Her father-in-law encouraged her to study further and so she completed her masters in Hindi after having two children. Always keen to do something new , she opened a home science institute for women in Kanpur in the 1960s on the model of Lady Irwin college in New Delhi. Espousing the cause of women empowerment, this institute made a lot of women self-reliant.
