Introduction

The first community of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation in the North of India is in a remote village called Dhulkot which belongs to Khandwa diocese. It was established in 1984. Since then it had been in the plan that we will start another community to support one another. It coincided with the thought of then Bishop Abraham Virutukulangara, Bishop of Khandwa. In 1989 Bishop invited us to staff St.Jude`s English Medium School, Khargone. At that time the school had up to 3rd standard. Thus Sathyodaya community established on 2nd of July, 1989. We began our mission not only educating the young, but also visiting the families.
