Both his parents are landless laborers living much below the poverty line. They don’t even have a straw roof hut which is the normal habitat of a musahar family. His family lives in a make shift hut in the fields in the fields they work in, provided by the landlord. Their living conditions are extremely difficult. Raju Kumar is the eldest son in the family, and joined Shoshit Samadhan Kendra, the free English medium school run by the Shoshit Seva Sangh in January 2010. He can look forward to a bright future provided he works hard at his studies and fully utilizes the facilities now available to him.
