Himani Jain is the current Municipal Councillor (MCD) from Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, representing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). She is a dedicated advocate for improving civic amenities, with a focus on waste management, security, and the maintenance of parks and roads. Along with her husband, Abhishek Jain, she runs the Abhishek Janashakti Trust, which has initiated impactful social welfare programs such as a 24x7 ambulance service and the installation of pad vending machines in slum areas.

Himani holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Delhi and a B.Ed., which she used to pursue her passion for teaching underprivileged and differently-abled children. Her experience as a teacher deepened her commitment to social work, ultimately inspiring her transition into politics[2]. As a councillor, Himani has been focused on addressing the diverse needs of her constituency, from improving cleanliness and waste segregation to ensuring civic safety and enhancing infrastructure. She is driven by the goal of creating equitable living conditions across Vasant Vihar and Delhi.

 

It was a challenge, but Himani was more than up to it when she not only campaigned but won her election[3] in a landslide after delivering her baby. Less than 60 days after her C-section, she returned to work, demonstrating her deep commitment to serving the community[4].

Further, Himani and Abhishek have recently launched a new initiative called ‘हमारी बेटी हमारी ज़िम्मेदारी’ (My Daughter, My Responsibility), where they take full responsibility for the education—through school and university—of 10 girls each year. This initiative reflects their ongoing dedication to empowering the next generation and creating a better future for all
