Dedicating the book to her parents Jethabhai Patel and Menaben Patel and elder sister Saritaben Patel, the first woman Chief Minister of the state said a true public servant should have the spirit of helping everybody with utmost ease.
"Every person has at least one such incident in the life which he cannot forget. If one is committed to help or dedicate the life then only he can realise the ideals of public service," Patel said.

Mehta said on this occasion that Patel possessed the values of a committed teacher, an able ruler and a sentimental social leader. As a Chief Minister she has the ability to take decisions quickly, and had credibility and unimaginable confidence, he said.
