"Now the focus will be on imparting education among them. Some amount of education and training will bring back self-confidence to them even at this old age," Pathak said, adding that the widows of Vrindavan are spending their lives in a better manner now.

He said that arrangements have been made to impart education to the widows in three languages, including Hindi, Bengali and English.

Pathak said that he intended to draft a bill and hand it over to Parliament to improve the plight of widows abandoned by their families.

He urged all political parties to support his proposed bill drafted by him.
