Narayani Devi Verma (? – 12 March 1977) was a freedom fighter from Rajasthan in the Indian independence movement. She was the wife of fellow freedom fighter Manikya Lal Verma and together they fought with colonial, imperialist as well as feudal oppression in the erstwhile princely state of Mewar. She had played a key role in the Bijolia movement and also took many steps to promote women’s education. While she was very active in the Praja Mandal Movement, her commitment to Gandhian ideals resulted in her active efforts towards tribal welfare and Dalit upliftment.[1] Even after independence, she remained active in both politics and social service. She was a Rajya Sabha member from 1970 to 1976. She died on 12 March 1977.[2]
