BB meet at Hotel Centro in Seoul, Korea

(Bibhuti (left) and Dr. Kartik (Rght) at

Hotel Centro, Seoul.

Main excerpts of the meeting

1. BiharBrains should work for helping

young talents of Bihar and encourage

them to go abroad for higher study

and for employment. Overseas

talents should be advertised and

propagated through this forum. Dr.

those who want to pursue their career

and providing scholarships to the needy ones based on merit.

This can have two dimensions:

1. Helping those who do not have access even to the basic primary education, or

2. Supporting the highly motivated ones

financially so that they can achieve their

desired goals.

It was suggested that we can achieve the

above two goals by having a trust that is

maintained by the NGO. Though he was

critical of the fact that this NGO/Trust to

be funded by members or generous

donors. Dr. Kartik proposed a unique and

effective way to have a parallel Private

Limited Company which would be a profit

making organization (Refer below to the

proposed services of the company). All the

profit of the company would thereby go to

the NGO making their combined efforts a self-financed and self-sufficient one.

The Services proposed by the company can be:

1. Consulting Services - Help aspiring

students for higher education getting

admissions and scholarships in the foreign

universities. In lieu of the services

rendered, the Private Profit making

organization would charge them financially.

Dr. Kartik was kind enough to suggest

that he, with his academic and business clout, to ensure the same.

2. Distant Education Services - These

services can be provided by the educated

members of Bihar brains via the website,

Biharbrains.com. The revenue thus

generated would then be diverted to the

NGO.

3. Advertisements - Revenue can be

generated from the advertisements appearing on the website Biharbrains.com.

b. Searching out Efficient Biharis

Attempts would be made by existing

members to bring like-minded motivated

Biharis under the flagship Biharbrains. It

was suggested that, to start with, for now

we could have core teams for all the

prominent cities in the country. As the

membership grows, we can even think of

expanding further to all the districts of Bihar.

c. Web site contents

This can start with having the member list,

the services, mission, and goals of

Biharbrains. It was suggested to have an

open balance sheet on the site, which

shall provide details of all the revenue generated and expenses.

d. Discussion on become self

employer and give employment for

many in Bihar."

Dr. Kartik suggested that the Profit

making Organization could provide loans

to the motivated Biharis, who are not risk averse, on easy terms and conditions.

e. Discussion on the proposal of

Aryabhatt chair for R&D at Patna

The attendees welcomed the idea but had

a slight reservation about the Name of the

Chair being Aryabhatt. It was suggested

that the Chair should be named after

noted and distinguished scientists or

scholars hailing from Bihar. Dr, Kartik

suggested name of Vashisht Narayan

Singh, prominent mathematician and scientist.

f. How to make contacts and build

good relation with consultants,

companies in India and abroad to

increase employment opportunities

It was suggested that the members of

group are capable enough of realizing the

cause should come forward and help those having aspirations of Biharis.

from the attendees, and to instill a sense

BB First Bangalore Meet: Dec 6, 2008

First BB UAE Meet: Dec 16, 2004

7

Souvenir, 2008

of transparency, an opinion survey was

conducted that could be completed within

10 minutes. Those present also filled a

form to provide detailed information about

them that would ultimately be part of a

future database (already uploaded to the

yahoogroups – partly – in the database

section). The decisions and opinions that

emerged from the survey and the

discussions are summarized below:

1. The Bihari NRIs residing in UAE

congratulate Mr. Bibhuti and all those

who have made the biharbrains

happen, and resolve to extend their

fullest support in making the dream of

a technologically developed Bihar

come true as soon as possible.

2. The UAE team resolved that in order to

function without violating the local

rules and regulations, it should try to

affiliate with the Indian Association in

Dubai or in any other emirate.

3. In order to achieve the goals and

objectives of biharbrains, and fulfill

local aspirations of the UAE residents,

a separate fund should be established.

4. For the resolution in item-4 to succeed,

a joint account shall be maintained in

UAE. Modalities for the same shall be

finalized in subsequent meetings.

5. Depending upon the local aspirations

of UAE residents, as and when a

consensus on the same emerges in the

form of goals and objectives and if

they happen to be different from those

of biharbrains, affiliations may also be

sought with other organizations in

India that are expected to fulfill

additional aspirations, if any.

6. However, the UAE residents resolved

that there is no need to form any

forum separate from Biharbrains,

unless otherwise mandatory due to

local legal considerations.

7. The UAE residents resolved that the

biharbrains NGO should be established

at Patna, and not at Delhi or any other

place.

8. The above NGO should have an

executive committee elected every

year by the biharbrains members, if

there are no legal constraints.

9. The monthly contribution to the

biharbrains fund should be Dhs 50

(fifty) per month by all those who

choose to be members of the group.

10. The biharbrains executive committee

in UAE must meet at least every

month.

11. The local chapter shall have no formal

structure but shall have just an

executive committee for carrying

further the cause of the biharbrains as

well as the local aspirations of UAE

residents.

12. The decision-making for all matters

concerning biharbrains should be

vested in an executive committee

constituted of 5 (five) members.

13. Attendees were asked to suggest

names for the above executive

committee, but a majority of those

present and voting felt it really difficult

to do so because they felt more time

was needed to interact and exchange

views with each other in order to be

able to choose the best persons for

this job.

14. It was suggested by some members

that biharbrains should strive towards

helping the 2nd and 3rd level students

instead of the top level students

because the top-rankers are able to

make their own way easily. No voting

could be taken on this aspect. But, the

inspiration that rewarding a top-ranker

conveys to the student community was

well recognized, as was the

importance of career guidance for all

the students.

15. It was suggested that NRIs visiting

India should coordinate with the local

chapter to conduct training camps for

the budding students, for taking the

suggestion in item-14 further.

16. Suggestions were made to invest in

vocational training centres, and in

institutions similar to ITIs, to help the

unemployed youth who are unable to

carry their education further. At the

same time, suggestion was also

forwarded to help reduce drop-outs at

the matriculation (Xth) level.

Souvenir, 2008

17. The proposal for providing consultancy

for education and employment was

very well supported.

18. Members generally supported (at least

did not object to) the biharbrains

proposal, e.g., awarding of scholarship

to Shubham Prakhar, launching of

Aryabhatt centre for R&D at Patna,

technical group building at Patna for

Projects, launching of Projects

competition, etc.

19. Everybody agreed on the need to help

each other in getting better and better

employment through concerted efforts

with a professional approach.

20. Attendees resolved to become

members of the virtual group

(yahoogroup), as well as the real

group, and spread the message further.

21. Strictly local matters would be

discussed in the yahoogroup, called

“biharuae”.

22. Next meeting would be organized

within a month, preferably in Abu

Dhabi, after discussions within the

group on its modalities and the agenda.

The main session concluded with the

closing notes from Mr. Salman Ahmad, the

senior most Bihari present in the meeting

in terms of presence in UAE and also in

terms of experience in social service. He

provided the participants with lots of

inspiration to work together and pursue

the cause of technological development

wholeheartedly. He cited benefits from the

group efforts and exhorted everybody to

join hands together to help the society

reach its well-deserved top slot, soon. He

congratulated everybody on the launch of

biharbrains, and thanked all those

involved. He thanked the attendees and

the organizers for making this meeting

happen, and urged to keep the tempo

high.

The organizers have requested Mr.

Salman to forward the full text of his

speech to the group so that full benefits

can be availed from it.

Souvenir, 2008

In India, various courses of science and

technologies has been started by the

central government, state government

and the private institution but the

percentage rate of getting employment

after such courses is not satisfactory. This

is because of not only the poor

infrastructure but also lack of skillful

teachers. He also emphasized that the

teacher should be assessed by the

institute management and student of

institution. He said except IITs/IISC and

few other institutions, no other institution

of India is fit for the practical based

training and paying attentions to Research

and development. Govt should pay much

attention to that. Many committees has

been formed in post independence era for

improving quality of education and

improving R&D in India but none of the

committee has become operational in true

sense.

He said that students of Bihar should

improve in:-

1. Communication and writing skill in

English.

2. Mathematical & reasoning ability.

3. Knowledge of computer and IT 4. Managerial aptitude

He thanked BiharBrains to come up the

excellent idea filling the gap between non

skilled academicians and skilled corporate

by providing knowledge of cutting edge

technologies and giving proper guidance

to youngsters to excel their career all over

the world.

editor Hindustan times in a well versed

manner said the audience that BiharBrains
