Kalibai Bhil was the resident of Rastapal, district Dongarpur. She was a 13 year old Bheel girl who studied at a school (established and run by Durgarpur Sewak Sangh) at Rastapal in Dungarpur district. The ruler of Dungarpur wanted to close the schools run by this Sangh due to the pressure of the British. He sent the state police to this school at Rastapal, but teacher Nanabhai Khant refused to close the school. Due to the police cruelty, Nanabhai Khant died. After his death another teacher Sainghbhai Bheel continued to teach. At this, police dragged him and tied him with the truck. Kalibai could not see it. She cut the rope from the truck and freed her teacher from the grip of police which resulted in anger and provocation of police. As soon as Kalibai bowed down to pick her teacher up, the police fired on Kalibai and she died on the spot.

In remembrance of the day of her sacrifice a fair is held every year and people pay their homage by offering flowers.
