Bihar Foundation's global meet meet in Janaury 2010

The next global meet of Bihar Foundation, formed by the state government to attract investments from Bihari NRIs and those living outside the state, will be held in the last week of January, 2010.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting chaired by deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi. The meeting also decided that a Bihar minister or a senior bureaucrat will interact with Bihari NRIs and those living outside their state through internet and will apprise them of the steps taken for development of the state. Suggestions would also be sought from them in this regard.

The meeting decided to open more chambers of the foundation outside Bihar and abroad. The chambers will be opened in Kolkata and Banaglore soon. There is a move to open chambers in Mumbai, Jaipur and Bhopal and also in the UK, the USA, Russia, Australia, Canada, Mauritius and Gulf countries.

At a seminar organised by an undertaking of the Union ministry for urban development, Regional Centre for Urban and Environmental Studies-Lucknow, Modi stressed the need to take into account local needs before preparing a government plan.link
