Answer 1

Answer:

A. Seva Sadan for Women's Welfare

Ramabai Ranade, a social activist and reformer, is remembered for starting the Seva Sadan for Women's Welfare in Pune in 1909. Malbari and Dayaram Gidumal came up with the idea of founding home for women and training Indian women to be nurses. They then turned to Ramabai, for her guidance and help for starting a Society and thus Seva Sadan (Bombay) came into being. In 1909, the Pune Seva Sadan was started and later in 1915 it was registered.
