SILCHAR !!!! NOW AND BEFORE
«on: 08/03/03 at 15:59:51 »

hello frends its me back again
well my frends it is time to be honest and share my views about my hometown silchar....well as we know from our ancestors about the pride of our town and its rich heritage....Our city is more tha a decade old...and we are the proud residents of silchar....well as we know that india comes under the underdeveloped nations in this world...and so also we have considered the fact as an underdeveloped town.....i m born and brought up in silchar and i m 23 yrs old and i see no change in our lives.....why is that other places like guwahati shillong kolkata is changing day by day and we are still way behind... whenever any one of us goes to north east his visit seems to be great but whenever the moment silchar arises a deep frown comes in his face...we people have developed ourselves in producing the best brains through engeneering colleges and good schools....and even our parents were also aware about our studies so much...but the fact is that every one tells that there is no scope in silchar nothing in there in silchar....then what is use of our education if we cannot use them in creating silchar a better place to live in....the roads where cars and vehicles are increasing day by day and roads are getting narowwer day abt day....the time wont be far when we wont have any thing in our place..even the remains of our place will become extinct.... the roads in central road, nazirpatty where there is a traffic jam almost day by day....we guys often get angry when we are in the road driving our vehicles but as soon when we get back home we forget everything..I wont be a happy person if other people tells something bad about my place it will not only hurt me but it will make me accept the fact that my fellow silcharites are doing nothing for there place...So my frends wake up and do something good for your place.....so that the future generations will be happier than us......I know what i am speaking will be really hard to achieve....but i believe in this saying "LITTLE DROPS OF WATER WILL MAKE AN OCEAN" and so also we can also make it...

thank you

Silchar has its own specific characteristics which affect how they evolve through times of success and failure. Many factors of change that influence how silchar evolves is beyond its control. Such factors include: the steady growth in unstable population in no relation to national economic activity; the rise of transport and communication chaos; the increase in personal, economic, and financial mobility; and, the juxataposing of technological and cultural changes from other system...

Dear a_arnie,
I am glad to see such a pain coming from yr heart for cause of yr “land”. Particularly considering yr young age, when u should be immersed in fun and dream. Somebody advised u to start. Why not? Help will come to u if u r determined, sincere to yr purpose, honest to yourself and ready for dedicated hard work. ( In which case nobody can stop you) .The result will come after a long time , certainly not during my life time, and probably during yr next generation. But u seems to know it and prepared for it, good, kudos to U. Now I am giving you two suggestions. Just think it over.

1 st SUGGESTION: You might have noticed that people from different walks of life, who have, for some reasons, a soft corner for Silchar, are coming together, exchanging ideas and sharing experiences. This is very good thing to happen for Silchar as a whole, courtesy web site silchar.com . However, compare to population and particularly outside Silchar, today hardly anybody knows it’s existence. Premasish has started it but he alone cannot sustain the load. You need to help silchar.com for its expansion. You need not pay money, only technical help, running around, meeting people and the like. Also somebody staying at Silchar and willing to co-operate will be of immense help to silchar.com and in tern serve your .More people coming in contact with each other will do good to Silchar. Many people will love to help you for such a nice cause but they don’t know where you are and vice-versa.

2 nd SUGGESTION : This is much more complicated than the first one but if you can make it happen with the help of some like minded people then geography of Silchar will change. I am thinking of starting call centers in Silchar itself. The cost of running a office in USA or UK is 6 times that of running the same call center in B’lore, Chennai or any big city in India. Similarly running a call center in Silchar will be 2 to 3 times cheaper than any big city in India. The same hard working boys & girls who are working in far out cities can do the same job living in their home town . The seniors with experience can shift to Silchar and run the show while enjoying local food, culture, friends. However to make it work, tons and tons of homework has to be done. R U ready ? Not only call centers of MNC’s, now a days any computer work can be done at any convenient place and thanks to improved communication network, it can be transmitted to anywhere in the world .Certainly only this will not solve all the problems of Silchar but let us see what others think about my idea. USA & UK and other countries will out source additional millions of $ to India in coming 3 to 4 years . This is right time to put Silchar on the IT map, to say the least. However please remember that I don’t have a ready-made solutions.

mr chakravarty...

i m glad that someone responded to my sweet column....well i really encourage yr suggestions....and i also support ur views regarding making Silchar a base for the IT industry...u see my frends who work in several call centers in New Delhi...and this industry is based upon a link between IT and the communication skills of the employees...so what plans u got in yr mind....i aint sure of it...well my target is basically upon the roads which we people need to change it...u should have seen the increasing number of vehicles growing day by day and messing up with the traffic conditions...since our company is into constructions so i can handle this part better provided we get some co-operation from the local people...
one more thing my frend no body did really urge me to write off this freakin column...its only me who felt the desire to write it off..

well one more thing i like the words u wrote off..."I have no ready made solutions" . i m in no pain cuz my life will end up in a matter of 30 to 40 years....so basically i m making the people understand the pain they are abt to face in the future if they aint sure abt it.

thank u

Dear a_aine,
Thanks. Nice to know that you work with road construction.com. Woh! As per Prime Minister, NHDP will construct 24000 km of road @ 11 km/day. In the first stride of 14000 km of world class 4/6 lane highway, Silchar will be connected with Porbandar under East-West corridor. From Silchar to Dobaka to Jorbat to Guwahati and then westwards up to Porbandar. You must be terribly busy. Lots of money also will pour in. Regarding putting Silchar on IT map, no easy task, I am waiting for others to give valuable suggestions to my wild idea. You will be definitely alive long enough to see a prosperous Silchar. I pray for your healthy, happy and long life. Happy Kali-Puja. to all of you.

hello mr chakravarty....
its good to see u again.....well mr chakravarty ur plans regarding setting up a call center in silchar is indeed well....but i got some thing to tell u .....call center is a communication industry .....so definitely need the best people in this business....do u think that the people over in here can match up with the size and efficiency with the employees of GE capital and Daksh...are u going to give them all the training like other call centers....i want to know

«on: 10/30/03 at 12:05:39 »

Dear Anirban, Hello how are you?
Thanks for reply. My idea is based on three things. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1st There are enough talents available in Silchar who will love to stay at Silchar and work for less pay than staying at other big ( hostile at the same time lovely ) cities. Since they are surviving the competition in any case, they are “best people in this business “. 2nd. Cost of running a office (call center or other IT Enable services ) at Silchar is 3 to 4 times less than metropolis. 3rd. Under the present global depression, India will get lots of work from outsourcing by, mainly USA & UK based companies ( to reduce cost, what else ?), in coming years and the present big IT companies in INDIA will look for cost reduction in view of fierce competition.
However, lots of home work is required. I am waiting for others to see this page and correct me and / or give valuable suggestions. My idea is like this: Immediately no big company like GE etc .will have confidence on Silchar office. In fact, to start with Silchar office will be a “ parasite call center “ for the so called call centers situated in big cities. Since for any big IT company, expanding in big cities is expensive, it may be cost effective to open a subsidy / branch office / mini call center at Silchar where good quality job can be achieved at cheaper rate. So the persons from Silchar region, who are now working in big IT companies for say, 3 to 8 years, can convince their management to open such branch office at Silchar so that they themselves can head the office and manage the show initially and reduce the overall expenses. These persons will be the key persons to start it and it will benefit them individually as well as Silchar will be improving.. As for training part, the fresh & new incumbents will go to head office for initial training for couple of months and subsequently they will be working at Silchar and visit head office / abroad on specific missions. For infrastructure, somebody should survey the availability and cost of office space, BSNL or other lease lines for server and come up with concrete proposals to their management. I am waiting for knowledgeable people in this field to either call me crazy or take active part in realizing this goal. You & me alone cannot do it. I am only a dreamer. You can propagate this idea to others known to you in this field and give me a feedback. Initial hurdles are there for any big job. PLEASE don’t loose heart.
Enjoy & Have nice times.

Hi Mr Shankar ,
You have a fair good idea....but do tell me what do you want to convert Silchar to ? a jaabra place like Gurgaon ? where young boys/girls are frisked in company sponsored vehicles to to talk pseudo good english for 11 hrs/day. Arre yaar, we have a peaceful and good life in Silchar. Why are u bent upon destroying our peace. True, many jobs would be generated, but is it not a job with hollow future. What will happen is right from school, the boys/girls of my dear Silchar will concentrate on english and nothing else so that they may be absorbed in call centres. This will result in english speaking employees at cheap cost who will be made to toil like coolies.You do not stay in Silchar, so you won't feel the transition in educational/moral values that will take place.
Feel free to contact me ( u can get the id from admin ) if you feel further discussion is required.

N.B : If at all you want to start the venture, I can offer you technical help ( if you wish ).

So, you are that dumb ass who started the topic "Why shyleti girls speak kelu". Why don'y you concentrate on more such stupid topic like that?
It is quite nice to lecture others while sitting outside silchar. Problably the result this thread will be nothing. But I am touched that atleast there are Silcharites who dream of converting Silchar into a vibrant economy. When the whole india is moving forward, our district is moving backwards. In fact some districts of Assam are showing some grownth. But not ours. If you look at the development statistics it really makes you sad. Then you come across some retards who blabbers with terms like "pseudo good english"? What the hell does that mean?

I totaly agree to what "Confused' has to say. It is because a number of us have spent our childhood days in Silchar, some feel that Silchar in its present form and future trend is far from the concept of a healthy developement. There are certain areas which particularly need immediate attention.
1. Degradation in respect for dignity of labor.
2. Total indiference of localities in the developement activities performed by government offices.

Dear “Confused”, Hello how are you ?
Thank u very much for expressing yr. sentiment toward this idea. Regarding yr. strong resentment for Debojit Ghose’s remarks, I had seen his posting before your reaction but I didn’t answer because of three reasons. 1. He isn’t particularly against anybody. It is more of an impulse reaction rather than thoughtful comment . In fact, I feel he is right in thinking that the youth of Silchar are still more honest and having deep moral values than so called metropolitans. With that concern he must have assumed that the boys & girls of Silchar will loose the innocence and ethical values when exposed to so called offices. But it is not so. The value has come to them through years and generations of good environment and family tradition. As you told correctly, by denying economic growth you can’t boost morale. And what he meant by “"pseudo good english “ is probably the slang foul languages and American accent which is considered ‘ a-must’ in these society. 2. He has rated my wild idea as “fairly good”, and he being “insider” of this trade , I feel we are moving toward right direction. 3. Please notice his beautiful ending. He has offered his technical help! That’s nice, no? And we need tons of help even in the form of criticism. I hope you will understand me. Good Bye for now but pl. post yr. valuable comments generously. Because everybody’s opinions are important to me.

Dear Debojit Ghose , Thanks for yr. post. Couple of days back I read in media under heading “ IT Trends” the article “ The ` next big thing` in wireless broadband”. This is a report from the last week’s Intel Developer Forum, which saw the Indian demo of Wi-MAN technology. The article starts like this: “ Imagine having at your beck and call, a communication system that has the speed and long-haul resilience of the ‘ T-1’ leased line, economy of the Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line ( ADSL), the robustness of the cable modem and the ‘ unwired’ accessibility of Wireless LAN (WLAN) otherwise known as 802.11b?
The contours of a new technology, that could soon be used to wirelesssly deliver high speed Internet access to homes and businesses, that are served by telephone lines or fibre optic cables, have been sketched out . The technology is called Wireless MAN (Wi-MAN)-broadband wireless for Metropolitan Area Networks .Earlier this year, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE), promulgated a new broadcasting standard for the technology-IEEE 802.16. …………………………. Earlier this month it was dubbed” the most promising technology of 2003” at the Technology Awards of CNET, the web IT source. Unlike Wi-Fi which is meant to provide Internet connectivity wirelessly over a distance of around 100 meters, Wi-MAN works up to 50 km. …………………….However while the Wi-Fi band is licensed, Wi-MAN will use both licensed and unlicensed frequencies within the overall band. …………..“

Now I need your help to understand this in lay man’s language. First of all, can this Wi-MAN be used at Silchar? What interests me is this “50 km wireless capacity”, so that a station at Silchar will cater to a distance of 50 km covering probably all important places in that region which may not be connected by telephone wires or fibre optic cables. Will it be cost effective? Since Unlicensed option is also available it may be more appropriate for our immediate use, as getting govt. approval may be difficult for that region.
Your comments will be appreciated, please use simple lay man’s language and simple English considering my poor English and poorer technical knowledge. Thanks.

Through this open page I request other interested persons also to comment generously on anything related to this.

Hi Shankar Da,
Accept my appologies if I have offended you by posting my comments on your idea.Secondly, I am much happy to know that people (some) of Silchar are still of high thinking and understanding as I knew of in my childhood.You read me right; there's no wrong in your intentions for the development of Silchar - my opinion is my own, it maynot necessarily be right, but I strongly believe that call centres are not good places to work in.Again I emphasize, the opinion is my own.
Regarding the technology you are talking of, the thing needs some morte indepth introspection. For now, no player in India would want to stake so high an investment in North East. Another thing , your motivation has moved me.I shall be honoured to be a part of your team.We can start making a system integration plan to check the feasibility of the project.
In between all these,if you allow me , I would make a small statement to confused - You are confused, are you ? Great ! you are destined to be so. Are you confused about your name too? Good !!!!!
Dear Shankar da ,
Although I disagree with you on the ethical/moral consequence of call centre culture, I am with you on the technical front.
Thanks & Regds
Debojit

Good one debojyoti. Try to repair the damage by sucking. Now there is an ethical twist to call center too. Pretentious, pseudo (damn! I love this word or what!) intellectuals like you give all Bengalies a bad name. But I am impressed that you are ready to work. But I will tell you what, if you believe in something, if you are motivated enough for a cause, it is easier to work for it. We all give lip service to lot of things I guess it is your turn. All great ideas are conceived in the mind of one person. If someone is trying to conceptualise an idea, that has the pontential bring economic boon to silchar than why not support it? I am impressed that Shankar is thinking about something. Remember that all great human achievements seemed to be a joke in the beginning. Had you told somebody in 1900 ( even in 1960s ) that man would fly to the moon, they would have laughed at you. Read Shankars last post. His proposal does not seem that distant. Does it? Something that is possible if there is proper support. People in technically advanced countries have not lost their innocence totally. I have met many nice and innocent prople in western world. Last but not the least, don't worry about my pseudonym ( damn! again ) concentrate more on the argument supported in post. "A stitch in time would have confused Einstein"

Shankar, good luck to you.

Dear “ Confused”,
Thanks for understanding me. And many thanks for wishing me good luck, I need that much more than anything else. BTW, I didn’t understand your “gr8” “gr8” lecture fully, but I want to assert one thing, in case you are confused. I am NOT a great person. Very very ordinary type, having achieved nothing important in life, a small insignificant bubble floating in the sweet river named Barak, ready to collapse any time. Please believe me if my wild idea ever sees the light of the day, and do any good to anybody anywhere, that will be purely and entirely because of the unstinted help and generous good wishes from you people. From time to time please do peep in to this page and give comments . Thank Q .
PS: I don’t mind your pseudonym but don’t feel like addressing a gentleman like you as ‘Confused”. What a confusion !!

Shankar babu,

Who ever you are, you are, you are definitely a very modest person. Success and failure are relative terms. Van Gogh never sold a picture in his life time. Today his paintings are sold in millions of dollars! What would you say about that? Success or failure? Don't worry about the wild ideas. Bill Gate's idea to sell computer to every house hold was a wild idea. So was the idea of Edison to light the electric bulb. Post your ideas in this forum, I shall definitely try to help you if it is within my capabilities.

Dear Anirban,
Glad to hear from u. If I am getting good response, the credit goes to U dear ! Bcoz you have started this sweet thread. And big credit goes to Premasish Deb who started the web site. I am not hearing from him for a long time : must be busy with life. About yr. suggestion on meeting, we are “e-meeting”. This e-meeting is wonderful and more effective.. If I meet ten people at a place only ten persons will hear me. If I post something here, ten thousand persons will be able to read that. Isn’t it gr8 ? A face to face meeting will be useful when this project will take some practical shape, then the discussions will be focused on specific problem(s). Now I need more opinions / suggestions from persons who care for Silchar, spread all over the world.
How is yr. work going on ? BTW, I have gone thru “goldn momnts fm Half long, Silchar ………”.. (MAIN ROOM), started by Krishanu Bhattacharjee. Both Krishanu and Raghu had beautifully described the NE landscape. They are gifted no doubt for their poetic sense.( I envy them). But when it comes to Silchar there is a general agreement that roads are horrible. You have also indicated the same thing. Municipality has enough fund no doubt, only strong public opinion has to be generated to divert fund towards road dev. Wish you good luck.

Dear Mr. Confused,
Due to my poor eye sight, I could read only the last line. Thanks again.

No tree lives forever - in Silchar they die from weather damage, disease, floods, construction effects, and other causes. However, we believe that with proper care any tree, planted in a soil that meets its needs, situated where it will have room to flourish and attain its finest stature, can be a "good tree." We hope that residents and visitors will appreciate the diversity of trees for silchar, will strive to learn more about them, and will support good management of public trees in silchar.....

Dear All,
I have visited the following sites.

http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/news/article.php/1577591

http://www.intel.co.in/update/contents/st08031.htm

It appears that the WiMAN wireless broadband is the right alternate. Use frequency range 2-11 GHz, opt for unlicensed version to avoid bureaucracy. Since nonline-of-sight is possible, there can be hundreds of small offices/houses scattered within a radius of <50 km and not connected by wire/fibre cable. The base office also need not be a high-rise sophisticated IT Park. A rented two/three storied building with roof top antenna will be sufficient. So the initial investment will be extremely small. On top of that, in case this fails (I am sure it will never fail), the entire hardware can be taken back by the investing company and put to use in other city. Such reduce risk factor will certainly attract many players. Already TCS plans to invest Rs 350 Crores this year in India. Wipro plans to expand a total 20 acres near Salt Lake, Kolkata's IT hub. Wipro Spectramind's fourth center would be in Kolkata, GE Capital had in principle decided to set up a center in Kolkata. Interestingly (BTW it was a news to me also), there is a three year old, Bangalore based contact center, Customer First Services, thriving on domestic BPO." Not many people have an idea about the immense business potential in domestic BPO", says Sandip Sen, CEO of customer First. "We are looking at becoming a Rs. 100 crore company in the next three years," says Mr. Sen. "We will have a strength of 1000 agents by the end of this year and expected to be 3500 strong by the end of 2006.....".So the potential is very great, if only our people ( experienced as well as fresh boys & girls) are ready to put sincere hard work, sky is the limit.
As per Intel, the Wiman will be commercially available only in 1st qtr of 2004. That gives us 6 months time for ground work. People who are already working in this area now have to take the lead and convince the management to look into this cost effective alternate, giving more technical details and approx. cost figure and expected return. Because of geographical location and political cloud, Silchar region is not correctly known to outsiders. So we have to break the ice. Don't delay, pick up the ice-axe and Bang! Bang! Bang!. Pleas don't take my words for granted. Check for yourself independently and also, being in the business, dig more relevant information so that you pass through highest scrutiny by prospective investor(s).Please don't hesitate to criticize me or point out my mistake. I shall be only grateful to you.

Dear Anirban, Thanks for yr. post. My experience is on equipment design as per international pressure vessel codes, running pilot plant to do research on coal gasification.

Dear Confusion-bhai, Thanks. Please accept a bear hug from your brother. I am waiting for your valuable comments.

Dear Kautilya,
Thanks 4 yr. feedback. I am glad to know that u r watching this thread. U know what? I was expecting such a reply from mathagaram. U know him? I don’t know what people think abt him but I sort of like him. Like u, he also follow a thread for some day and when he notices enough bullshitting, he enters the field with an atom bomb. And what strong language! I almost feel it in my skin. Only once he lost his temper but immediately and sportingly he came back on track. So u r welcome here and pliz. warn us whenever we are deviating. Leg pulling was never our intention. Sometimes could be misunderstanding or lack of understanding. I am still waiting for a clear cut answer from knowledgeable people: is it possible to use IEEE 802.16a only to start a small call center, or we have to essentially go for IEEE 800.11?

The young generation just wants to leave Silchar, the talents have no future here and Silchar is not at all a place for people who are ambitious.And Assam University losing its name as a Central University before it could earn any prestigious position. Not only the municipality we have to blame on, for many more things , other than bad roads and clogged sewage system, there are many loop holes.And we can't complain,as we know"shorsher moddhye bhoot".Our future generation is not going to live here becoz of many reasons...

As we are from Barak Valley, we can't shake the responsibility off our shoulder, but how can we do something for the betterment of our valley which will not land up as politics only.

Dear Brishti,
Thank you for your post. I agree with you that there is job scarcity here and youngsters are leaving for new posture. Like you and me, many people have soft corner for Barak Valley and it is my humble try to marshal all the efforts towards building a prosperous Barak Valley taking advantage of billion dollar BPO. There will be hurdle, and politics is everywhere, but let us “break the rule”. Interestingly this MANTRA is given by your guru as well as my guru. I am referring to Ad Asia 2003 at Jaipur where the golden “rule “ is to break the rule. There Mr. Amitabh Bachchan ( my most favorite hero) admitted that he himself had broken several rules. The Big B also advised us to feel the people’s pulse. Regarding people’s choice please note that the “Addabaz” is already so thrilled with the prospect that she can stay in home town and do a good job of her choice ! Being a woman and working thousand miles away you can advice young girls in a better way. So please drop in to our adda and share your views.

dear Shankar da,
I dont get u...how will you relate BPO industry to Barak Valley?
One is highly technical and updated with every second keeping global requirement into mind.That is something global. And our poor Barak is in the corner of our country....cornered by the govt.(central&state) as well.I want to understand your plans...

Hi Fellow silcharites ...

I have read the full thread of this topic and found that actaully some people are thinking for silchar .Although not many but folks like Mr. Shankar etc ,

well i have some points andthat will suffice only if we have a large members of Silchar.com participating in it .

1) Mahaadda members those who are in Silchar can actaully meet at a place and discuss some basic things that can be done for specific places in Silchar . All suggestions can be posted in Local News paper . This will make The local Corporators , MLA and MP on toes and make them work .

2) Presenting silchar as a great educational centre will have its own benefits . call centre is a very general term where people think they do only talking in english . There are lot of back office work that can be carried out in an Outsorced work . This includes some Accountancy work too ! So its not only spooling English but also lots of grey matter in place . Silchar has lots of good institutions and univs and they surely produce good quality people who can do wonders . Only thing is that we need to be more industrious .

3)People's forum can be a great help in highlighting Some of the problems . People can give deadlines to MPs, MLAs and other leaders and can demand for the work . this actaully happens in Metros , where pepole are more concious of the penny that they earn and the huge taxes that they return .

I understand that Mahaadda is used by people like me who had to give a name like NRS (..NRI for Silchar ) so it maybe thought that there are lots of preaching going on coz we are not there .then lets have a Group meeting sometimes where we can promise to meet on a particular date . This will happen only when the Mahaadda become a mature group .

anyway good thougts for the homeland .

cheerz

That's an idea, one try is worth it.But working against politicians:MLAs,MPs, in Silchar is really really tough.One Police officer gets district transfer if he wants to react against an illigal action of a person who is influential.Even the daily news papers from Silchar like Jugashankha and Sonar Cachar have got a pro-ism to certain political parties.

In Kolkata even , people go for strike if the price of potato rises by one rupee.But in Silchar, machher bazar-e agun lagleo shob machh bikri hoye jai.

I mean to say that corruption is a habit which we Indians have incorporated in our daily life.We opt for the easy way of corruption rather then the long and hurdled way of justice.This in-built habit within us should be changed first of all.Then we can do what we talk of:Impossible to possible.

I feel these days Lots of TV channels are easily accessible . They are always on lookout for stories .lets pool out our ideas , decide a problem which is common to all of us , inform the TV channels ( through their websites , etc ) and get the act together . Then we may not need the local newspapers also .

Lets have the data in hand , and go for the kill in a planned manner . Dont you think polioticians are intelligent peole coz they fool millions of people together . so we need to have our acts together .

anything for a better world .

Yes. That we can do. Many young talents are coming out of our AU itself trained in electronic media. We can take them as our crue and prepare short film and documentary based on reality.If we can get a local sponsor that will be an advantage.But we have to start from Zero ...that needs a lot of faih within us and a tactful appraoch.Idealism with passion and proper plan with intelligence.

There are a lot of people who are willing to do something but do not know how to do it. We can catch hold of them.

BUT.........WHO WILL MAKE THE FIRST MOVE?

hi every body...
meeting u after a long long time.....well as per my views regarding the documentry film reffered by our dear member called BRISTI....well i do have some positive remarks about it...well u see people can know abt us in a better way if we can do present ourself in a better manner by creating a movie focussing the lives in semi urban areas like SILCHAR...but for that i feel people from the electronic media can do us a lot more help....well what i feel is that to propose this idea to every body we need to form a group with the intention of forming a DOCUMENTRY MOVIE which will focus on our lives, culture, and our problems...

This can be done if a group is being formed

well bbye for now

Dear Anirban,
Thanks . Now we need to work in two areas. 1. Generate awareness of the situation at Silchar through print / audio-visual media. 2. Plan to start a small office ( too early to call it a call center) which will be a parasite to a big BPO Center / Call Center anywhere in the big cities in India. For job No. 1, you seems to have more ideas and our ADD friends (Bristi and others )can help a lot. So please start chalking out a plan for that. Politicians also will help us so long it popularizes them. If one MLA does not show interest others will be quick and smart enough to utilize the opportunity.
For Job No. 2, I need person(s) who will actually run the office. It could be one male / female or a team of persons. For ease of writing I am using “ HE “. The preferred qualifications and capabilities should be:
1. 5 to 7 years experience as software engr / MCA in a call center. He should be in a position to guide young graduates and responsible for work output in a competitive environment.
2. He should be eager to come and settle at Silchar and being a local man can mobilize resources ( rented house, employees, office equipment etc.) at the cheapest price .
3. He should be able to convince his present employer that quality job can be delivered from Silchar at much cheaper price. Till the office stabilizes, he will work as a subcontractor to the Head Office.
4. Regarding fund for buying the equipment and infrastructure, If the present management of his office is convinced and ready to open an office at Silchar then excellent. Otherwise he has to take loan from bank and start on his own Details like EMI, starting of loan repayment, security etc. are to be worked out with bank
5. Mr. Confused had given a very good link ( Reply no. 33).for all technical details of Wi MAN . More people are willing to help. Let a person come forward, then he will get all the information and help. Many of the FAQs are answered in the thread, he should go through the entire thread and then ask specific question(s).
6. Refer reply no 36. “NRS” has made some valuable suggestions here. Simple jobs ( like accountancy job ) can be taken up at the beginning to establish communication and capability. A highly sophisticated BPO jobs will not come to Silchar just like that as apprehended by Bristi. But once our boys & girls prove their worth, Silchar will be in the IT map. If others like Coimbatore, Kochi, Chandigarh, Vizag etc can do, why not we?
7. This is only a sketch, let experts give it the right shape.

hi

that's a very good idea!

i am running a small farm (computer related ) in delhi and planning to register it as pvt. Ltd. either in silchar or in delhi.

If i register it in silchar then i will get full 10 years of tax exemption (which are reserved for north eastern states) and recently went there (silchar & guwahati) for some business work and got very good response. so i am planning to start business in guwahati, silchar and dibrugarh apart from delhi.

why i am planning to start branches in north east (10-18% margin) because competition is very less there compared to delhi (5-7% margin)

i think every silcharist residing outside should help barak valley and start new business etc.

one bright one is Education business(engineering & dental college etc) , but i have very little money for that, it needs lot's of money.

Hope some one would try!

hello shankar saab

hope u are fine....i found your suggestions to a great help.....and we have one more candidate for our mission and he seems to be an aspiring entrepreneur....and that is MR RUPAM....he can help us with the 2nd suggestion which you have given us.....right now I am asking for Bristi who can help me with the print media......as far as the finance goes i have to talk with her and some of her colleagues who would be a part of this mission....Mr Rupam suggested a very business of education and his suggestions are also very positive...But i would like to add that we are in a mission of turning Silchar to a mini silicon valley(of the future) which is a herculean task and we are trying to create opportunities for our own youngsters who are leaving for big cities like delhi and bangalore....Silchar needs some potential in the IT industry....and thats what we are trying to find out

ok then bbye from anirban
