Kamble is from [[Mhasvad]], [[Maharashtra]], an area which has been affected by droughts. [[Goat]]s are of major economic importance here, and a lack of trained veterinarians made it difficult to get appropriate and timely care if they became ill. She trained in the "Para-Vet Goat Programme" from the Mann Deshi Foundation<ref name="mann">{{cite web |title=Empowering Women Entrpreneurs and their Communities |url=http://manndeshifoundation.org/ |publisher=Mann Deshi Foundation |accessdate=17 March 2019}}</ref> to become the first goat veterinarian in the area, and went on to lead a team of seven "barefoot veterinarians". She introduced an [[artificial insemination]] service to improve the breeding of goats for both milk and meat, and has trained 350 women in the technique. Goats are seen as an "alternative and sustainable livelihood option for women-headed households in the area", and her work was recognised in 2017 by the "Women Transforming India" award.<ref name=newk /><br />

Kamble is from the [[dalit]] or untouchable group, but her achievements have brought together members of different castes in her village: "When I entered the village, I saw a big cutout of Sunita. Sunita was smiling on that picture. ... upper caste leaders -- men -- were sitting in the house, in her house...".<ref name="sinha">{{cite web |last1=Sinha |first1=Chetna Gala |title=How women in rural India turned courage into capital: TED2018 |url=https://www.ted.com/talks/chetna_gala_sinha_how_women_in_rural_india_turned_courage_into_capital/transcript?language=en#t-9244 |website= |publisher=TED |accessdate=17 March 2019}}</ref><br />
