About her work in the field of literature, social welfare and her Socio-cultural Organisation AVITOKO, Vibha says, "I take my characters for my writing from my real life and my surroundings. They all are real ones. I just blend them with the imagination and weave them for my readers. But in one very fine day, I suddenly realised that in spite of taking lives and incidents of my real life characters and creating making my stories meaningful & effective, I am contributing little in their lives. It means, I am also exploiting them. This disturbed me furiously. I started to think seriously that what I can do for their benefit in a concrete manner. So, whenever I see any person in any odd situation, I used to go back in my childhood. When I started to put myself in their shoes, I realised that this is not only their lives but it's mine too. I decided to do some meaningful work for them. Thus AVITOKO came into existence. Today, I have a satisfaction that I am living with the pain & sorrow of my characters and above all, I am a little contributor to bring a smile on their faces. She says that "A writer or a visionary must be an activist. Every one must think about its own, must learn about self respect. No one can bring smile on the face of any one, if he/she does not starve for that." Vibha Rani accepts that "For me, it will be a wonderful moment, when every one will start to understand the feelings of each one of us. In this world, no one is only bad or good. We are responsible to categorize it.
