"Bihar Anjuman: Bringing about a paradigm shift in managing Organizations", Bihar Anjuman’s presentation at IMEFNA (Chicago, USA) "Excellence in Education" seminar in Hyderabad, 13th February 2011: IMEFNA, a leading US based Indian Muslim welfare organization invited Bihar Anjuman to share its experience of educationally empowering the Muslims of Bihar and Jharkhand. This seminar, which was attended by more than 275 delegates, provided an excellent opportunity for the dominantly Hyderabad-based Muslim intelligentsia to learn from us why a paradigm shift is necessary and how it can be achieved. The 20 page coloured brochure of Bihar Anjuman, printed by Delhi chapter, was also distributed to the guests.

After briefing about projects of Bihar Anjuman, the dynamic business model of Bihar Anjuman was explained – how latest communication technology connects all the elements of BA, empowers chapters and individuals willing to turn their thoughts, ideas, or plans into viable projects. It was then explained that this removing of bureaucratic shackles enables the shift from a paradigm of control and chains-of-command to a paradigm of innovation in which talents can bloom freely, empowered through 100% freedom.

The powerpoint presentation ended with a 2 minute video that inspires people to join hands for a cause, which can lead to successful outcomes for even a seemingly impossible task, rather than wait for someone else (e.g., the govt) to take an initiative. The presentation was received very well and left an excellent impact on the audience.

Terminated: Manager appointed for Bihar Anjuman’s 1st office in Patna is shown the red card, in his 2nd month of service. The search is now on, once again, to find an efficient person to manage the affairs of Bihar Anjuman, with special focus on managing the coaching centres of Bihar and Jharkhand which involves travelling throughout the twin states. He will be paid a monthly salary of Rs. 6,000 plus T.A. (actual travelling expenses) plus Rs. 100 per day of travel to cover for food and living expenses. Total payments to the manager would not exceed Rs. 10,000 per month – this amount is sponsored by a Mumbai-based trading organization which is sponsoring the RAHBAR Coaching Centre, Patna (salary of 3 teachers, each getting Rs. 3,000 per month, direct from sponsor). Members are requested to help this quest for a manager who is diligent and honest. This task is very urgent, now, because we have to undertake massive preparations (which must be completed by 15th April) to get Bihar Anjuman’s first ITI approved.
