She has been associated with many social and cultural bodies in various capacities. She was President of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan,Haryana for four years.

The Indian Army's loss is BJP's gain. If Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, had her way, she would have joined the army. That's what her twitter followers discovered when she posted a picture of herself as a member of the National Cadet Corps (NCC).

Swaraj was an active cadet while at S.D. College in Ambala. She would have loved to join the army but could not, as at that time it was not open to women. Probably now it is a "little late", as she says. Ah, but she does use her words as weapons.
