About the video:

Sudha has fought for the rights, dignity, and inclusion of the Musahar community, ensuring they receive education, shelter, and opportunities for a better future. Her efforts include teaching self-defense, yoga, and sports, and she aims for each family to secure a government job to escape poverty. Her remarkable journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of equality.

About Sudha Varghese:

Sudha Varghese, Founder, Nari Gunjan, from privileged beginnings to championing the downtrodden, Sudha Varghese, or “didi” as she is known to the Musahar community, chose the path less traveled. Working in the hinterlands of Bihar, she is determined to empower women and girls from the most disenfranchised segments of society through her organization, Nari Gunjan. Today, this voice of empowerment echoes across two Prerna schools and 97 alternative education centers that prepare children to join the regular school system, impacting more than 40,000 children since we first set forth on her mission. In 2006, Sudha Varghese was awarded the Padma Shri for her service and work in promoting social justice.
