IN SEARCH OF THE POOR IN BIHAR
Sudha Varghese read in a magazine that the poor in Bihar have no place to live so they make small hut At a tender age of 16, a strong attraction captured my total attention. And this attraction was to see and know the poverty and poor of Bihar which seemed so unique. I was touched by what s on the roadside and live in those huts. It was hard for me to believe this. Wanted to experience this and see if there is anything I can do for them. I had no idea what this unknown world held for me but certainly there was the desire and readiness to commit myself to a good cause. I came to Bihar with the Notre Dame sisters in 1964. After my initial training, learning the languages, and with some preparation to teach in school, I had the chance of working in various districts of Bihar – Dhanbad, Bhojpur, Munger, etc. Big schools and children from rich families did not satisfy my search. Started visiting and learning about the lifestyle of poor particularly Dalits from 1977 in Bhojpur. Worked with poor and Dalit women under TRYSEM, a government program, from 1980 to 1985 in Munger district. I completed my Graduation from Mysore University and Law from Bangalore University.
