First week Experience in trbal village in Ranchi 1st oct-7oct 2007

Jharkhand known as Sudan of India, is the state which has been allocated to me for my two months field stay as a part of Curriculum at IRMA. Village "Supa" where i have to witness and have an experiential learning of grass root realities is in Ghumla Dist. Today we are leaving for there. GVT-Gramin Vikas Trust is the NGO which is actively functional in the area for the development of the unprivileged mass here and luckily it is our host organisation. Village as expected , doesnt have any pucca houses and electricity. So i guess it will be really an unforgettable period specially for we so called urbanites. Moreover few Naxal groups are highly active here, but as per GVT they fight only with Police and Politicians. I am expecting an entirely different culture over here as this part of the country i am visiting for the first time. With me is another partipant from IRMA - Suman kumar. More updates i will be putting weekly.
