I am very much happy to learn about Bihar Foundation-Mumbai Chapter. I feel that Bihar needs investments which can create large no. of sustainable employment. Lot of work has been done by the present Govt. which has improved situation a lot but still we have large qualified unemployed/ under-employed population in Bihar. There has not been much investment or employment generation in manufacturing sector. If Mumbai chapter can attract capital Investment in manufacturing sector, it will be a real achievement.

The the formal inaugration of Mumbai chapter by our Dy CM Mr. Modi backed up by strong team of able officer bearers of Bihar foundation specially Mumbai Chapter was simply superb.
The show had a real blend of people from all walks of life and showcasing present Bihar was excellent. The cultural program was very well crafted.
It gave me the feeling of being lucky to be part of the audience. It reinforces my personal belief that Bihar is going to reach greater height in shorter time than many may expect.

Keep going my friends. Tomorrow is ours!

Jai Bihar

We already have our presence in Singapore. Mr. S. Rai is the coordinator there. We have just opened our UAE, S. Korea and N.E. USA Chapter. Also Mr. Sanjay Pandeya is coordinator at Australia.
We are planning to open our chapters in Fiji, Surinam, Netherland, Canada as well as at other places.
We invite the participation of the Bihari Diaspora in this endeavour.

It is really very good oppurtunity for NRB to unite culturally with our motherland Bihar.
I hope Bihar foundation will open chapters overseas also in Fiji, singapore , Mauritius, Trinidad, Suriname, holland etc and hold cultural programmes and history of our motherland Bihar.
Jai bihar !! Jai Buddha !!
