Her efforts have led to the establishment of new schools and improvements to existing ones, resulting in an increase in the number of children attending school.
Infrastructure development has also been a critical area of focus for Dr. Nimabalkar. She has worked on improving the roads and sanitation facilities in the area, which has made transportation easier and reduced the incidence of waterborne diseases.
Dr. Nimabalkar’s work has been recognized by various organizations, and she has received several awards for her contributions towards community development. Her story is an inspiration to many, and it highlights the importance of elected representatives’ role in community development.
