Chairman's Message


sdf

Dear Friends,

As world is progressing fast, Indian Economy is becoming more strong and stable, showing its visible presence and affecting on the global market. But Bihar, which was known to be the hub of Tech brains, paradise for Intellect, Center for learning cultural ethics and religious values, have become back-runner in the race of all round development. The possible reason may be political gimmickry, socio-economic backwardness, mental asylum, lacking in “positive attitudes” etc---, but being educated people of this region, I do strongly feel lagging in co-ordination, co-operation among erudite of this region is also one of the reason for the backwardness of the state. Keeping the same idea in my brain space with strong conviction and dedication, I started this group (becoming society) with said objectives, goal and mission, on October 4, 2004 as First Scientific Forum, which is now taking shape of the first Real Development Forum of state.

During over one year of its existence, we have become successful in opening 16 branches in India (Patna, New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jamshedpur, Ranchi) and Abroad (USA, UK, Canada, South Korea, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia) and established BiharBrains Scholastic center at BM DAS Road, Patna where people can visit, read international journals, use CDs for many softwares and for the preparation of GRE/GMAT/TOEFL. In addition to this, Scholastic center is the platform for the people who wish to shape their career, to do Research & development and to contribute himself for the betterment of society. We start and execute the development projects for Bihar through this center by the contribution of NRIs, NRBs and people residing in Bihar.

We are in process to give BB Scholastic Center (BBSC) as role model for Bihar and would like to establish Brand image in the name of BiharBrains.

In some of the successful program and Event, VLSI Orientation Program, 3D modeling program and other seminars time to time by our members at Patna were very much successful. Recently concluded, Symposium “SciTechFest, 2005” was a major success for the BiharBrains. In the symposium, many papers from student and Professors were presented and some project model was also shown. This symposium was attended by Hon’ble Science and Technology minister Dr. Anil Kumar.

I do hope, BB resource cum counseling center in association with Patna University will add fuel to the fire. BB Patna Resource Center will be the CDAC Authorized Center for Training into VLSI (Chip Design), Embedded System, Mutimedia, and other IT related courses. This will be the first CDAC authorized center In Bihar. On the occasion of Patna Resource Center Inauguration, we are also releasing Manthan: a new printed magazine as well as E-Magazine started by BiharBrains.

This first issue of the Manthan comes out after the commendable effort taken by our Editorial board members. We collected articles from all over the world in the entire subject except politics and jokes. As per our plan, this magazine will be the monthly magazine from Bihar. We are in the process of forming editorial team of Media person, academician and scientists for the enhanced issue of the said magazine. I do hope “Manthan” will gain popularity like Readers digest in the world.
