Dear well wishers of Bihar,
Please read till end and reply!
Everyday we are getting new groups and forums where people just talk. Talking is good as you get lot of ideas from different minds. But These ideas should used on ground.
My question is that how we can take it up from here?
We are ready to merge our agenda with any committed organization who believe in us and help us in the execution of our plans.
During the Koshi calamity days while collecting relief funds we came up with idea to have a canal at Bihar Nepal border to end the misery.
We worked on this proposal in nights, on weekends and on holidays (apart from our job which pays our bills) and published on our website www.astroavinash.com which is down now but back up is available at below links.
http://temp.astroavinashcom.officelive.com/koshi.aspx
http://temp.astroavinashcom.officelive.com/nepalbordercanal.aspx
The support was encouraging and overwhelming.
8 or nine months later similar canal was proposed by the Govt. of Bihar which was covered in Dainik Hindustan (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=448306249185&set=o.117926088238557).
This was a great success for us because we had published it at public site so that it gets noticed.
But we feel that we could have contacted by govt of Bihar and we could have provided more inputs which we continue to do through out sites for example we proposed that with strong will canal excavation may be started by state govt on their own.
No worries though. Our countless freedom fighters did not die expecting people with remember them. We want canal not credit.
Govt sent the proposal and no mention of that afterwords. But for us it is our dream and hope! We have started signature compaign in support.

बिहार दिवस और आप
बिहार के पुनर्निर्माण में हर बिहारी की भागीदारी आवश्यक ही नहीं बल्कि अनिवार्य है. आप भी सादर आमंत्रित हैं. आप बहुत कुछ कर सकते हैं. छोटी छोटी बातों से शुरुवात कर सकते हैं. जैसे कि, सार्वजनिक स्थलों एवं सम्पतियों का ख्याल रखें. सफाई का ख्याल रखें, यहाँ वहां कचरा, कागज, पन्नी इत्यादि न फेकें. पान खाकर, गुटखा खाकर सरेआम थूकना बंद कर दें. खुलेआम पेशाब और शौच न करें. सार्वजनिक शौचालय के उपयोग के पश्चात फ्लस करे, पानी डाले. सबकी इज्ज़त करे, दबंगई न करे, छोटी छोटी बातों को इज्ज़त की बात मान हाथापाई और गली गलौज न करें, उत्तेजित न होवें, जाने दें. टिकट लेने के लिए, आवेदन करने के लिए, हर जगह पंक्ति में लगे. यात्रा करते वक़्त सहयात्रियों के सुविधा का ख्याल रखे. ऊँची आवाज में संगीत न सुने, मोबाइल पर बात करते वक़्त आस पास के लोगो के सुविधा का ख्याल रखें. गाड़ी चलाते वक़्त अनुशासित व्यवहार करें, पैदल यात्रियों को सड़क पार करने का अवसर दें. ऐसी अनेक छोटी छोटी बातें हैं.
बिहार से बाहर आकर यदि हम ये कर सकते हैं तो बिहार में रहते हुए क्यों नहीं? थोड़ी तकलीफ होगी पर त्याग तो करना पड़ेगा, प्रयत्न तो करना ही होगा. बदलाव चाहिए तो करना ही पड़ेगा, अपने लिए, अपने अपनों के लिए, अपने बच्चों के लिए.
ये छोटी छोटी बातें एक गौरवशाली और समृद्ध बिहार के लिए नींव का काम करेंगी.
बिहार सरकार ने केंद्र सरकार को एक महत्वकांक्षी नहर के निर्माण की योजना का प्रस्ताव भेजा है. ये नहर बाढ़ से रक्षा करेगी, पनबिजली संयंत्र से अपार विद्युत् पैदा करेगी. बिहार में कृषि एवं औद्योगिक क्रांति लाएगी. ये नहर कही राज्य और केंद्र की राजनीति का सिर्फ मुद्दा न बनकर रह जाये इसलिए नहर निर्माण के मुहीम से जुड़े.
मै चीखू-चिल्लाऊ करू विनती हजार !
अकेले मरी आवाज को सुने कौन सरकार?
दस लाख हम जब मिले और करे पुकार!
कैसे न सुनेगी बहरी से बहरी सरकार!!
बिहार दिवस के अवसर पर प्रण लें, प्रयत्न करते रहे, औरो को भी प्रेरित करें.

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.

Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted
Dear friends,
Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted.
www.hindustantimes.com/Disaster-like-Kosi-flood-averted/Article1-601536.aspx
Surprisingly media is not giving much importance to it.
Where is media?
BRF has deeps concerns that it may happen again.
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.
220-m-World-Bank-credit-for-Bihar-flood-affected-areas
Will it reach to people who really need?

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.

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
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.
Bihar Revival Forum on LinkedIn
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:
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. 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 )
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 cause agricultural and Industrial revolution.
So, we must voice together and act!

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.

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 @

The Mountain Man, Dashrath Manjhi
Late Dashrath Manjhi also known as the Mountain Man, who single-handedly carved out a road by cutting through a Bihar mountain for 21 long years.

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.

Three Gorges Dam, China.
This hydropower dam is the largest in the world. Being able to use water for generating power is vital to the Chinese people.
