3. Introduction Savitribai Jyoti Phule [3 January 1831 -10 march 1897] was an Indian social reformer, educationalist and poet from Maharashtra. Along with her husband , in Maharashtra, she played an important and vital role in improving women's rights in India. She is considered to be the pioneer of India's feminist movement . She is known for the “ first female teacher of India ”

4. Savitribai Phule was the youngest daughter of Lakshmi and Khanduri encase Patil, she had three siblings. Savitribai was married to her husband JYOTI Rao phale at the age of 9 .since they had no kids they adopted their own. Girls in those days were forced to get married since then Savitr Ibai being a girl child of 9year had no option rather than marriage Early life

5. Savitribai was illiterate at the time of her marriage . As she got married at the age of 9 she didn’t got the time to study so Jyoti Rao educated educated savitribai and sagunabai[his cousin sister.] Savitribai Phule friend also contributed in the further studies. Just after that she enrolled herself in two teacher’s training programs .

6. Problem faced The life of Savitribai Phule and Jyotiba Phule is a saga of great sacrifice and courage. To truly gauge the magnitude of Savitribai’s contributions, we need to understand the social conditions of her time. Phule’s lived in Pune, home of the most reactionary regime in India at the time. It was described as the ‘place of darkness’. The Phule’s challenged and fought all these orthodox and reactionary ideologies, in thought and action. Most of us know Savitribai Phule as India's first female teacher, who helped her husband Jyotirao Phule establish the first school for girls. But here's the tale of the atrocities and abuses she had to face when she started to work. When it was obvious that simple words and rumors wouldn’t help deter Savitribai and Jyotirao from their goal of providing education to girls, society decided to take another path. Going to the girls’ school to teach became a giant ordeal for Savitribai. She faced innumerable abuses and listened to obscenities heaped on her on the way to teach.

7. Lalitha Dhara writes about how a well-built ruffian stood in her path and told her that if she did not stop educating the Mahar's and Mangs, she would have to pay a heavy prize. A crowd gathered to watch the drama unfold, but none helped her. The unfazed Savitribai slapped him hard. The stunned man ran away, and so did the onlookers. The shocking news spread like wildfire all over the city of Pune and finally brought a stop to the every-day abuse. Groups of orthodox men followed the first female teacher of India on her way to work. They threw rotten eggs, cow dung, tomatoes, and stones. They abused her in obscene , language. Once, she couldn’t take it anymore and decided to give up. But her husband convinced her to stay strong. However, things got out of hand.

8. What she suffered Savitribai was subject to intense harassment everyday. However, She relentlessly fought against the dominant caste system and worked towards the upliftment of the marginalized. She demanded dignity for all women, for which she, along with her husband Jyotirao Phule worked their entire lives. Her husband washer strength, it could be fairly portrayed how both of them supported each other. Once, when the everyday abuses got out of hand and Savitri lost her courage to some extent. Her husband gave her two sarees, a course one to wear on the way to work which would be soiled by the garbage thrown at her; another fresh saree to change into before she started work when she reached the school. While returning, she could change into the same course saree to again take the filth from society.

9. How she overcome her problems She continued in this manner for a while, but Retired academician Lalitha Dhara who has authored several books on the Phule's and Dr. Ambedkar writes: She would stop by and politely tell them, “My brothers, I am doing the noble job of educating your sisters. The cow dung and stones that you are pelting on me are not a deterrent, but rather an inspiration for me. It is as if you are showering petals on me. While I vow to serve my sisters, I also pray, 'May God bless you.’ Empowered, Savitribai Phule established herself and more schools for women and girls till she was honored for her exemplary work by the British government.

10. Husband Support And Contribution Jyotirao Phule encouraged his wife Savitribai Phule to get educated. The male dominated society denied education for women but Jyoti Rao taught his wife to read and write. He started to educate his wife at home and trained her to become a teacher. She and her husband was pioneers of women education in the country. With the assistance of her husband, Savitribai helped women to seek education and equality. She contributed in many aspects to help women. Her remarkable contributions in education, in promoting gender equality are:

11. Her contribution : First Female teacher and modern feminist in India. Her work was mostly about bringing equality and justice to oppressed class and against inequality. Savitribai Phule and Jyotirao Phule worked for widow remarriage. they opposed child marriage and sati pratha. Established a school for the lower class in Marathwada, Maharashtra. She was also associated with a social reform society called ‘Satyashodhak Samaj’ founded by Jyotirao on September 24, 1873, in Pune.  The objective of the samaj, which included Muslims, Non-Brahman, Brahmans, and government officials as members, was to free women, Shudra, Dalit, and other less privileged ones from getting oppressed and exploited. Savitribai Phule started her own school for girls' education in Pune in 1848. She opened Mahila Sewa Mandal in 1852 to raise  awareness about women’s rights. Along with Jyotirao Phule, she opened a care center called Balhatya Pratibandhak Griha" for the pregnant rape victims to provide shelter to rape victims and avoid infanticide.  With Jyotirao Phule, she had opened 18 schools for girls.  Thus we can say her contribution was mainly focused on education of the scheduled castes and women education.  

12. Phule, along with B. R. Ambedkar and Annabhau Sathe has become an iconic figure for the upliftment of backward classes. The first ‘Satyashodhak’(no-dowry)marriage was initiated by Savitribai. Phule is the founder of India’s first school for girls called Bhide Wada in Pune in 1948. Savitribai Phule is one of the first published women in modern India. Her poems like “ Kavya Phule ” and “ Bavan Kashi Subodh Ratnakar ” were published in 1934 and 1982 respectively . She advocated and spread values such as humanism, liberty, equality, brotherhood, and the importance of education in society. Achievements

13. WHAT SHE IS KNOWN FOR

14. Conclusion Savitribai being the first female teacher left a great impact on girls education because of her great efforts today women's are able to prove the gender equality Although there are still some backward area where the mentality regarding girl child education is very poor but because of her revolutionary actions in her eighteens now girl child has been considered to be the primitive thing. She even took care of untouchables and child marriage. At last let`s conclude this by saying all her contribution and struggle which she faced was endless.
