The woman, Bharulata Kamble told at her felicitation programme held in Navsari on Sunday. Earlier, she had made a halt at Vadodara where she was felicitated at Mayfair Atrium art gallery before motoring down to Navsari. 

During her journey, she traversed across 32 countries in 57 days from United Kingdom to India to spread the message of ‘Save girls, educate girls’. 

Speaking on the occasion, Kamble said, “through this solo drive, I connected with people in 32 countries and raised funds for setting up a healthcare facility (modern hospital) in my hometown in Navsari. I have seen my grandfather die on a hospital bed due to lack of adequate medicare in Navsari.” 

She also is said to be the first woman to visit most countries in only 57 days (Reached India at Moreh Check post in Manipur on Nov 8), covering distance of over 32,000 kilometres.
