Patna,(BiharTimes): Call it precursor to Facebook or Twitter, social
networking sites, Friends of Bihar has been doing this job for the
last 12 years ever since BiharTimes.com was launched on October 08,
1999. |
In fact BiharTimes owes it to late Dr Arvind Narayan Das, former
Editor Research of the Times of India (Delhi) and one of the greatest
Bihari intellectuals of his time, for this idea. Dr Das, who after
quitting the Times of India, used to contribute his articles to
various national dailies, along with BiharTimes, suggested that
Friends of Bihar would be the dynamic platform for networking Biharis
living all over the world.
The idea clicked. Thousands of Biharis living in over 60 countries are
connected to it. Some countries have their own coordinators.
Recently, Anil Sinha, MD of Call2Connect and a very successful
entrepreneur from Bihar made his company pioneer in its own field,
offered his help to make it automatic. “Our team will take care of
this great initiative and would feel happy to do something for this
initiative” said Sinha when he last attended the BiharTimes Conclave
in Patna. Now the names and all the related facts would be registered
automatically on Friends of Bihar site. There is nothing manual about
it now. This new new dynamic platform will not only provide an
effective network as well as a platform to echo their own opinion.
Scholars, journalists, experts, writers, academics, techies,
scientists, doctors, and other NRBs all are members of this
over-extended family. The latest move will give a new life to ‘Friends
of Bihar’ and cement the ties among the members.
