Versha Verma (born 20 December 1978) is a Lucknow-based social worker and poet who runs a non-profit called "Ek Koshish Aisi Bhi"[1] which she started in 2015.

Her work came to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when she began providing free assistance to families, transporting mortal remains from hospitals to cremation grounds and performing their last rites, all while risking her own life.

She did her schooling from Navyug Kanya Mahavidyalaya, graduated in Arts from Avadh Girls' Degree College, Lucknow and completed her post-graduation in English from Kanpur University.

The incident affected Versha so much that the next day, she rented a van, hired a driver and headed to the same hospital with a placard that read, “Nishulk Shav Vahan” (free vehicle for carrying the dead).

Now, through her non-profit organisation, she provides free hearse cars and ambulance service to needy families throughout the state of Uttar Pradesh.
