Tharuhat of West Champaran has been most backward, neglected & ignored area in Bihar. Till the end of even 20th century most of the Tharuhat has not seen the arrival of electricity.

The area has been deprived of other basic facilities also like road, transport , education health etc. The area has been island in itself and people in utter distress.

This has completely changed the age-old life style of the Tharus of West Champaran and brought smiles upon the faces of innocent tribal people.
