Parbati Giri
Parbati Giri left home at the tender age of 12 years. She got to 'Bari Ashram' near Jajpur, where she was properly trained as a Satyagrihi in the short span of 2 years. She propagated Mahatma Gandhi's message of Swaraj from village to village and also organised people against British Rule. She trained people for weaving and thread making. In 1940 she began to mobilize people in her village to participate in the Khadi movement. She joined the Quit India movement in 1942 at the young age of 16 only. She joined the rallies shouting anti-British slogans and never stopped from demonstrating her anger against British establishment.
