Adruti Laxmibai (born 12 October 1899 – date of death unknown) was an Indian freedom movement activist and politician.
[1] After her husband's death, Laxmibai was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and participated in the Indian freedom movement, in which many of her family members were already involved.
National leaders like Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Rajendra Prasad stayed at Giri's residence during their visits to the Berhampur district.
When India achieved independence, she was serving a sentence at a jail in Cuttack, where many notable freedom fighters were imprisoned during the swaraj movement.
[1][2] A memorial to freedom fighters was inaugurated at the jail site by Honorable Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik on 23 January 2010, but the development appears to have stalled.
In Odisha, she was the president of the Kasturba Memorial Fund's local branch as an adviser for the Government Girls High School Committee and a member of the State Social Welfare Board.
