According to the geographical structure, Urlabari is accessible even though some of its wards seem like remote villages. Although Urlabari, the second-largest city in Morang, looks like an 'Eden Garden' solely based on the main square, the surrounding villages are still remote. Ward No. 9 starts about 4 km south of the main square of Urlabari Municipality. One can get a general understanding of the location of Ward No. 9 only by walking around the entire ward. Residents of Ward No. 9 are mainly involved in farming.

Some youth have gone abroad, while some are involved in trade, business, and labor. The locals have somehow found a way to make ends meet. There is no question that the bridge between rich and poor is the same as any other ward or municipality in Nepal. However, the development of the village is still in its foundation stage, and there is no distinct difference between the ward and the municipality. Thus, we can safely say that ward no. 9 of Urlabari municipality is backward in terms of development and infrastructure. Sundar Shrestha has been working relentlessly toward the betterment of his ward. He is a very hardworking youth and a social leader at that. 

Born in the Khopidada of the 9th ward, Sundar aspires to reface his birthplace and make it as beautiful as his name. He desires to change the face of his village by completely taking the reins of the post of ward chairman of Urlabari ward no 9 in the upcoming local level election. Sundar, preparing to contest from the CPN-Unified Socialist Party, said that Sundar had prioritized drinking water, education, agriculture, health, and roads.

Urlabari 9 has been an impregnable fortress of the Leftists for as long as people can remember. In the last local elections, the CPN (UML) candidate and their panels won in this ward with the majority of the votes. "You're in the candidacy but how easy will it be to win this UML stronghold?" Sundar said, "Voters are not someone's bonded laborers in response to this question. These people have come to understand that the situation has changed. I am on the election field to win." He also said he wanted to be a people's representative to 'give legitimacy' to public service.

He adds, "It is not enough to just become proficient in swimming; you have to dip in the pool." According to him, being active in social service as a representative of the people would be justified. The discussion of Sundar Shrestha's candidature in Ward 9, which is considered a rivalry between the UML and the Nepali Congress, has been significant.

The strong claim of Sundar, who has become people's favorite through social work, has been hailed as "like chewing a flatbread" by other parties and groups. With the leap from social service to politics, hardly any other people are as famous in Ward No. 9 as Sundar. However, the affiliated party CPN (Unified Socialist) that Sundar is a part of has been saying that it will contest the ruling coalition. It is not clear who will be in charge of ward no 9. 

Mentioning that the ground conditions of Urlabari 9 are different, a local says, "Even in the coalition, there is no sign that the Congress will defeat the UML. As the legacy of social work is also linked, I think it is appropriate to nominate Sundar Shrestha on behalf of the alliance." Despite the social contribution, there is a wave of people who favor Shrestha. He said that Sundar Shrestha would win even if it were an alliance or a single candidacy.

He has been serving his birthplace through social work. He says that the people of his ward are not unaware of how much money he has spent on social work. His support has filled the community with street lights on every road, zinc roofs in schools, sports materials distribution, and roads construction in the area of ​​infrastructure.

Recently, Sundar helped install 20 'Vapor lights' and wires as part of his street light installation campaign in the Pokharibandh area. "Some of the wires and lights are still in short supply." He added, "We should prepare a master plan for infrastructure construction now." He said that he would provide immediate assistance to those in need and help plan things of far-reaching importance.

Some of his last ventures included building a resting place in Bhotepul, and he even arranged for people to rest and read newspapers there. He doesn't know if the readers enjoy a quiet resting place where they can read, but he does enjoy watching at peace from a distance. 

He thinks that creating an environment where citizens feel at ease in every public place, not just a rest house, would be a sign of prosperity. "Everyone's happiness is prosperity, but we must fulfill the overall aspirations of the society. I don't think we have to go anywhere else to seek prosperity; we can create our safe haven here," he suggested.

Like most people from his community, Sundar was born and raised in poverty. He spent his childhood in a thatched hut with a roof of straws over his head. He reminisces, "Our family was in dire straits due to lack of money. We struggled even to fulfill our basic needs. We had to compartmentalize everything, including our ration." But he says the past of misery taught him to struggle. He went to Kathmandu at a very young age to make a name for himself and earn money to support his family. 

He got involved in the contract and housing business in Kathmandu. He could quickly establish himself in this business because of his friendly and frank personality. Today, he is financially independent, and he has houses in Khopidanda of Urlabari 9 and Kathmandu. "If I had wanted to, I would have settled in Europe or the United States," said Sundar. "I don't want to go anywhere else because I love the place I was born, and I want to dedicate my entire life to better my community," he added.

He has a business firm in Salaghari, Bhaktapur. Sundar has been spending some of his income on social services. Sundar, who has made Kathmandu his 'life struggle,' has started fish and poultry farming in the village. He is trying to promote agriculture and animal husbandry commercially. He emphasizes on a person's identity and not only financial independence. He is confident that agriculture will give him a real identity. He says, "I hope I'm able to add something to my identity and legacy after I win this election."
