This IIM topper sells vegetables

He is shy, and speaks broken English. He loves Bihar, the state in which he was born and brought up. He is an alumnus (and topper) of IIM- Ahmedabad. He was MTV's youth icon for 2008.

And he is a vegetable vendor.

Surya Ragunaathan meets Kaushalendra Kumar, a young social entrepreneur currently doing some pioneering work in the field of vegetable retail.

Interview:

What inspired you to be an entrepreneur and start doing something on your own? 

Since childhood, I have been learning many should-be-done-in-agriculture-sector things. Especially in Bihar. I always found farmers had nobody to look up to, no support from anybody. Being a farmer's son myself, I thought I have been given an opportunity (of getting a good education and to be knowledgeable) which most farmers' children don't get in this country. So I wanted to do something for our society and for them especially. Because nobody cares for them.

Is your work completely charitable, or are you also making a livelihood out of this?

We are not doing any charity. We are making our livelihood out of this as well. This is a business opportunity for farmers and for all of us.

So what exactly do you do?

My organisation is called KNIDS Green Pvt. Ltd. and Samriddhii is the vegetable retail project. We focus on mobilizing and organizing the informal and fragmented vegetable sector. We resource poor vegetable growers, vegetable vendors, and farm labourers of Bihar. The goal of the foundation is to create opportunities - gainful and dignified self-employment - for the families dependent on agriculture sector, especially disadvantaged sections namely farmers, farm labourers, agriculture produce vendors and many others. This is a community that brings rice and dal to your home. And nobody cares for them. We ensure sustainable livelihood, enriched environment, improved quality of life and good human values for them.

Can you describe step-by-step the process of your work?

We have been working towards making the street vegetable vendors, your sabziwala and marginal growers more professional.  We also work towards empowering them to face future challenges in the new global economy, thus creating wealth and prosperity from 'farm-gate to food-plate' through undertaking the holistic view of vegetable supply chain under our project 'Samriddhii' We have formed some attractive partnerships between the farmers and vendors with a focus on shared interests and mutual growth. To maintain product integrity from the source to the customer, the organisation has established a totally integrated supply chain and services bundle which connects and maintains the flow of goods from the source (growers) to customer (road-side vendors, organized retailers, food services and hospitality industry). Key benefits of the model include waste reduction (quantity and time), shelf-life extension and cost reduction of agri-produce from hinterlands and upcountry sources to the markets.

We have public and private partnerships with Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA), Patna. We have been assisted financially through soft loan by Friends of Women World Banking (FWWB) Ahmedabad. Recently, Punjab National Bank (PNB) has sanctioned Rs. 50 Lakhs to our project. Approximately 1000 farmers are associated with us. We have our procurement network in two districts of Bihar namely Patna and Nalanda.

How much of your MBA knowledge do you practically use in your work? (Can you give some examples here?)

MBA knowledge has developed confidence in me. I have been using the concepts learnt at IIM-Ahmedabad in designing training modules, expansion strategies and overall development strategies of the work we are involved in. You know, MBA taught me to have a holistic approach to problems.

When and why did you decide to become a 'vegetable vendor'?

Marketing has been the biggest bottleneck for Indian farmers. They have never considered it as an integral part of their work. It would be impossible to think of their prosperity unless they have ability of marketing. To get first hand experience of vegetable selling and marketing, we decided to learn the menaces of vegetable sales and subsequently lessons learnt are being transferred to farmer members. I used to actually go with my father to the market and sell vegetables on a cart.

How did your parents, friends, and teachers react? Did you have to forgo a well-paying job to do this?

My family members were shocked to know that I am going to start my own organization. And that too in Patna, Bihar! Nevertheless, they did not try to persuade me to go for a job because they are aware of my nature that if I decide something, I will do only that. They have never interfered with my decisions since childhood. They always encouraged independent decision making. My elder brother Shri Dhirendra Kumar has left his job and is working as programme coordinator in our organisation.

Many of my professors from IIM-A are supporting us. Our mentor is Prof. Piyush Kumar Sinha, Chairman, Centre of Retailing, IIM-A. Under his continued guidance we have been able to take this so far. Many of my friends from IIM-A like Om Prakash Singh, Abhishek Kumar, Vaibhav, Vineeta Singh (from IIRM) and many others are continuously supporting us. They always provide their strategic input and sometimes financial inputs too. Their encouragements help me move ahead always.

Do you have a mission in this direction? If yes, what is it?

Our mission is to make Bihar the vegetable hub of the nation and to develop brand Bihar in vegetable sector.

Did you take any kind of training or special research to get into this kind of work?

No, I have not taken any special training. I am born and brought up in a village. My native district Nalanda is the largest producer of vegetables in Bihar. I have grown up here. I have seen their hardships. And I have seen the government’s apathy towards this community. They don’t care. Nobody cares.

Do you plan to do this all your life?

I am committed to the prosperity of Bihar. Most people make fun of the state. But well, they don’t know it’s potential.

Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20,1889. He was born in a village on the Bavarian frontier of Austria. All members of the Hitler family were peasants working the land of upper Austria near the border of Bohemia. As a civil servant of the Austrian Empire, Alois Hitler, Adolf’s father, was entitled to wear a uniform and exert high minor authority. Alois was the first within the family to improve his social status. Adolf and his father did not get along, as one would expect. They were not a good combination. Adolf wanted to study art to become and artist while his father wanted him to become a civil servant for the Austrian Empire as he did. Hitler’s father died in 1903, when Adolf was only 14 years old. With the death of his father, his problems would be solved. Clara Hitler, Adolf’s mother, supported her son. She permitted him to attend school in Linz and take art lessons. Adolf’s goal was to enter the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He then applied but then later found out he was refused. The Academy had written that his work was unsatisfactory and did not meet the standards. Soon afterwards he was also refused at the Technical Building School. In 1908, Clara Hitler died. Hitler was left without financial security or family. After his mother’s death, Hitler made his way back to Vienna where he stayed until 1913. He made a living by painting postcards of the mountains of the city and political opinions. The numberless ethnic groups that composed the old Austro-Hungarian Empire inhabited Vienna. It was also full of political controversy. Socialists, racialists, and nationalities of all kinds held constant conferences and published pamphlets. Hitler was desperately poor. He would live in a furnished room only when he managed to sell a few of his paintings. If he didn’t manage to sell, he often slept in flophouses maintained by the city or charitable institutions for the down-and-out. He hardly had enough to eat, he wore shabby clothes, and when his income was desperately low, he would take whatever job was available in constructive industry. In his autobiography Mein Kampf, which means “My Struggle”, Hitler maintains his basic political attitudes that were formed in Vienna. In Mein Kampf, Hitler writes of his pride of being a German. For Hitler, all men were not brothers: and of all peoples to whom Hitler refused as a brother were the Jews. The Jews were responsible for everything he disliked in art, politics, and social life. Hitler grew to hate the city of Vienna as well as the Austrian state. And in 1913, he moved to Munich, Germany. In 1914, World War One began and Adolf Hitler enlisted in the German Army. After serving for four years, Hitler made his way back to Munich, Germany. When he arrived, Munich was different. He saw and heard Communists, Nationalists, Bavarian Separatists, and Socialists all making use of the newly granted freedoms of speech and press. In 1919, Hitler got a job in the army as a political training official. Here he came in contact with the general in command in Bavaria, Major General Ritter von Epp, later to become Hitler’s regent in Bavaria; and with Captain Ernst Röhm, one of the most important figures of the Nazi days. In September of 1919, Hitler was told to join and report on a meeting of a new group called The German Workers Party. Hitler arose on his first meeting and delivered himself on the theme of German Unity. The leaders of the group were impressed with his speech and invited him to every meeting. Soon afterward, Hitler quit his job at the army and devoted himself to the party full time. In 1920 the party was renamed the Nationalist Socialist German Worker's Party (Nazi) issued its twenty-five point program. The Nazi Party was successful because of millions of new members and supporters. The Nazi Party in Germany was not the only National Socialist organization in Europe. The Austro-Germans and the Sudeten-Germans had similar organizations. The Nazi Party however had more fame and strength. Hitler was then the leader of the Party by 1922. The other members felt they couldn't be without him and that is why the hall was full when the Nazi Party held a rally. Even after Hitler became dictator, he felt his power was not secure. Hitler decided that it was necessary to purge the SA, along with other political opponents and rivals. The process began on June 30, 1934.

If Adolf Hitler Died at 1936?

The Second World War changed the landscape of human life on Earth. In January of 1933, the ailing German leader Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler as the Chancellor of Germany. Paul von Hindenburg passed various legislative acts that suspended German civil liberties and gave Hitler administrative control over the entire country. In 1933, the era of Nazi Germany began and Hitler laid out plans for world conquest. Adolf Hitler was a master of deception and media propaganda. In 1934, he began to display the message “One people, One Germany, One Führer.” Hitler made sure to trick foreign powers into thinking that Germany was a safe place to live. In fact, Adolf Hitler was named the U.S. Time Magazine person of the year in 1938.

During this time in German history, Adolf Hitler took control over the youth. He passed laws that forced German teachers to use Nazi propaganda. German children were taught to despise Jewish people and to show all loyalty to the Third Reich. He organized a program called Hitler’s Youth, which recruited all kids over the age of nine years. Between the years 1936-1938, over 8 million German children took part in Hitler’s Youth oath of allegiance. In 1935, Hitler passed the first laws against the Jewish population. He ordered that all Jewish people were no longer German citizens. Marriage and sexual intercourse between Germans and Jews was outlawed. At this time, Hitler pushed thousands of white Arian German women into pregnancy. He demanded that teenage girls attend Nuremberg rally camps, where they had sexual intercourse with boys and became pregnant. In 1936, nine hundred girls came home from the Nuremberg rally pregnant. Unwed mothers were knows as the Führer’s brides.

In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria under Nazi rule. This was accomplished because Mussolini’s Fascist Italy made an alliance with the Third Reich and no longer was protecting Austria. Many people welcomed Hitler into Austria, but within days of the move, 70,000 Austrians were sent to concentration camps. During the Second World War German armies occupied most of Europe. Nazi forces defeated France, took Norway, invaded Yugoslavia and Greece and occupied much of the European portion of the Soviet Union. Germany also forged alliances with Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and, later, Finland, and collaborated with individuals in several other nations.

Hitler’s decision to launch Operation Barbarossa and attack the Soviet Union turned the tide of war. Had Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin remained in alliance how would your life be different today? Would the United States nuclear technology have been used in the European Theatre of World War II? How much influence could one man, Adolf Hitler, really have on the rise of the Third Reich in Germany? All of these questions should be considered when examining your ancestry and this dark time in human history.

Photo of Huge (55ft) snake shocks World & Scares Man to Death

A photograph purporting to show a 55ft snake found in a forest in China has become an internet sensation.

It was originally posted in a thread on the website of the People’s Daily, the official Communist Party newspaper in China.

The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road outside Guping city, Jiangxi province.

They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth.

“On the third dig, the operator found there was blood amongst the soil, and with a further dig, a dying snake appeared,” said the post.

“At the same time, another gold coloured giant boa appeared with its mouth wide open. The driver was paralysed with fear, while the other workers ran for their lives.

“By the time the workers came back, the wounded boa had died, while the other snake had disappeared. The bulldozer operator was so sick that he couldn’t even stand up.”

The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to hospital and later died.

The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post.

However, local government officials in Guiping say the story and photograph are almost certainly a hoax as giant boas are not native to the area.Via : peopledaily.com

Short Biography of Anna Hazare – Story of Army Driver becoming the Father of Nation Bigger than Bharat Ratna

Name - Kisan Bapat Baburao Hazare known as Anna Hazare

Birth date - 15 January 1940

Anna Hazare was born in Bhingar village in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state in western India to Baburao Hazare and Laxmi Bai, an unskilled labourer family
He was raised by his childless aunt in Mumbai but could not continue beyond VII standard and had to quit midway due to problems.
He has two sisters.


He is unmarried.

1963
Anna Hazare started his career as a driver in the Indian Army.
During his 15-year tenure as a soldier, he was posted to several states like Sikkim, Bhutan, Jammu-Kashmir, Assam, Mizoram, Leh and Ladakh and braved challenging weathers.

Anna was greatly influenced by Swami Vivekananda’s teachings.

In the year 1965, Pakistan attacked India and at that time, Hazare was posted at the Khemkaran border. On November 12, 1965, Pakistan launched air attacks on Indian base and all of Hazare’s comrades became martyrs

In 1978, he took voluntary retirement from the 9th Maratha Battalion

After serving 15 Years in Army Anna took the voluntary retirement and returned to his native place in Ralegan Siddhi, in the Parner tehsil of Ahmednagar district.

Ralegan Siddhi falls in the drought-prone area with a mere 400 to 500 mm of annual rainfall.
There were no weirs to retain rainwater.
During the month of April and May, water tankers were the only means of drinking water.
Almost 80 per cent of the villagers were dependent on other villages for food grains. Residents used to walk for more than four to six kilometers in search of work

Hazare came across the work of one Vilasrao Salunke, a resident of Saswad near Pune who had started a novel project of water management through watershed development in a joint venture with the Gram Panchyat. Hazare visited the project and decided to implement it in Ralegan Siddhi.

He steered the villagers to begin working towards water conservation.
At the outset, they completed 48 Nala Bunding work, contour trenches, staggered trenches, gully plugs, meadows development and of forestation of 500 hectares of land. Thereafter, they constructed five RCC weirs and 16 Gabion Weirs.

This resulted in increase in the ground water level.

Hazare’s Ralegan Siddhi became the first role model of an ideal village from the worst village to an ideal village.

Anna rightly thought that Development is marred by corruption and started a new venture in 1991 called Bhrashtachar Virodhi Jan Aandolan (BVJA) or public movement against corruption.
It was found that some 42 forest officers had duped the state government for crores of rupees through corruption in confederacy.
Hazare submitted the evidences to the government but the latter was reluctant to take action against all these officers as one of the ministers of the ruling party was involved in the scam.

A distressed Hazare returned the Padmashree Award to the President of India and also returned the Vriksha Mitra Award given by then prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi.

He further went on an indefinite hunger strike in Alandi on the same issue.
Finally, the government woke up and took action against the criminal and corrupt officers as well as six of the ministers were forced to resign and more than 400 officers from different government offices were sent back to home.

In 1995 Shiv Sena-BJP government came to power in the state
Hazare raised the issue of alleged massive land purchase by Gholap's wife Shashikala in Nashik between April to September 1996.
He forwarded the available documentary evidences in support of his allegations to then Maharashtra Governor P. C. Alexander
On 4 November 1997, Gholap filed a defamation suit against Hazare for accusing him of corruption.
On 9 September 1998, Anna Hazare was imprisoned in the Yerawada Jail after being sentenced to simple imprisonment for three months by the Mumbai Metropolitan Court all political parties, every one from Maharashtra except the BJP and the Shiv Sena came in support of him
Later due to public protest, outcry the Government of Maharashtra ordered his release from the jail.

The state government has opened cooperative societies, credit societies & urban banks everywhere in states.
However, the directors of such societies do the corruption and failed to pay back the basic amount to the members of the societies.
Thus poor people get cheated when Anna saw this he again began his agitation against this.

Hazare agitated for over eight months.
The result was that more than Rs 125 crore was recovered from defaulters and the members of such societies heaved a sigh of relief.
Recovery of around Rs. 400 crores is in the pipeline.

After this Anna started to fight for the Right to information act.
Government ignored Anna.
In 1997 Anna agitated in Azad Maidan in Mumbai to create mass public awareness about RTI amongst the youth.
Anna started to travel across state.

Government promised Anna they will pass RTI act but in reality they never did it.
For this Anna agitated ten times for this law.

When Anna saw that Government is not willing to pass this law Anna went on an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan in the last week of July 2003.

After 12 days of Hunger strike in Azad Maidan the President of India signed the draft of the Right to Information Act and ordered the state government to implement it with effect from 2002. The same draft was considered as the base document for the making of the National Right to Information Act-2005.

In 2003 Anna Hazare raised corruption charges against 4 ministers of the Congress-NCP government
Government ignored him
Then Anna started his fast unto death agitation on 9 August 2003.
He ended his fast on 17 August 2003 after then chief minister Sushil Kumar Shinde formed a one man commission, headed by the retired justice P. B. Sawant to probe his charges.
The P. B. Sawant commission report was submitted on 23 February 2005, indicted Suresh Jain, Nawab Malik and Padmasinh Patil.
Suresh Jain and Nawab Malik resigned from the cabinet in March 2005

Santosh Hegde, a former justice of the Supreme Court of India and Lokayukta of Karnataka, Prashant Bhushan, a senior lawyer in the Supreme Court along with the members of the India against Corruption movement drafted an alternate bill, named as the Jan Lokpal Bill (People's Ombudsman Bill) with more stringent provisions and wider power to the Lokpal (Ombudsman)


On April 5 2011 Again Anna started second freedom struggle in India.
Anna wrote to everyone regarding Jan Lok Pal bill but no one listened him
After that on 5th April 2011 Started fast unto death to wake up the government for India.
Anna started war against corruption in India.
Hazare has started a fast unto death from 5 April 2011 at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, to press for the demand to form a joint committee of the representatives of the Government and the civil society to draft a new bill with stronger penal actions and more independence to the Lokpal and Lokayuktas (Ombudsmen in the states)

In beginning Government of India ignored him, many people said many things, but as First day was over Anna got the support from every corner of India and
No one has expected such a support Anna will get for this bill.

Over night table were turned and after 4 days of discussion with government of India servants .
Finally Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh realized that demand of Anna is right and government accepted all the demands of Anna.
Thus Jantar Mantar saved from becoming another Tahir Square.

Dnt neglect to read my articles..!!!!!!

Plz read stories with interest.

 These stories are called Eponyms.

They will be very easy to remember ....!!!!!!!!

All the best buddies

The story of a young Greek boy who fell in love with his own reflection.

When Zeus came to the mountains, the wood nymphs rushed to embrace the jovial god.  They played with him in icy waterfalls and laughed with him in lush green glades.
Zeus’ wife, Hera, was very jealous, and often she searched the mountainside, trying to catch her husband with the nymphs.  But whenever Hera came close to finding Zeus, a charming nymph named Echo stepped across her path.  Echo chatted with Hera in a lively fashion and did whatever she could to stall the goddess until Zeus and the other nymphs had escaped.
Eventually Hera discovered that Echo had been tricking her, and she flew into a rage.  “Your tongue has made a fool of me!” she shouted at Echo.  “Henceforth, your voice will be more brief, my dear!  You will always have the last  word - but never the first.
From that day on, poor Echo could only repeat the last words of what others said.
One day Echo spied a golden-haired youth hunting deer in the woods.  The boy’s name was Narcissus, and he was the most beautiful young man in the forest.  All who looked upon Narcissus fell in love with him immediately.  But he would have nothing to do with anyone, for he was very conceited.
When Echo first laid eyes upon Narcissus, her heart burned like the flame of a torch.  She secretly followed him through the woods, loving him more with each step.  She got closer and closer until finally Narcissus heard the leaves rustling.  He whirled around and cried out, “Who’s here?”
From behind a tree, Echo repeated his last word, “Here!”
Narcissus looked about in wonder, “Who are you?  Come to me!” he said.
Narcissus searched the woods, but could not find the nymph.  “Stop hiding!  Let us meet!” he shouted.
“Let us meet!” Echo cried.  Then she stepped from behind the tree and rushed to embrace Narcissus.
But the youth panicked when the nymph flung her arms around his neck.  He pushed her away and shouted, “Leave me alone!  I’d rather die than let you love me!”
“Love me!” was all poor Echo could say as she watched Narcissus run from her through the woods.  “Love me!  Love me!  Love me!”
Humiliated and filled with sorrow, Echo wandered the mountains until she found a lonely cave to live in.
Meanwhile Narcissus hunted in the woods, tending only to himself, until one day he discovered a hidden pool of water.  The pool had a silvery-smooth surface.  No shepherds ever disturbed its waters - no goats or cattle, no birds or fallen leaves.  Only the sun danced upon the still pond.
Tired from hunting and eager to quench his thirst, Narcissus lay on his stomach and leaned over the water.  But when he looked at the glassy surface, he saw someone staring back at him.
Narcissus was spellbound.  Gazing up at him from the pool were eyes like twin stars, framed by hair as golden as Apollo’s and cheeks as smooth as ivory.  But when he leaned down and tried to kiss the perfect lips, he kissed only spring water.  When he reached out and tried to embrace this vision of beauty, he found no one there.
“What love could be more cruel than this?” he cried.  “When my lips kiss the beloved, they touch only water!  When I reach for my beloved, I hold only water!”
Narcissus began to weep.  When he wiped away his tears, the person in the water also wiped away tears.  “Oh, no,” sobbed Narcissus.  “I see the truth now;  It is myself   I weep for!  I yearn for my own reflection!”
As Narcissus cried harder, the tears broke the glassy surface of the pool and caused his reflection to disappear.  “Come back!  Where did you go?” the youth cried.  “I love you so much!  At least stay and let me look upon you!”
Day after day, Narcissus stared at the water, in love with his own reflection.  He began to waste away from grief, until one sad morning, he felt himself dying.  “Good-bye, my love!” he shouted to his reflection.
“Good-bye, my love!” Echo cried to Narcissus from her cave deep in the woods.
Then Narcissus took his last breath.
After he died, the water nymphs and wood nymphs searched for his body.  But all they found was a magnificently beautiful flower beside the hidden pool where the youth had once yearned for his own reflection.  The flower had white petals and a yellow center, and from that time on, it was called Narcissus.
And alas, poor Echo, desolate after Narcissus’s death, did not eat or sleep.  AS she lay forlornly in her cave, all her beauty faded away, and she became very thin until her voice was all that was left.  Thereafter, the lonely voice of Echo was heard in the mountains, repeating the last words anyone said.
