Meet 31-year-old Srishti Bakshi who has just completed a huge feat by covering a distance of 3,800 kms in 230 days on foot.

Srinagar, May 8: It's a one-woman mission from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, highlighting the issue of women safety and empowerment.

Meet 31-year-old Srishti Bakshi who has just completed a huge feat by covering a distance of 3,800 kms in 230 days on foot. Bakshi started her arduous journey from Kanyakumari last year. It has culminated in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir recently. She is definitely a role model, who by her daredevil act, has inspired millions of women across the country.

To honour the brave and compassionate Hong Kong-based social entrepreneur, who is passionate about issues related to women, an event was hosted in Srinagar recently. Talking to ANI, Bakshi said, "The motive was to promote women safety and we talked to people about this but we still have a lot to do."

"J&K: Shrishti Bakshi completed a journey of 3,800 kms from Kanyakumari to Kashmir in 230 days, says, 'Motive was to promote women's safety, we talked to people about this but we still have a lot to do.' She was felicitated on completion of her journey in Srinagar, last week," tweeted ANI.

Bakshi started her foot march under the banner, CrossBow movement, as a part of which she met men and women belonging to various walks of life in 12 states in the country during her journey.

"This is not just an awareness builder. Everyone knows about growing violence against women. But there's only too much noise and no action. CrossBow is an action-oriented initiative, where we interact with diverse audiences on multiple problems concerning women," she told The Hindu in an earlier interview.

"I believe technology can be a sustainable and long-term solution for a lot of issues that women face," she added.

Her initiative and achievement have not gone unnoticed, and Bakshi is currently receiving congratulatory messages from various admirers. Here we post a few of them:

She is none other than the daughter of Lt Gen Ashwini Bakshi (Retd), former GOC 11 Corps and Colonel of the Bihar Regiment. https://t.co/9EdUyFyGJ1
