THESE WERE THE KEY FACTS WHICH ARE TAKEN FROM THE WEBSITE OF GOVT. OF BIHAR.
now get the summary which we need-
  1. our area of work is 12344 square kms. ( more than many small nations of world!!).
  2. total population of this area is 6739385.( it must be noted that it is the data of 2001 census and according to 2011 census provisional data, this figure comes above 88 lakhs( i will provide the census 2011 data seperately in my next entry.)
  3. our target group i.e. disabled population will be at least  the 3% of total population ( govt. recognized ). hence, this figure may be 202181  (2001 census) or most latest  2.64 lakhs( 2011 census).    please note that i am talking about the minimum because the world health organization eastimates disabled population around 10% of total population.  
  4. the whole area is severely affecting from socioeconomic problems e.g. poverty, illiteracy, naxal problems, child marriage and many more.  Majority of the population lives in rural areas and is deprived of proper food, nutrition, sanitation and clean water. A lage portion of the population is below poverty line.                            
         Now one more thing, there are almost negligible number of ngos which are specially working for the welfare of disabled population in this entire region. Govt. facilities are also very less and almost centralisesd in urban areas only. so, our members have an exremely complicated and difficult task ahead if we want to do something good to combat disability in this area.
From the above discussion, it should be clear that how mighty our task is!!   But someone have to start from somewhere   and our organization is going to that someone   is spite of all mighty constraints.

i request all our members and supporters to provide their suggestions and thoughts- no matter positive or negative because if we want to acheive success we will have to adopt idealistic as well as realistic approach.
