The 91-year-old doctor from Varanasi is not only the proposer of Prime Minister Modi’s candidacy but also a successful researcher. Times of India reported that Dr Shukla did her research on the importance of breast-feeding babies between 1969 and 1972.

The research was carried out in the United Kingdom and published in the British Medical Journal. She along with three other researchers studied parameters such as body weight, calorie intake, feeding pattern in infants and their correlation with obesity.
