There is a measly 5.6% chance of a woman living till 100. To live beyond that, almost unheard of. Bimro Devi proved that it can be on the cards. 102. Born and brought up in Himachal Pradesh, she had a fruitful life there. After her marriage, she shifted to Punjab with her husband. Unfortunately, her husband passed away in 1972, from a paralysis attack. She has been living for the past 48 years alone. They had 4 children, one daughter and 3 sons. Unfortunately, the daughter passed away due to some chronic illness.

Two of her sons live with their wives and children separately leaving behind her mother alone. When asked about their contribution to helping their mother, Bimro Devi got visibly upset and told us that they didn’t help in any way in shape or form as they say that it isn’t their duty.

 She was deeply disturbed by their actions towards her and wished not to reunite with them One of her sons, Naresh, 61, lives with her and takes care of her. He works as a sewage cleaner commonly known as “Jamadar” and has taken on full responsibility for his mother. He was married but is now separated. His wife and in-laws have been trying to force him to give all his savings and income to her and to just to leave the mother on her own. Having compassion and love for his mother, he refused and is currently living with his mother in a single room. His wife and in-laws are still hounding him for his money. Naresh knows that his mother is old, with no source of income or help. He refuses to abandon her as his brothers did.
Bimro Devi has very poor vision and even worse hearing capabilities. She cannot walk more than 5 steps without her body giving up. Naresh is the single source of income in the family, of which a significant percentage goes towards medical bills. The rest is used for upkeep and other uses.
