At a monday morning, I am thinking about the last three years of Bihar Development Trust . It has been a whirlwind drive , a roller coaster ride. Starting with no idea except development of Bihar to finally a diversified group with interest in Microfinance, Textile, Agribusiness. Starting with two people to a 30 people team working in various programmes. Somehow, a shape is being visible far away. Either we emerge as an INFOSYS or TATA Group, it has to be seen. As there are 4 indepenedent promoters from 2 to start with and whose number will keep on increasing as we need manpower and money, we seem to be following INFOSYS model. INFOSYS is a group of 7 people leading a team of more than a lakh professionals. We may be same as Infosys. But, our domain is not single one. We are already in 3 verticals and trying to consolidate that. Then, wwe will increasing our verticals as Bihar need power, many more factories of production and services. We may be building power plants albeit from renewable sources for rural electrification . We may be building biggest decentralised handloom production system of textile in Bhagalpur. We may be building food processing factories as well as creating Kisan Sewa Kendra and rural godowns.
Activity wise, we are following TATA model with BDT becoming a holding trust for Microfinance, Textile and Agribusiness and many other initiative.

I do not know when and how we throught 20 billion dollar dream for Bihar. But, as we are growing through struggle, the convictions seems on getting stronger and stronger. All 4 promoters now believe strongly that a 20 billion dollar enterprise is possible in Bihar. The journey started with 2 promoters with 5000 rupees. The journey has reached to a balance sheet size of 2 crores in three years. It took three months to open a bank account. Now, banks are requesting to open accounts in their branches.

Over the last 3 years, we have been able to reach 3000 families and providing them some services. This is a miniscule fraction of 10 lakh families that we seek to reach. But, we have started and journey continues.

This is a long journey and we are just started walking. We know that we have to keep walking........................... Keep Walking........................
