Narmada Akka was one of the senior-most female cadres of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), not to be confused with the communist parties in other states that are currently politically active.

Narmada was one of the public faces of the banned Maoist Communist party, which is marked by the Ministry of Home Affairs as an insurgent group.

She was one of the central members of the party, and she was considered to be responsible for framing policies and guidelines for all the female members of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (or PLGA).

Her leadership saw some of the most deadly attacks in the Naxal territories of Eastern and Central India, with hundreds of armed forces personnel, police, and innocent civilians dying in violent clashes.
