Mithila Hindu Sangh Foundation

Mithila Hindu Sangh Foundation is based in a village called Haripur, which is part of the Benipur block over in Darbhanga. You can find us at Ram Suresh Jha’s residence. Living and working in a place like Haripur means things move at a much slower pace than they do in the big cities. Almost everyone around here knows each other by their first name. We do not have a big neon sign or a corporate-style office setup. It is really just a simple room where we gather to talk about what is happening in the local community. Darbhanga has its own way of doing things, and we try to respect that. The roads around Benipur can get pretty rough, especially after a heavy rain, but we manage to get around. People often stop by our place after they finish their work in the fields or at the local market. It is a quiet spot for the most part. We keep our records and hold our meetings right here in the house. There is no fancy furniture or air conditioning to speak of. We just use the chairs and tables we have. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a few hours, so we just move our chairs outside and talk under the shade of a tree. It feels more natural that way anyway. Being in a rural part of Bihar, you quickly learn to be practical about everything. We are just local people trying to help out our own neighbors.
