BBB Screening at CIMP, 14-Oct2008 - Patna







CIMP was a whole new experience. Screening was successful. There was some technical glitches but else it was a good show. Had a lot of interaction with students. The majority problem which I have been experiencing with we biharis is fear of taking initiative about things. The minds of the people, irrespective of their age, caste and creed, needs to be oriented, moulded, and channelized in a direction where they can become more sensitive toward Bihar. I saw that, the sense of ownership, sense of pride and awareness about surrounding is deeply lacking in citizens of Bihar. Unless that sense of responsibility and love for Bihar grows in Biharis, we will always be the most backward region of India. I could sense that students of CIMP can do much better. In the interaction I told them that dont be just another sheep in the herd. No MBA degree can make one a successful Business man or a good administrator. Business is an art. One can learn art only if he/she is aware about his/her surrounding. About the social structure in which we are existing. Like an artist, draws, what he/she interprets or sees around him/her. Unless we know about social, political and economic situation of our soil, we can never bring a business here. I hope that students of CIMP must keep one thing in mind that, we all have high hopes from them as the carriers of development in Bihar. Its true that parents have spend 5 lacs on each of them, but they will have to give even bigger and greater sacrifices for this land, land of enlightenment. Mr. Mukundas is a father figure for this institutions. I hope that he be there for at least 20 years. When a person like him can a hundreds of kilometers away from his home to create an institution, why cant we Biharis do the same living here. There is no doubt that CIMP can be like one of the IIMs or even better than that. But students of CIMP must increase the horizon of their thought. Their imagination need to be ignited beyond the limit of the academic curriculum. I am thankful to all the guys, especially Vishwanath, one of the students who kept on running before, during and after screening. Good Luck!!

Hi.
I have watched your documentary BBB .I am not from the State of Bihar but still i was very well connected with the movie during its screening due to the excellent direction, sound technical work and effective presentation of the facts .I found this movie as an eye opener .It has not only revealed the main reasons which were unknown to the masses ragarding the underdevelopment of Bihar but has also beautifully portayed the legacy of Bihar.In short i would like to recommend this movie to everyone who believes in comeback and resilience .Kudos to crusaders like you who want the change and cant accept ignorance and under development.
