Daughter of Rajaram Chaubey and Basanti Devi Chaubey, she was born at Moradabad and later moved with her mother and father to Varanasi, where her grandfather was invited to teach Persian in the newly formed Banaras Hindu University. Although they were rich landlords her grandfather chose to teach and sold off their estate and relocated to Banaras (present day Varanasi). Her father died young. He was on his way to the United States where he was invited to teach but died en route at New Delhi. She was brought up and educated by her mother alone. She was a meritorious student and received Chancellors medal for coming first in her class. While in her student days she became good friends with Jaipur royalty.
She was married to Major Dr. Vidya Sagar Trivedi (RAMC) who had just returned after completing his studies at Edinburgh University (Scotland). He was a scion of Trivedi Saraswats and held a Zamindari in Moradabad District of U.P.
She was supported in life by her brothers, one of whom Awadh Narayan Lal, a Professor of Chemistry, remained a bachelor and with his guidance saw all her children become Class-I Officers and leading experts in their own chosen fields. Her youngest son presently is a Secretary to Government.
