Congratulations everyone for the new government in Bihar

Congratulations everyone for the new government in Bihar. Definitely, Mr. Nitish Kumar is the best available option and one of the best CM.

As I mentioned from time to time I am working on a book, ‘Revive Bihar’. I have been meeting people from different background and collecting views on developing Bihar. I would like to quote couple of instances about his governance.

One of my uncles, works in state government. Once he visited me and I asked him about CM’s work. He said that he expects monthly reports from each department and keeps track of them proactively. That is an excellent example of his governance!

I met a director in a state government organization. He said that Nitish is different. He openly tells “Beware! If you are involved in any kind of corruption then be prepared for the consequences. Don’t expect any help from me.” That reflects his commitment against corruption.

I met a marketing head of a car show room in Patna and asked him what he feels about this government. He said we are able to do business without any threat from criminals or any one. There was a time when he used to get phone calls in midnight with threatening like “Mother F***ER” why you did not give car to my men. He was so pissed off, he just moved out of Bihar. When Mr. Kumar came in power and delivered on his promise to control law and order, the manager came back to Patna.

There are dozens of such instances I know and I am sure even you have hundreds of such stories to tell.

People of Bihar voted Mr. Kumar in spite of the allegations of 11412 Crore scam. Whenever I read about any of such scams, I feel cheated and get angry. Why not? We work hard, compete, earn and pay significant amount of our income as income tax. And our money is looted by these criminals in white disguise.

Then I must say that Bihar is already on the path of revival, a big round of applaud of Mr. Kumar. I personally feel he is a great leader but he is like a lotus in mud. He is surrounded mostly by persons who are incompetent, opportunist and mainly focus on corruption. On the path of money making they go to any extent which continues to hurt Bihar and India on the whole. So handling this cancerous people is a big task for Mr. Kumar. Let me tell you few related stories.

With vision to form an Infosys in Patna, my few enthusiastic and successful friends in different corner of world worked on a Project Plan to start a company for Software Development and Information Technology Enabled Services with ambitions to start with few hundred professional and recruit 5000 professional in next few years. To help them I personally visited the Biscomaun Bhawan in Patna which is declared as IT Park by the state government of Bihar. Not to my surprise, it was stinking and full with garbage and filth like any other office premises there. I contacted state government officials to discuss the IT policy posted at the state government website (http://gov.bih.nic.in). The policy prominently proclaimed about formation of single window to help entrepreneurs and other benefits and subsidies. I was told that the policy is still in draft version. I visited SIDBI office for funding and I was told that I should contact Kolkata office.

Government need to deliver on the promises of the formation of single window for entrepreneurs and establish entrepreneur friendly infrastructure.

One of my friends successfully established an educational institution in Bihar but this was not easy. When he contacted state government for allocation of land he was quoted fours time of the existing market prices.

Such harassment must be stopped. Entrepreneurs plays significant role in development of any state and nation. No one in any government should treat them as sacrifice goat or money making machine.

I am sure that the record breaking mandate by people of Bihar will arm him with sufficient weapons and confidence to tackle corrupt ones.

Please feel free to post your views and stories and continue to invite people to join BRF!

God bless Bihar!

Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted


Dear friends,

Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted.

www.hindustantimes.com/Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted/Article1-601536.aspx

Gandak flood September 2010

Surprisingly media is not giving much importance to it.
Where is media?

BRF has deeps concerns that it may happen again.

Adbhut Canal

A good news is that International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's concessionary lending arm, has approved a $220 million credit to support rebuilding efforts in areas affected by the 2008 Kosi floods in Bihar.

Independence Day, BRF Status, Future Plan

Dear friends,

Heartiest greetings on the auspicious occasion of our beloved country India celebrating her 64th independence day! God bless India!

At BRF we are committed to achieve the Common Dream “A Prosperous Bihar” which will eventually make India stronger! To achieve the mammoth dreams, significant contribution is required by each and every individual.

I would like to bring to your kind notice, the initiatives taken by BRF in Past one year.

***************
*****Canal*****
***************
We worked on the initial proposal “Adbhut Samridhi Canal” to provide solution for floods and generation of abundant electricity which will in turn trigger agricultural and industrial revolution.

Avinash took this proposal to few leaders having strong influence in current state government. The proposal was used as another tool for propaganda by them and that too without consulting us. Not to our surprise, one of the leaders was sent to Rajyasabha as a reward. The result was that Avinash felt backstabbed and lost faith in the government.

You can read at more at:

****Connect****

We started to connect with well wishers of Bihar through online social networking sites and blogs like Facebook, LinkedInd, Orkut and Blogspot. And here we are, growing and becoming stronger with you! And we thank you all for your consistent support, reciprocal love and invaluable inputs, ideas, solutions, thought and suggestions.

I visited SIDBI office for funding and I was told that I should contact Kolkata office. We decided to put the project on hold for sometime.

***************
****The Book***
***************
We are working on a book “Revive Bihar” which will try to portrait the basic problems of Bihar and the revival strategy. We plan to shortlist from the messages posted at BRF and include them in the book.

***************
***Future Plan***
***************
1. Together you and we must keep promoting the proposal “Adbhut Samridhi Canal” till it becomes a reality and which will cause agricultural and industrial revolution!

2. Post your ideas and please invite your friends to visit BRF blog and join BRF on Facebook. To achieve the big dream, everyone’s participation is very much required. Once we have significant in number we can identify volunteers and formally register BRF as an NGO.

3. For the Software startup project, connect with industry specialist and investors. Please contact us if you are interested in this project.

4. Create a group on LinkedIn and Facebook to connect with software professionals interested in relocating to Patna. If we could attract significant number of professionals, this may attract big software companies to Patna.

5. Complete the book “Revive Bihar” and get it published.

I look forward for your extended cooperation!

Once again I thank you all and wish you Happy Independence Day!

Bihar Govt and IP/Copy right violations

Outlook in its latest edition came out with a sensational story of how the Bihar chief minister himself indulged in plagiarism and how the entire research paper of scholar of Jawaharlal Nehru University, Atul Kumar Singh, was printed as a book ‘Special Category Status: A case for Bihar’. The invitation card openly mentioned the expression “authored by Nitish Kumar.”



Ref: Bihar chief minister indulged in plagiarism

Isn't it strange that all 81 pages of Singh’s report appear as the 79-page book by Nitish Kumar?


It seems like the government is desperate for cheap publicity and that too by illegally violating the copyrights and intellectual property rights.


This was never expected from this govt. and isn't it a shame?


Please read further!


***********************************************************************

We have been working on a canal proposal since the Koshi calamity days.

While collecting relief funds for the cause, this idea was originated in our mind.

We spent our weekends and nights to convert our idea into a proposal.

We published the first version in March, 2009 at links below and started to promote it.

koshi

Nepal Border Canal

Bihar Revival Forum Blog

Bihar Revival Forum on LinkedIn

Bihar Revival Fourm on ORKUT

Also now BRF is at Facebok too!

Since then we are getting enormous support and response from the well wishers of Bihar and we are getting strengthened day by day.


Also, Avinashji had handed over the proposal personally to a prominent leader who is now elected for Rajyasabha recently from JDU.


Then one day we saw the Canal proposal from the state govt. which prominently and exclusively covered by the hindustan newspaper!


Bihar Govt Canal Proposal



Bihar Revival Forum Canal Proposal

We were surprised to see because we were never contacted and all the credit was given to the state govt.


They did it again!


The estimated cost of the DPR for the project is Rs 600 crores and the cost of project is 60,000 crores. The proposal for DPR has been sent to central GOVT. We afraid, the DPR itself is going to take few decades if we do not get awakened and follow up.


Can you believe that for the cost of DPR with true will and passion, the canal itself can be excavated?


Please have a look at the fact and figures below:


As per the Govt of Bihar the cost of Excavation of a 1 hectare * 2 m is Rs 1.5 lakh.

(Ref. Page 11/12, Table 9, http://ahd.bih.nic.in/Documents/ICAR-Report-Fisheries-Dev-Bihar.pdf)


Suppose our canal area is 400 km x 1 km

i.e. 400000 m x 1000 m = 40000 hectare

40000 x 1.5 lakh = 600 crore.


So canal itself can be excavated for that amount.


Of course there will be other cost like for land acquisition, power plants, infrastructure etc. We are not the expert but what we mean to say is that with a strong will this can be achieved at much lower cost.


Instead of forwarding the proposal to central govt., the state govt. could have taken some concrete step. But as usual, either they don’t have will, vision or competency or they just continue to fool us.


Where there is a will there is a way!


From where the Rs 600 crores will come?

NREGA scheme (http://nrega.nic.in/netnrega/home.aspx) can be used to employ the manpower required for excavation. This can employ thousands/lakhs of people right away.


And ss mentioned earlier the canal can store all the water in case of breach similar to Koshi breach for two days.

How?


Please have a look at the figures below:

Measurements Water Discharge through Koshi Breach : 1,29,800 cusec (Ref. Page 2, http://disastermgmt.bih.nic.in/Bulletin2008/dailyfloodreport/flood_23082008.pdf)

1 Cusec : .02832 cubic meter per second

No. of Seconds in a day (24*60*60) : 86400

Water discharged per day : 317606400 cubic meter

1 cubic meter : 1000 liter

1 hectare : 10,000 square meters

Width of Nepal border (356 km approx) 356000 m and if the canal is 400 KM long then 400000 * 1000 * 2 cubic m can store 80,00,00,000 cubic m of water and can store all the water flowing at 1,29,800 cusec for more than 2 days. Using the excavated soil the depth of the canal can be increased further which can store more water. Excavated soil can also be used to construct hydroelectric power generation units. Thus the canal will control floods and produce electricity and trigger agricultural and Industrial revolution.


But you might know the state govt. has been braggarts so far rather than a achiever on the front of fulfilling our dreams.


So let’s unite together and raise our voice for the CANAL, ASAP!

Canal Proposal

Dear friends,

We have been working on this canal proposal since the Koshi calamity days. While collecting relief funds for the cause, this idea slowly came up. We worked on this proposal and published on our website.
http://temp.astroavinashcom.officelive.com/koshi.aspx
http://temp.astroavinashcom.officelive.com/nepalbordercanal.aspx

Since then we are getting enormous support and response from the well wishers of Bihar and we are getting strengthened day by day. Few months back a similar canal was proposed by the Govt. of Bihar which was covered in Dainik Hindustan and here it is for your reference. The estimated cost of the DPR for the project is Rs 600 crores and the cost of project is 60,000 crores.

The proposal for DPR has been sent to central GOVT. We afraid, the DPR itself is going to take few decades if we do not get awakened and follow up.

Can you guess that for the cost of DPR, the canal itself can be excavated? Please have a look at the fact and figures below:

Suppose our canal area is 400 km x 1 km
i.e. 400000 m x 1000 m = 40000 hectare
40000 x 1.5 lakh = 600 crore.

So canal itself can be excavated for that amount.
Of course there will be other cost like for land acquisition, power plants, infrastructure etc. But with a strong will this can be achieved at much lower cost.

From where the Rs 600 crores will come?

The excavation phase itself can employee thousands of people. NREGA (http://nrega.nic.in/netnrega/home.aspx) scheme can be used for the purpose.

The canal can store all the water in case of breach similar to Koshi breach for two days. How?

Please have a look at the figures below:

Measurements Water Discharge through Koshi Breach : 1,29,800 cusec (Ref. Page 2, http://disastermgmt.bih.nic.in/Bulletin2008/dailyfloodreport/flood_23082008.pdf )

Motivation: Bihar, Germany, Japan, Netherland, China and Mountain Man

Dear friends,

Greetings to all of you and thank yo for your encouraging support!

In 2001, I was traveling with my family including my 90 years old grand mother from Patna to Deoghar by train. We were having confirmed berths. Even we did not get berth, not even for the grand mother. On protest, my brother and I were beaten by a group of people. But even that incident could not break my heart and hope thinking If we won’t act, some one from that mob will become our leader. Bihar will never recover. Usually talented people have good education followed by great job and herd of incompetent people from leftover, rules. This has been happening. We have not get a leader so far with a true vision, passion and action plan for our dream Bihar. A Bihar where in every village there will be non-stop electricity, fast internet, abundance of employment opportunities, quality hospital, school, public transports, roads and other amenities and infrastructure. Health, wealth and harmony for each and every idividual!

If we look six-seven decades back, the condition of Bihar was similar or even better than Germany/Japan(during world war II). After such extreme destruction, generations of Germans/Japanese act together to gift today's Germany/Japan to the generations of today.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_of_Germany
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Japan#Post-Occupation_Japan

Now where we are in front of them?

This canal is a real hope! We need to act together to gift a dream Bihar and dream India to the next generation. Please have a look at below links. If germans, japanese, ducth, mountain man can do it why can't we?

Our top priority at this point is to network with electrical/civil engineers with expertize in Canal/Dam/Hydroelecticity projects who can volunteer to help us to prepare a detailed proposal. Please come up and help us to find them! Please sent this message to all your network and request them to join BRF @

Delta Works, Netherlands
Over one third of The Netherlands is below sea level. The Netherlands boasts the most sophisticated flood defenses in the world. The Delta Works are a number of constructions that were built between 1950 and 1997 in the southwest of the Netherlands to protect a large area of land from the sea. The works consist of dams, sluices, locks, dikes, and storm surge barriers.
These defences combine 19 miles of dam, completed in 1932, with an immense dike which is just over 90 metres thick. Amidst all this construction is the Eastern Schelde Barrier, two miles of gates hung between huge concrete piers, able to lower forming a wall when storm-waters approach. A testament to both the ingenuity and engineering might of the Dutch.

Bihar Revival Forum

Introduction
Bihar Revival Forum is a small initiative towards achievement of the big dream. The forum is open for each and every well wisher of Bihar. The objective of the forum is to connect like minded people, register an NGO and ACT together towards the fulfillment of our own common dream “A Prosperous Bihar”.

We would like to invite you @ Bihar Revival Forum on Facebook

Bihar
Bihar, the land of Lord Buddha, Mahaveera, Guru Gobind Singh, Vidyapati and of the countless scholars and achievers! Ironically, Bihar is one of the poor states today. Every year recurring floods affects millions and causes huge loss in terms of life, property, crop and revenue. Lack of higher educational infrastructure causes students (who can change destiny of Bihar), to migrate for education. There are less than a dozen medical and engineering colleges for state with a population of 100 millions. Unavailability of employment opportunity in home causes job seekers (educated or labors) to migrate for work. The list is big like insufficient hospitals, electricity, closed or non functioning factories of Sugarcane, Silk, Jute, Paper, Chemical factories etc. no BPO and Software industries. Bihar Revival Forum is a small initiative to achieve the great Bihari dream! Let the thoughts flow!

Problem - Solution
Most critical problem in Bihar is flood, education and unemployment. The recurring flood affects millions and causes huge loss in terms of life, property, crop and revenue. We have proposal to excavate a 356 km canal parallel to Nepal border and on Bihar soil. This will regulate the flood caused by rivers originating from Nepal and spreading havoc. For that canal we don’t have to rely on Nepal. Everything is in our hands. We have dreams to establish special economic zone in the region. This canal can regulate floods, generate abundant employment opportunities, produce hydro-electricity, can seal the Bihar-Nepal border, and can limit illegal activities on the border and more.

Bihar Kosi Calamity in 2008:
1. 2.5 million people were affected
2. Life of over 19 lakh people from 725 villages spread across 263 panchayats in 24 blocks of Madhepura, Araria, Supaul and Saharsa districts was on stake.

What if it happens again?

Facts and figures
Measurements Water Discharge through Koshi Breach : 1,29,800 cusec (Ref. Page 2, http://disastermgmt.bih.nic.in/Bulletin2008/dailyfloodreport/flood_23082008.pdf )

Width of Nepal border: (356 km approx) 356000 m

Adbhut Samridhi Canal Proposal
Canal Parallel to Nepal border with dimension 350000 * 1000 * 2 cubic m which can store 70,00,00,000 cubic m of water and can store all the water flowing at 1,29,800 cusec for more than 2 days. Using the excavated soil the depth of the canal can be increased further which can store more water. Excavated soil can also be used to construct hydroelectric power generation units. Control on flood will increase agricultural production. Abundant electricity will lead to Industrial revival.
