Before joining NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), Hinge had held several key posts in another political party, including district women’s wing secretary and district president. She quit the party following disagreements during municipal elections and later joined the Ajit Pawar-led faction, where she was appointed State Vice-President of the women’s wing.
Known for her strong presence in social and political spheres, Hinge had mentored several women activists in the region. She also headed Aadhar Vishva Foundation, through which she actively engaged in social work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she organised the distribution of cooked meals to patients and personally assisted in performing last rites for victims whose families were unable to do so.
Her death has sparked widespread grief across Gadchiroli, where she was regarded as a prominent and compassionate public figure.
