Mrs. Jasdanwalla worked with Mr. Sapru at John Wyeth & Brother as the Family Planning Officer. When he started CPAA, he felt that she would be a valuable asset and asked her to join as Honorary Secretary. She organised the first ‘fund raising programme’ at CPAA with a concert by the noted singer Begum Akhtar. This was followed by several film premier shows in aid of CPAA. Early on she realised the importance of engaging celebrities as ambassadors for our cause. With her grit and determination she opened many doors for CPAA when none had hope.
