Bihari Come Back – A Call from Prashyant Jha to Every Bihari Across the World

By: Prashyant Jha

Bihar has always been a land of intelligence, hard work, and resilience. From ancient Nalanda University to modern-day toppers in competitive exams, Biharis have consistently proven that when it comes to brainpower and determination, we are second to none. But today, I, Prashyant Jha, am making a heartfelt request to every Bihari living outside the state — whether in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Dubai, New York, or anywhere else in the world:

Come back to Bihar. Not forever. Just for one month.

Why This Call is So Important

For decades, Bihar has been fighting challenges that have pushed its talent away:

Lack of infrastructure and industries
Fewer job opportunities compared to metro cities
Poor business ecosystem that discourages entrepreneurs
Migration in search of education, jobs, and better living standards

These issues have left Bihar dependent on the remittance and skills of those who have left. But instead of just sending money home, what if we send our knowledge, experience, and entrepreneurial spirit back too?

The Problems Bihar Still Faces

Bihar is rich in culture and resources but struggles with:

Unemployment forcing youth to leave the state
Underdeveloped industries despite huge potential
Poor healthcare access in rural areas
Weak business networks compared to other states

We can change this — if we, the people of Bihar, decide to take responsibility.

The Reality of Living Away from Bihar

Many Biharis living outside the state face their own struggles:

Language barriers in other states or countries
Loneliness away from family and community
Health problems due to lifestyle changes
Cultural separation and the feeling of never fully belonging
Depression and mental stress from being away from home

Back in Bihar, you won’t feel like an outsider. You’ll be among your own people, speaking your own language, eating your own food, and feeling a sense of belonging that no metro or foreign city can truly give.

The Plan – How One Month Can Change Everything

Here’s my request:

Come to Bihar for at least one month.
Use your skills and experience from outside to start something here — a business, a workshop, a training program, or even a small retail outlet.
Hire and train local people to manage it.
Return to your current job or city, but keep the Bihar business running.
As it grows stronger, slowly shift more focus back home.

Small Steps, Big Changes – Budget is Not a Barrier

Many people think starting a business needs lakhs. But trust me — you can start small:

Selling MOMOS on a cart for just ₹5,000
Opening a small Kirana store
Launching a service business with almost no investment

The Bihar government is now supporting both new and traditional business ideas. This is the right time to use that support, build your roots here, and grow with the state.

A Big Vision – Connecting Bihar to the World

I am very soon launching an e-commerce app like Amazon or Flipkart — but made for Bihar — to connect Bihari businesses with global buyers. If you have skills, products, or services, you can get involved in this project right from the start.

Don’t Stay Behind – The Future is Calling

AI is changing the world fast. Jobs are disappearing. Businesses are shifting. Tomorrow, when your kids ask:

“Mom/Dad, if you are from Bihar, why didn’t you start something we could continue?”
You should have an answer.
Don’t wait for someone else to build the future here. Be the one who starts it.

📢 Bihar needs you. And you need Bihar too.
