We are A Cut above the Rest.

This is real Bihar and the real character of Bihari People. Whent hings don't change we take upon ourselves to change it. That is thereason Buddhism and Jaininsm grew here. That is why Champaran Satyagraha started the second phase of Freedom Struggle. First was faught by many among other Veer Kunwar Sing of Bihar. The real character is survival in the face of adversity.We say enough is enough and the world takes notice.

Read this very inspiring story of a poor villager in Bihar.

"When water bodies in most villages in southern Bihar are shrinking and drying and villagers have to increasingly seek help from the state government, the story of a frail 63-year-old man has attracted attention from far and wide — mostly, however, from the people and nearly none so far from the Nitish Kumar government.

Kamaleshwari Singh, a semi-literate farmer of Manikpur village in Barh block of Patna district, surprised everyone who came to know of his feat. Over seven years, this man has dug a 60-ft-by-60-ft pond that is 25 ft deep, all by himself, using only a trowel and a bucket. He had to use a trowel, he says, because he could not manage to lift a spade."

We must show to the world that we are far better Society to live in,do business with and intellectually and politically much aware than others. We must rise above caste and religion.

Show that We are A Cut above the Rest.
