An old woman named Binnibai sitting in front of a hospital selling vegetables, sees patients lying on the ground because there is not enough space and feels sorry for them. She asks the chief doctor if it’s possible to provide better accommodation for them. The doctor tells her that the government can’t build new rooms because of a lack of money. So, Binnibai decides to sell her land and donates ten lakh rupees to help. With her donation, a new ward was built and named 'Binnibai Ward' in her honour.
