With an astonishing net worth of $36 billion, she is India's richest woman. According to the <keyword id="962341" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bloomberg-billionaires-index" source="Orion">Bloomberg Billionaires Index</keyword>, her net worth zoomed at $9.5 billion in 2024, making her the only Indian woman in the top 10 of Forbes’ list of the richest women in the world that year. <h2> A Legacy of Leadership</h2>Savitri Jindal's journey began in 2005, following the unexpected death of her husband, Om Prakash Jindal, the visionary founder of the Jindal Group. Thrust into the helm of a vast conglomerate with interests in steel, power, <keyword id="6378916" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cement" source="Orion">cement</keyword>, and infrastructure, she faced immense challenges. Yet, her determination and astute leadership transformed these challenges into opportunities, propelling the Jindal Group to unprecedented heights. Under Savitri Jindal's guidance, the Jindal Group flourished, becoming a cornerstone of India's industrial sector. Some of the flagship companies of the Jindal group are Jindal Saw Limited, JSW Steel, Jindal Stainless Steel Limited and Jindal Steel and Power Limited. She’s currently the chairperson emerita of the O.P. Jindal Group, and also the president of Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha. <h2>Beyond the Boardroom</h2>Savitri Jindal's influence extends beyond the boardroom. She has made significant contributions to public service and philanthropy. In 2005, Jindal was elected to the Haryana Vidhan Sabha from Haryana’s Hisar constituency, which was earlier represented by her late husband Om Prakash Jindal for a long time. In 2009, she was re-elected to the constituency and was appointed the cabinet minister in the Haryana Government on 29 October 2013. She transitioned to the Bharatiya Janata Party in March this year. <h2>A Broader Trend of Empowerment</h2>Savitri Jindal's rise to prominence is not just a personal triumph but a reflection of a broader trend in India. Women are breaking barriers and redefining success in the business world. Influential figures like Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and Falguni Nayar are reshaping the narrative of corporate leadership and success, proving that the boardroom is no longer an exclusively male domain. Savitri Jindal's story is one of perseverance, strategic vision, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. Her leadership has not only fortified the Jindal Group's position as an industrial powerhouse but has also inspired a new generation of women leaders in India.

Meet Savitri Jindal: The richest woman in India, with a net worth of $36 billion!

Meet <keyword id="3422364" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Savitri-Kashyap">Savitri Kashyap</keyword>, a young <keyword id="6501319" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="tribal-girl">tribal girl</keyword> belonging to a small farmer family from Chhattisgarh’s <keyword id="68723" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bastar">Bastar</keyword> district who has become the talk of the town lately, after she recently cracked the highly-competitive IIT-JEE (Advanced) exam this year. 
 Before we tell you more about her and her feat, it’s important to throw some light on the city she hails from. Just 2 days back, at least 45 Maoists surrendered before police and a total of 240 of them have given up since the start of the year. Living in this place, where crimes like fake encounters, cold-blooded murders, and rapes are rampant, it’s as close as one can get to hell. Maoists here have taken up arms against the government and urge many like <keyword id="166738" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Savitri">Savitri</keyword>’s family to either join them in their violence, or be ready to be tortured or killed. The women are raped at their own will. Fear runs through this society day and night. These extremists are also against any kind of education being given to children, especially if its state-sponsored because their fight is against the government. 
 
In such circumstances, for Savitri to be able to secure an All India Rank of 1135 in one of India’s toughest competitive exam when her family is not financially sound enough to afford her education, is a huge feat. 
 
The humble girl credits her success entirely to the government assistance she received in being able to arrange the resources to study and prepare for the exam. "Had it not been for my teachers, I couldn't have done this," she says. 
 
The government programme she enrolled herself in is called 'Prayas Programme' which was started back in 2010 by the state's tribal welfare department. Students from the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) districts and other tribal areas are kept in tribal hostels in the capital Raipur and are imparted coaching along with the regular studies at the higher secondary level. However, this too didn’t come easy for Savitri, as she had to appear for an entrance exam and qualify it to be able to avail the benefits of the programme. 
 
But, once she got into the program, she could get the books to study and guidance from her school teachers to prepare for the exam. Soon, she became the lone kid from not only Bastar, but Chhattisgarh to crack IIT-JEE (Mains). Time flew, as she continued studying hard with a newer self confidence, only to crack the JEE Advanced as well! 
 Savitri’s father <keyword id="3424524" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="mahadev-kashyap">Mahadev Kashyap</keyword>, is entirely dependent on his 10 acres of land for providing a basic life to his six daughters and a son. He is a proud father as three of his daughters are already well placed in decent government job, and Savitri is scaling newer heights. 
This little girl has already made her village proud, and dreams to study in IIT Kharagpur. 
 
We wish her all the very best in all her endeavours! Way to go, girl!

Two buses and at least 22 people went missing after Mumbai-Goa highway bridge collapsed due to swollen Savitri River in Konkan region. 
 
The two Maharashtra state transport buses were carrying 18 passengers, two drivers and two conductors. 
 Maharashtra Chief Minister <keyword id="6355042" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Devendra-Fadnavis">Devendra Fadnavis</keyword> said he was monitoring the situation. 
 
"There were two parallel bridges; one is a new bridge and one constructed during the British era. The old one collapsed,” he said. 
 
“The primary reason seems to be the high pressure caused due to flooding of river Savitri due to heavy rains in catchment of Mahabaleshwar,” said Fadnavis. 
 
Meanwhile, the state administration rushed to the spot for rescue operations and traffic on the highway has been stopped. 
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Fadnavis today and was briefed about the bridge collapse. 
 
"The PM offered all help in rescue and relief operations," Fadnavis said. 
 
NDRF teams are already activated, he tweeted. 
 
The Coast Guard has deployed a Chetak helicopter to carry out search for people who were swept away from the bridge. 
 
Soon after the incident, Raigad SP Suvez Haque and Collector visited the spot where the bridge once stood. 
 
Darkness had hampered operations, which resumed this morning.
