Who among the following was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan in 1956 for social work ?

  • A.Kaali Bai
  • B.Anjana Devi Chaudhary
  • C.Ratan Shastri
  • D.Janki Devi Bajaj

Answer: D

The 1956 Padma Vibhushan for social work went to Janki Devi Bajaj.

Janki Devi Bajaj, wife of Jamnalal Bajaj, worked in the freedom movement and in Gandhian constructive work, and later in the Bhoodan movement. She was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 1956.

The others are Rajasthan figures from other contexts. Kaali Bai was the young Bhil girl killed at Rastapal in Dungarpur in 1947 while defending her teacher. Anjana Devi Chaudhary was a woman leader of the Bijolia peasant movement. Ratan Shastri co-founded Vanasthali Vidyapith; she is not the 1956 Padma Vibhushan the question asks about.
