Having had an extremely pious mother, Mrs Gnani too has a strongly rooted belief system. This led her to be involved with the Hindu Centre where she performed many duties. The experience of starting the school library at May Primary School came in handy in her work to organise the precious religious books that were donated to the Hindu Centre. She also taught religious classes at the Centre. 

When Mrs Gnani decided to help some of the most destitute children of the society, she began visiting the Institute of Mental Health once a month. She would make agar-agar every time she visited the children and gave it specially to each child. Sometimes, she also brought them toys and bought materials to stitch clothes for them. After retirement, she also began to render her services to the Sai Baba Centre. This is where she met more children and youth who were mentally affected. It broke her heart to see such youngsters suffering in silence. She prays and hopes for greater attention and support to address the needs of children like them.
