Personal life
Vanita Jagdeo Borade was born on 25 May 1975.[1] She lives with her husband in Buldhana in the Indian state of Maharashtra.[2][3]
Career
Borade learned to be at ease with wildlife as she was brought up on a farm, with friends who shared her interest in the local environment.[4] She began catching venomous snakes at the age of twelve without ever being bitten.[3] She founded the Soyre Vanchare Multipurpose Foundation, an environmental organization focusing on preventing pollution and protecting wildlife.[5] Having rescued more than 50,000 snakes,[2] Borade has been included in Guinness World Records.[4] She is particularly compassionate towards snakes, but also has experience with honeybees.[4]
Borade has taught others how to treat snake bites,[2] and aimed to reduce ophidiophobia (a fear of snakes) by providing realistic information about snakes: only ten percent of snakes in India are venomous, and every hospital has freely available antivenom drugs.[4]
Awards and recognition
India Post recognized Borade's achievements by issuing a stamp with her portrait.[6] On International Women's Day 2022, she received the 2020 Nari Shakti Puraskar, the highest civilian honour for women in India, from President Ram Nath Kovind.[5][7] Locally known as the "snake woman", Borade has been recognized as "India's first woman snake friend".[8][7]
