What next ….. Create a wider, diverse and a passionate network of Biharis. Involve more local partners in this effort, we have enough talent and passion in Bihar

which will help us in executing ideas on ground. Create a positive and emerging vibe about Bihar as the heart and soul of India. We

like to call in Bihar 2.0. Partner effectively with local, national and international private and govt. agencies to

bring focus on Bihar. Share the expertise, knowledge and diverse experience to the folks back in Bihar. This will

mean partnering with govt. institutions, MNC's and big corporate houses as well to bring about some grass root level changes.

Become a very powerful Bihari pressure group which also acts as watchdog against media .

Work towards  branding Bihar at various levels through use of web 2.0 means like groups,blogs,wikis,orkut,facebook,collectivex, etc.It would also mean using audio-visuals, branding cultural stuff like madhubani paintings,bhojpuri movies and songs,litti chokha,patna rice,bhagalpuri silk,muzzafarpuri litchi are just few legacies of this great land. Our experience with the Gauravshali Bihar book and I am Bihar t-shirt has been extremely encouraging.

Present a united face of Bihar intellectual and social talent to the world. This means we need to partner with Biharis and even Non biharis who are willing to help us in our effort.

Focus on backward and forward integration. So the connection with State govt,officials and people on ground is critical.
