Funding support required for Bihar Development Trust

Dear Friends,



Greetings!



Bihar Development Trust is going through growth pains. We are growing rapidly. We have disbursed more than Rs.900,000 to more than 160 women borrowers and hope to cross Rs.1000,000 mile stone in this week. More than 160 women borrowers are returning Rs.20,000 every week also.



You all have supported us all through. You are witnessing a home grown enterprise growing up in Bihar. This organisation has not been started by some Ambanis or money bags that you found in abundance in Bihar. You are learning about Bihar Development Trust regularly through e mails. This organisation has been started by two middle class youngsters who faced social and family and professional resistance but did it. Bihar Development Trust can be the next TATA but rooted in Bihar. We have survived for 14 months and determined to survive for all times to come.



You are aware of our financial and moral integrity through blogs and websites like www.bihardev.pbwiki,com , www.bihardev.org.in , www.bihardev.blogspot.com . You can visit our photos http://picasaweb.google.com/rchandra1231/



The crux of the arguement is that you need to support us financially. We are willing to accept highest level of scrutiny from you. You can ask people who have supported us financially. They are part of this group. You can mail to the group enquiring about credential of Bihar Development Trust . People who have supported us will reply to you.



You all agree that Bihar needs investment on multiple front be it health, education, water and sanitation or microfinance. We believe that people are capable of taking care of themsleves once they get access to credit and market. We are working on giving them access to credit and market so that income levels of people go up.



Bihar is witnessing a silent revolution by enterpreneurs like us whom Indian diaspora & citizens and in particular Bihari diaspora, citizens should support.



Discussing on Bihar will not help bihar much. You need to put money where your mouth is. You were looking for an honest initiative that cuts the clutter of corruption. Bihar Development Trust is here. You need to believe in us and our vision.



We are getting institutional funding support but we need individual support to maintain the overhead cost. After all, providing benefits to people entails some cost. You people need to rise up to support us.



We are competing for your financial support. You appraise our potential and put your money where you get the highest social return of your investments.



Waiting for your queries and brickbats



Regards



Ravi Chandra
