On behalf of Organizing Committee

Aims & objectives:

Bihar is one of the poorest state in country where around half of the population are uneducated . This miserable condition is because of  non availability of proper means not because of their unwillingness towards study.
The main hurdle is their poverty which leads them to discontinue their education.
.The main aim of this Project is to help those needy talents who don't have means to continue their further education.

Idea:

The main idea behind this scheme is that even if we help one student, it will be a great help for the individual .

 "All of us has studied in some school of Bihar and almost every school has poor students who are needy to continue their education. You can choose your own school or any needy talent or any school as your mission project and give your Project idea to BB. BB society will process your scheme and offer help on your behalf to them.."

What BiharBrains can do?

1. Any interested person can send their proposal in written to BiharBrains.
2. The BiharBrains society will help in sending amount /selecting needy brains/organizing test exams etc .
3. BiharBrains society will gather information about the list of needy poor and will raise fund for them from any group or individual.
4. Opening school for needy children: BiharBrains can also open residential school for needy children in which education with free accommodation will be imparted to students till the completion of matriculation. The selection of those students will be on the basis of Test exams or other means decided by committee of BiharBrains.

Venue: Sri Krishna Memorial Hall, Patna, India.

Dear All,

On behalf of the organizing committee of Scientific Foresight 2007, it is our pleasure to invite you to the "Scientific Foresight 2007" symposium on 22 nd-24th December 2007 at Patna.

Started in 2005, Scientific Foresight is an effort to trigger the development of scientific temperament among youth, particularly those who are in Bihar, and ignite their scientific mind to bring about social, economic, and intellectual development through applications of science and technology.

The event aims at:
• Bringing business and scientific community on a single platform for exchange of ideas, knowledge, experience, and trends.
• Providing a learning platform for students to showcase their talent as well as develop the right scientific temperament through interaction with larger scientific community.
• Providing a platform for local scientific institutions to interact with their counterparts from various parts of India as well as representatives from some foreign universities as well for sharing ideas and best practices for improving the quality of education and research.

The social and economical development of a society, particularly a socially and economically backward though intellectually brilliant society like Bihar, is knowledge driven. The development of scientific temperament among youth, knowledge base, and infrastructure for research and development to cultivate and groom this temperament become key differentiators.

It would indeed be an honour if you accept our humble invitation and share some of your precious time with young students and academicians to ignite their mind. Your presence would go a long way in bringing back the intellectual curiosity among youth to trigger social and economic development.

We aspire to hear from you soon. Enclosed is a brief description of the event, its history, people behind the endeavor, and some of the esteemed members of the scientific community expected to participate in this year's event.

Convenor, RamRaj Pandey

Origaniser: BiharBrains(BBrains Development Society) ,One Bihar, Bihari , Cool Bihari and other NRIs based organization .
This event is now being supported and sponsored by  Department of Science & Technology, and Dept of IT,Govt of Bihar.

The meeting was hosted by Dr. Rajay Narain, general secretary Bihar Foundation, at his residence at Arya Kumar Road in Patna.

The meeting was presided over by Dr. Murali Sinha, President, Bihar Foundation, while Dr. B. K. Sharma, President, BiharBrains, represented his organization. Among others who were present on the occasion included Dr. S. P. Verma, promoter Bihar Brains and the former Head of the Department, Physics, Patna Science College, S. N. Sandhwar, Manager operations, of the BiharBrains and the former AGM, State Bank of India, Patna.

Besides holding discussions on various projects, the office-bearers also discussed their desire to bring back the British Council Library in Patna that wounded up its operation in the lack of adequate membership and poor management nearly six years ago.

Last Year, Ministry of Human Resource announced three IITs in India, In that One IIT was given to Bihar too . The central govt gave clear cut indication that location should be near airport and all infrastructure (means roads, electricity, water etc) should be given by state govt. After so much of discussion, it was finalized to set up IIT near Bihta at Patna. Once team of IIT committee surveyed this location too. But I heard that till today there is no good response from state govt to central govt because land owners are not ready and govt doesn't want to involve much as govt afraid on repeating West Bengal case in Bihar.

Even IIFT has been announced in Bihar, but I couldn't hear any news about this institute where going to be established and when batches are going to start. The presence of Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) in Bihar is good for fashion industry and more than that this institute has got good reputation in India. But it seems, again govt failed to provide land and all infrastructure to IIFT management.

One National School of Management (IIM type) was announced which was going to be started in Hindi Bhawan and the proposal was taken back because of the sharp criticism by all circles. This was announced that some other place of National school of Management (IIM type) will be provided but no decision yet.

He will be remembered for  his contribution towards revamping education system in Bihar. The establishment of many institutes of higher education  and  mass level appointment of primary teachers in a record time were an example of his excellency under his able leadership . The implementation of " Common school system " was  a unique example for the whole nation.

The time when Bihar is in the process of revamping its education system , his presence was required.

"If Bihar comes out of educational anarchy and retain its past glory, the contribution of this patriot will be remembered by a sense of proud".

May god give peace in his soul!

Regards

You have got it wrong
It was in the agenda for discussionbetween Indian and Japanese Premier during his just concluded visit.
Lobbying from Bihar at the highest level which should have been done was not done due to sabotage by a pervert.
When CM met Jap PM in a dinner thrown by Indian PM he mentioned IIT bihar but at that time it was little late.as before that the all important meeting had taken place bet the PMs where this item was deferred

Dear All,

         This is very bad to hear this news about neglect of IIT in Bihar and there was no discussion on Japanese premiere visit though it was one agenda for Hon'ble CM Bihar. Talking on Nalanda university is good but sidelining or not talking on IIT in Bihar with assistance from Japanese govt when Japapnese govt has taken more interst in establishing IIT in Bihar is now a serious concern .

I don't know what has prevailed him(Hon'ble CM) to pull back from this but certainly some things wrong is going on,
Now we all should send letter to Hon'ble CM to take up this matter very seriously in front of Japanese govt . If it is required Sri Nitish kumar jee should visit Japan .

The establishment of IIT in Bihar in association with Japanese govt has importance for becoming center of excellence for which IITs are  known . We all know that all the four IITs are doing good which were established in association with foreign collaborations.

 BiharBrains(BBrains development society ,www.biharbrains.org ) will now think about writing  letter to CM/PM/HRD minsitry of India as well as PM of Japan for taking his issue very seriously.
I would like to requiest you all to join hands with us as collaborative effort.

I do request all of you for try utmost possible what can you do for the development of Bihar. This is in the best interest of the state as well as the nation.
we have to develop Bihar as educational hub ,, and it will be when we all give our service to motherland.  Please come forward for execution and its better execution.

Looking forward for the positive reponse.

Thx Sri Ajay thakur,Principal secy ,DST , Bhar  for sharing this news and taking pain for calling on telephone to me and to every one from New Delhi. I do praise you for this.

Dear Friends

All Central Institutions have a tendency of getting located near Metropolitan Centers so Bihar falls in a rainshadow area.Out of 500 or national center of Exellence Bihar has none.Recently We have got an IIT which is to be located near Bihta.

Taking advantage of  guilt feeling at Govt of India level I made HRD GOI to recommend the Bihar's IIT over the competing claims of IIT Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh for Japanese asssistance To be decided during the recent visit of Jap PM To India.This was in pursuance of offer made by Japanese PM during his visit to India during 2005.

It is not a question of finacial assistance assistance alone but of total Japanese Commitment for all times to come towards development of this center.And its indirect spinoffs for welfare and development of Bihar.

Unfortunately due to sabotage by a pervert Bihari officer the importance of this could not be impressed on NItish Kumar as I was   prevented from reaching him and all my efforts to take advantage of this historic opportunity was systematically thawarted by him.This is no less important for Bihar Than the Nuke Deal for India .

All IIT who have come without solid technical collaboration are nowhere IIT Gauhati is a case in point.

It is really a question for Do or Die for Bihar and all Biharis whose heart pines for the Development of the much maligned  Motherland

Let us all joint hands wherever you are to request Japenese Government and GOI not to do this injustice and overlook the claim of Bihar in favour of more developed States.At the same time we have to Request Nitish Kumar to get cracking as you are all behind him as one in this fight for Vibrant Bihar.

No power on the earth can prevent us as we from thhe land Of Buddha and trying to restore his Glory with his blessing

Our Polilitcians are involving themself in dragging themselves only, doing heinous politics, they don't involve themselves in the development actvity of the state or region, They don't even know what is IISER ,They don't take responsibility for bringing good institute in Bihar. Atleast this is the reason why Bihar didn't get any good institute in Bihar in the past, This is the reason why Bihar got bad name in eveything .

Our politicians should learn from people of South India/western India .........They all sit together in Parliament but other parts of leader discuss about some development of their region , our leaders discuss the thing which he/she should not discuss or atleast not related with the development.

I have seen statement from Tamil Nadu Hon;ble CM just after Hon'ble PM Accouncement on Aug 15,2007 about setting up of IISER /IIT/IIM , he released demand for all the three institutes in TN in front of press and then CII gave supporttive response of Karunanidhi demand.
But here in Bihar ,, after 2 yrs battle , we just meet DST bihar, Our Hon;ble CM just send letter to Hon'ble PM which is not enough . He should do what TN CM did before.
Hon'ble CM is even not accepted today meeting with BB delegation.

Thx to DST ,Bihar and also new Principal secy Sri Ajay Kumar jee who understands our's view and also why setting up of IISER/IIT are neccessary for Bihar. He is doing his best job for Bihar.

Sri Ajay jee as Principal secy of DST ,Bihar met Hon'ble CM and gave presentation about IISER but in response only writing letter to Hon'ble PM is not enough . Our CM should raise voice in support of our demand the way in which TN CM is did ,, but till today he could not. Even national daily of Bihar has not given good coverage of Letter of CM to PM for demand of IISER in Bihar. It should come in bold on first page ..

An answer by SMT. D. PURANDESWARI (minister of state in MHRD) for the question raised by Dr Ramkripal yadav in parliament , indicates that probably ministry is not considering the establishment of IISER in bihar. Dont you think advisory commiittee is biased? and most of ministers from our state are fulling us? What effort they are initiatin?

Thanks to Dr Ramkripal yadav for putting the question.

Achieving sustainable and long term economic growth through a eight step process.

0. God Governance: Institutionalization of efficient & effective governance through structural changes & induced autonomy in the various establishments. Re-establishing meritocracy and building the environment for excellence in administration.

I can make out from the emerging pattern & methods in the chief ministers initiative as this to be already the case. Anyway, prime responsibility for this lies in hand of state government.

1. Increase Urbanization: Working to the plan instead of stepping everywhere. State ought to decide how much people it wants to be dependent on rural economy and what % it would it like to move to urban growth centre. We will have to remember that our rural economy is a fine case of underemployment and also incidences of hidden unemployment are quite common. In my opinion state need to achieve 60-40 ratio by 2015 to optimize its developmental process. We need to conceptualize and develop six or seven mega cities of over 40 lac population in the state. We will have to ensure planned development of these cities; JNNURM should be taken optimum advantage of in this process.

However, in building these mega cities state will have to plan among other things as to what will drive the economy of the cities. Cities will have to be developed alongside the industrial clusters, befitting their competitive strength.

State will have to plan all these angles about mega cities, central government need to put them under JNNURM to support in developing the urban amenities.

2. Revive Rural Economy: Rural economy needs to be energized through cooperatives like COMFED in the other segments of "Potentially Rural Productivity" including in agro-processing, food processing, and animal husbandry and so on, with liberal dose of upstream corporate retailing linkages involving Bharti, Reliance, Tata & Birlas. State should take initiative to bring home contract farming, contract food processing / animal products processing and contract agro processing in association with these corporate groups.

3. Build Financial Infrastructure: As far the basic ingredients for economy goes state has advantage of land ( raw material) and labor (though skill enhancement is definitely needed) but lacks in Capital, Management & Entrepreneurs. It is not a hidden secret that Bihar lacks in home grown Capital Market & Financial Infrastructure. Market outside is plagued by many stereotypes about the state putting it at the disadvantage. Creation of homegrown financial market is a pre-requisite for development of the state. Ready access to capital market, awareness & understanding of capital market is very much adds in availing the capital so badly needed for industrial development.

Some of the financial market Apex (Regulatory) Bodies, and also a few PSU's, need to be headquartered in the state. May be state can ask Pension Fund Regulatory Authority to be located in State. Advent of the apex body itself will make it mandatory for all the governed entities to set up a shop in the state.

Building a culture of "Financial Excellence" is simply an imperative.

4. Institutions as Growth Drivers: Setting up of "Centre of Excellences" in Higher Education, Specialized Education Centers (as under various ministries at centre other than the ones under HRD) Technical Education, Research, and Vocational Institutes & Training Centers. This institution acts as the nucleus for "Economic Capability Building" and results in a definite competitive advantage in knowledge economy.

If we go by what has happened elsewhere, these "Center of Excellences" has been set up by central government only. State has got a short shrift in allocation of these assets. Regional Interest active at central level did never thought of building India. People at the helm of affairs were busy building there own native states. Bihar & UP lost out as they lulled themselves in the belief of being one India.

Though state can go ahead and create these institutions and it should be doing so, It should also fight for its right till the skewed situation in rectified in states favour. Under the garb of military principle of strategic depth, national asset can not be made repository of southern region. Bureaucrats & Ministers from heartland so get all those policies which militates against these states shelved, be it freight equalization, or the current policy of taking infrastructure development to the developed areas. Developed areas should sustain themselves through user charges & private investment. Public Investment should go to underdeveloped region.

State can not afford to loose out its elite through brain drain. Large Scale Migration warrants charges of criminal negligence of Eastern UP & Bihar. If central government does not proceed to rectify the situation, it should be prosecuted on this count.

5. Building Backbone Infrastructure: It is pity that state is being accorded the lowest priority under NHDP and also the GAIL Gas Grid has not been extended to the state even after a lapse of two decades, when it was brought to Jagdishpur in UP.

Nobody can believe about B++ Grading by NAAC team to Patna's premiere Science College which was once known as the "Cambridge of the East" and still known as the best college in Bihar.

This news is really kind of shocking to everybody and now this is the matter for discussion among educated class of Bihar too living in India and abroad on the issue of failing norms and standards of education by this college in recent years.

We don't know on which NAAC parameters this premier college failed to satisfy the criteria but there is no doubt as far as quality of teachers, quality of students, quality of labs (in comparison to other colleges of Bihar), cut off marks for admission into ISC/BSC/MSC, results of students in IITs/IIMs/UPSC exam are concerned, this college is still the best in Bihar and better than many colleges that received A Grade in various cities of India.

As I am an alumni of this college in PG dept and also involved with some projects with college, I do feel the degradation in maintaining past quality at all fronts and also faced many problems while executing projects in the said premier college. I am going to enlist some negative side of the college which may have caused for this sorry figure:

1. Professors of the college are involved in private tuitions to earn money.
   
2. Research work is almost zero. (But this is the only college in Bihar where few does real research work).
   
3. Most of the good teachers are retired. No new appointments have taken place.
   
4. No good professional courses run by Science College, still they are the best in basic sciences.
   
5. Non-initiative nature for new things/new courses by professors

Comments:
Following seven criteria has been identified to serve as the basis of assessment procedures by National Assessment and Accreditation council of India (NAAC)

Curricular Aspects
Teaching-Learning and Evaluation
Research, Consultancy and Extension
Infrastructure and Learning Resources
Student Support and Progression
Organization and Management
Healthy Practices

A high level team of the foundation visited Bihar earlier this week to explore possibilities of helping in the modernisation of one of the country's least developed states that has one of the worst economic and social indicators.

"The team, during their three-day visit, discussed the matter with top government officials, agricultural experts, scientists, NGOs and
representatives of farmers to plan the mode of investment," the official told IANS.

According to Alok Kumar Sikka of the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (eastern region), the foundation has shown interest in the state's agriculture, horticulture, fishery and animal husbandry.

"The foundation is likely to provide training in high-tech agriculture and its management," the official added.

On Sikka's initiative, the team visited some villages in Patna district to get first hand information from farmers about agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery activities and their socio-
economic conditions.

The team led by Rose Stener had four experts from different fields and are likely to visit Bihar again to discus their proposal.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had earlier expressed its willingness to help Bihar eradicate the deadly kala azar disease.

Last month, a global meet of 500 experts, including NRIs, economists and investors was also held to boost investment in Bihar.

http://www.bihartimes.com/news07/Feb/0722.htm

The main objective of this program was to have interaction of professors and students of various colleges of Patna with invited Guests on the topic "Role of NRIs in the Development of Bihar".
Over 100 students from Patna science college, NIT Patna , College of Commerce ,AN college , BN college and the representative professors of Patna Science College, College of commerce and AN College also participated in the said program.
This provided a golden opportunity for the students to have direct interaction with NRIs/NRBs and industrialists of Bihar who have achieved in their personal and professional career and have come forward for the development of the state. The students asked many questions related to development of Bihar.
