She started her career as an anchor in All India Radio and later, joined the Stree magazine in 1964. From being an assistant to an editor to an activist-cum-journalist she progressed in her journey just the way her thoughts caught up across India.
Bal was also a founder of Miloon Saarya Jani and the Naari Samata Manch. Through both the platforms, she was trying to improve the conditions of women in the most rural corners of Maharashtra. She travelled across the state, educating women about their rights and how they should fight for themselves.
Her last rites were performed at Vaikunth crematorium, where a number of activists, media persons and political dignitaries attended the ceremony.
