Describe a female leader you like Model answer 1

Introduction:
 A person who leads or commands a group of people or organization is known as a leader. Here I am going to share about a female leader whom I like.

Who is she?
  Jayaram Jayalalithaa was an Indian politician and actress.  She became the state's youngest chief minister and the first woman to serve a full term serving as chief minister from 24 June 1991 to 12 May 1996 more than fourteen years over six terms. She is also known as “Amma” and “Puratchi Thalaivi”.

Where is she from?
 She was born on 24th February 1948 in Melukote, Pandavapura taluk, Mandya district in Mysore state. She did her education at Sacred Heart Matriculation School in Chennai, she excelled at her studies and was offered a scholarship to pursue higher education. Jayalalitha was a multi talented person as she is fluent in several languages, Tamil, Telugu, Kanada, Hindi, Malayalam and English also she is also trained in classical music, western classical piano, and various forms of classical dance.

What she does for others?
 As a politician Jayalalitha had done so many good things for the public. In 2011 she introduced a scheme called “Thalikku Thangam Thittam”, whereby four grams of gold and cash up to Rs 50,000 was given to buy nuptial chains to the women who were economically-backward. Amma Grinder, Mixie and table fan scheme, low-cost canteen, pharmacies, health insurance, mineral water, free laptops, salt, cement, seeds and vegetable shops. Low-cost canteen is one of the best schemes because she implemented this scheme to help the poor get quality nutritious food at subsidized prices. It is a hit even now and many of the public are being benefitted from this scheme.

Explain why you like her.
  Jayalalitha was the very first woman to enter politics in Tamil Nadu, she had gone through many unfair criticisms but she never fails to do her job in the best way. Not only for me she never fails to be an example for many women till her last breath.

Conclusion
  Overall Dr. J. Jaylalitha had done her great job by shining in both her political and cine field.  Also she has received Filmfare Award-Telugu in 1973 and Filmfare Award South in 1971.
