She remembers her Chemistry teachers, Sir Patki, Tr. Punakala Samant, Tr. Jyoti Sawant, Tr. Varsha Kadam, Pacheco Sir, Ashok Chodankar Sir, Bhattacharjee Sir, Srini Sir, and SP Kamat Sir, among many others, who made Chemistry a fascinating and enjoyable subject.
As a social worker, Sulakshana has worked tirelessly to empower women through the formation of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), awareness programs, and health education initiatives. Her commitment to women’s empowerment has made a significant impact on the lives of many.
During her tenure as President of the BJP Mahila Morcha from 2015 to 2020, Sulakshana led the women’s wing of the party with vision and dedication. She worked to build a strong organizational structure, promote women’s voices, and support various party initiatives.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight, Build anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough, Give the world the best you have anyway.
Your final analysis is between you and God, anyway.”
