Even as an MLA, she pursued her studies as a law student. Smt. Patil started her professional career as a practicing lawyer at the Jalgaon District Court and simultaneously devoted herself to various social activities, especially, for the upliftment of poor women on July 17th 1965 she got married to Shri Devi Singh Shekhawat.

At the young age of 27 years, she successfully contested her first election to the Maharashtra State Legislature from the Jalgaon Assembly constituency. Subsequently she was continuously elected four times as MLA from the Edlabad (Muktai Nagar) constituency till 1985. Thereafter, she served as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha from 1985 to 1990 and later elected as a Member of Parliament to the 10th Lok Sabha in the 1991 General Elections from the Amravati constituency. She enjoys the unique distinction of not having lost a single election that she contested till date. She held positions as governor and the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.

At the age of 83 years today, when she has retired from active politics, she selflessly and zealously is working for the upliftment of poor and weak. She tirelessly is championing the cause of women empowerment.
Her sole aim is to provide education to all and raise the status of Indian women in the society. Her life is an inspirational journey. A journey of a woman who came from a conservative background, balanced beautifully the role of a career woman with that of a mother and wife, carved a niche for herself in the history of India by becoming the first citizen of India and yet so humble, graceful and simple.

She is very sensitive to the issues of women empowerment and firmly believes "Education of women will ensure women empowerment."

We salute her dignity and simplicity and would endeavor to imbibe her values to become better citizens and better human beings.
