was given the responsibility of the chairmanship in Ward No 9 of the Baner constituency, he has been working on the 80 percent socialism and 20 percent politics formula. During this time, Poonam continued to take care of the family and set an example in politics and sociology. Staying close to her husband, she tried to get people to understand her. From this, she developed a passion for social work.
When Nationalist Congress Party announced a 50% reservation for women, Poonam Vidhate started participating in the work of the party. Since then, she has tried to solve many problems in society. She also helped the self-help groups in empowerment, tree planting, blood donation camps, job fairs, distribution of food during the pandemic along with distribution of masks, sanitisers, and provision of oxygen beds when needed. In addition, she has contributed to connecting thousands of women through the Haldi-Kunkwa program every year.
On the occasion of Diwali, Baburao Chandere, along with Sameer Chandere, gave a helping hand to thousands of citizens through the equipment distribution program. She joined them and tried to solve various problems related to drinking water, women’s health, waste management, cemetery problem and more. An optimum budget has been dedicated to the development work in the ward and road-building-related works have been carried out.
Poonam has been working day and night for the ward while taking care of her family as well. She has a son named Shaurya and a daughter named Saurakshi. Her goal is to take care of them and educate them. She is also ready to contest elections and is eager to dedicate her life towards the development of the ward.
