  "account": "A 60-year-old woman named Bindubai carried her paralysed husband, Dayashankar, on her back to the Burhanpur collectorate in Madhya Pradesh, India, to request a tricycle and disability pension. The video of this act went viral on social media on Saturday night. The couple lives in Mahajan Colony and approached the collectorate for a public grievance hearing. Bindubai presented a certificate confirming her husband's paralysis, which occurred nine years ago, and one of his legs was amputated during treatment. In the video, Bindubai told officials she was told she would receive nothing. However, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav directed immediate assistance for the family after viewing the video. Dayashankar has since received a tricycle, and the family has received support for his daughters' education. Unpaid care at home falls disproportionately on women, according to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation's Time Use Survey 2024. Bindubai's persistence after being told she would receive nothing is a form of leadership that rarely receives attention. SheSparks, YourStory's flagship event celebrating women, will bring together such leaders and changemakers on February 19 and 20.",
