SUNIL JAGLAN A MOVEMENT IN HIMSELF

In a small village in Haryana where traditions ran deep and change felt impossible, one man quietly began rewriting the story of daughters. A man of grit, Sunil Jaglan, came with courage, questions, and a heart that refused to accept injustice as ‘normal.’

What began as a village survey opened his eyes to a disturbing truth. It revealed that girls were disappearing long before they were born. That's when he stepped forward, and that step further turned into a movement that travelled from mud roads to the world stage. Today, people know Sunil Jaglan as not just a former sarpanch but as a national changemaker whose ideas have shaped conversations on gender equality across India.

His work as sarpanch

In 2010, Sunil was elected the Sarpanch of Bibipur village. Instead of settling for attending meetings and managing local administration, he decided to make a real impact. Within five years, he launched over 100 schemes focused on empowering women, which put Bibipur into the limelight.

One of his early breakthroughs was the Mahila Gram Sabha, formed in 2012. In a space where women were rarely invited to speak, Sunil created a platform solely for their voices.
