Apart from her parliamentary role, she has also been involved in institutional and social initiatives. Notably, she became the first woman president of the Calcutta Muslim Orphanage, highlighting her continued engagement in community development and charitable work.

As of 2026, she continues to serve as a Member of Parliament from Uluberia and remains an active political figure in West Bengal, contributing to both legislative work and grassroots-level development.
