Unlike of an IIM graduate for whom sky is the limit in corporate matters, Kaushalendra of Nalanda district with a management degree from IIM, Ahmedabad under his belt chose to sell vegetables on the streets of Patna and still dreamt to make it big.
How on earth can somebody make it big by selling etables? Meet 27-year-old Kaushalendra, son of a college demonstrator in the nondescript block town of Ekangarsarai in Nalanda district, who says, ''I have a dream to build Bihar into a vegetable hub of the country. I want vegetables grown in Bihar on dining tables everywhere — from Srinagar to Salem, from Shillong to Surat.''
Perhaps the most highly educated green grocer India has ever produced, he has founded a farmers' cooperative 'Samriddhi' which sells vegetables in ice-cooled pushcarts.
The private-public partnership venture, launched about a couple of months ago with assistance from the Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) with just one pushcart, has now placed an order for 50 more, thanks to a collateral-free loan of Rs 50 lakh from the Punjab National Bank.

IIM-Ahmedabad graduate aims to make Bihar, a vegetable hub
PATNA: It may come as a shock to many that after topping the elite Indian Institute of Management (IIM), he opted to sell vegetables on the rough streets of this city. But then Kaushalendra is a man on a mission.
He is not moving around with his loaded pushcart to earn a livelihood but to make his home state, Bihar, the vegetable hub of India.
Kaushalendra, who is in his late 20s, is an IIM-Ahmedabad graduate of the 2007 batch. He could, like his peers, have chosen to sit in the plush air-conditioned premises of a top MNC like his peers. But he is roughing it out instead.
"I am here to do something. It was my childhood dream to contribute to the development of rural Bihar," he said.
"I have opted to make vegetables the new brand of Bihar," Kaushalendra, the native of a village in Nalanda, which happens to be the home district of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, said.
Clad in a simple shirt and trousers, the bespectacled youth is popularly known as the "MBA sabziwalla" among his loyal customers, particularly women in the Kankarbagh colony, a middle class locality.
Hailing from a farmer family himself, he started his venture about 10 days ago.
After passing out of IIM-A, he did extensive fieldwork, meeting farmers, studying cultivation techniques and finally taking a bank loan of Rs 40 lakh to start the project.
"Till date the response has been better than expected," Kaushalendra said, well aware of the attention he attracts.
Unlike other vegetable vendors, he is minutely studying consumer behaviour as he goes along. "It is important for me to study consumer behaviour when they purchase vegetables from my pushcart to help prepare a blueprint of expansion," he said.

IIM-A alumnus sells vegetables in Patna
Patna, July 2: Steering clear of the beaten track, a graduate from IIM, Ahmedabad, once chose to sell vegetables on the streets of Patna to fulfil his career dream.
Meet 27-year-old Kaushalendra, son of a college demonstrator in the nondescript block town of Ekangarsarai in Nalanda district. "I have a dream to build Bihar into the vegetable hub of the country. I want vegetables grown in Bihar on dining tables everywhere -- from Srinagar to Salem and from Shillong to Surat," says Kaushalendra.
Perhaps the most highly educated green grocer India has ever produced, the young man from Nalanda has founded a farmers' cooperative, Samriddhi, which sells vegetables in ice-cooled pushcarts.
The private-public partnership venture, launched about a couple of months ago with assistance from Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) with just one pushcart, has now placed an order for 50 more carts, thanks to a collateral-free loan of Rs 50 lakh from Punjab National Bank.
Nearly 300 farmers have associated themselves with Samriddhi. ATMA, a government undertaking, is training these farmers in matters relating to high-yield seeds and crop protection.
"Our aim is to propagate organic farming and use our expertise in marketing to reach the markets not only in India but also abroad so that the farmers of Bihar fetch good return for their produce. In five years, we target to penetrate the vegetable markets in the US, Europe and Japan," Kaushalendra says.
The ice-cooled pushcart vegetables are a hit with customers in parts of southern Patna. "The vegetables taste garden fresh, are priced reasonably and, to add to that, they are weighed accurately with electronic weighing machines... we are just delighted to have it at a time when we have to make do with shoestring budget thanks to record inflation," says Bharti, a housewife in Kankarbagh area.
Moreover, the pushcart vendor gives the buyers a cash-memo which no other vegetable seller does, as further authentication of the quality and quantity of the vegetables.
"I am not only selling vegetables, but also the name of the farmer and the village where it has been grown. The farmer should not remain an unsung hero any more," he says pointing at the tag on the vegetables which has the mention of the name of the farmer and his village.
"One day," he said with a twinkle in his eyes, "we will be able to build Bihar into a brand... the largest selling brand in horticulture."
Asked about the initial reaction of his family to the idea of their highly qualified son foregoing a lucrative career in the corporate world and opting for an uncertain future, Kaushalendra said, "They were shocked but were later reconciled... now they seem happy that I am trying to do something that would benefit hundreds and thousands of farmers of Bihar."
Asked to comment on the job offers he had, the self-effacing IIM graduate said, "I did not opt for the placement process. So, in that sense, I had none. I saw the farmers of my vegetable-growing village eke out a living by the sweat of their brow and then watch with abject resignation the fruits of their toil rot during the floods. I always dreamt of doing something for them and I am just chasing that dream," Kaushalendra says.

Four dogs captured, plane grounded after bird-hit
AHMEDABAD: Four stray dogs were rounded up by an Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation team on the airport premises in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, even as another aircraft was grounded after a serious bird-hit early in the morning.
The dogs were rounded up a day after The Times of India reported the narrow escape passengers aboard an Emirates aircraft bound for Sharjah and Dubai had when the plane ran over a dog on the runway.
An AMC squad moved in on Wednesday morning after being called in by the Airports Authority of India. The squad from the 'cattle nuisance control department' chased down and captured four dogs from the runway in a day-long operation. G Choudhary, the AMC official who led the team, said: "We have caught four dogs and are looking for more. There are breaches in the airport boundary wall which need to be plugged."
AAI officials said: "We have commenced checking the runway and adjoining areas for dogs before take-off and landing of each flight." They said the influx of dogs increases during the rains as they try to hunt down birds which flock the grasslands around the runway which are full of insects. Insecticides were sprayed all over the grasslands to keep insects, and birds which prey on them, at bay.
Five more birds were found dead on the runway on Wednesday, taking the total number of dead birds in the last two days to 17. A Jet Airways flight, which hit a bird while landing on Wednesday morning, was undergoing repairs till late in the evening. The incident was confirmed by the Jet's airport office.
The Emirates plane on Tuesday morning had crushed a dog during take-off. The pilot continued on course and the flight took off despite the bump. Three flights — Indian, Jet Airways and Spice Jet — had also reported bird hits around the same time. Of these, the Indian flight, bound for Muscat, had to make an emergency landing.

Dog hit at Ahmedabad airport during take-off
AHMEDABAD: Twelve dead birds and a flattened dog. Air passengers would consider themselves lucky as the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel airport in Ahmedabad was strewn with these carcasses on Tuesday morning after a night of heavy rains!
The luckiest of the entire lot were passengers aboard an Emirates aircraft bound for Sharjah and Dubai when the plane ran over a dog on the runway early on Tuesday morning. The incident took place when the flight was about to take off at 5.10 am. The pilot continued on course and the flight took off despite the bump.
This shocking incident in a supposedly sanitized zone led to a 30-minute delay for the next flight and the Qatar Airways plane bound for Doha had to wait till the blood-splattered runway was cleaned up. The pilot of the Doha flight refused to take off till the dead animal’s remains were cleared off the runway.
With no cleaning staff present at that early hour, Air Traffic Control called in fire tenders to flush the runway. That was not all. On Tuesday morning, ATC was surprised to find not less than 12 birds dead on the runway.
This was after an Indian flight from Ahmedabad-Mumbai-Muscat was hit a bird soon after take-off. The pilot, noticing that something had gone wrong with the affected engine, sought permission to make an emergency landing. The flight left on Tuesday evening after necessary repairs were made.
Officials at the ATC said that in the wee hours of Tuesday, Jet Airways and Spice Jet aircraft, both bound for Mumbai, had also reported bird hits. However, the hits did not cause any delays. Kites, eagles, pigeons and crows were among the casualties.
TOI made several attempts to contact PB Bhagat, airport director, but he was not available for comment.

We don't find Nandy's articles objectionable: SC
NEW DELHI: The Gujarat government and the state police attracted stinging criticism from the Supreme Court on Tuesday for filing an FIR against political psychologist and sociologist Ashis Nandy for allegedly promoting enmity between communities in an article he wrote analysing the outcome of the 2007 assembly poll.
Giving Nandy blanket protection from arrest for writing the article published in TOI, a vacation bench comprising Justices Altamas Kabir and G S Singhvi said the practice of making “soft targets” of journalists for writing critical articles did not augur well for the country.
While their observations about the diminishing tolerance for criticism appeared to apply to the political class as a whole, the court made a specific reference to the situation in Gujarat. “Why are people coming from the land of Mahatma Gandhi so intolerant towards such criticism? There are worst examples than this.”
Justices Kabir and Singhvi stressed the importance of press freedom as they provided relief to Nandy. “If a journalist cannot write what he feels, then it will be disastrous for the country,” the court said when Nandy’s counsel, senior advocate Rakesh Khanna, pointed out that the article was an expression of personal opinion and had in no way promoted enmity between communities.
"What has he written? Why should he be prosecuted for what he has written? We do not find it objectionable. He is 71 years old. Let him live in peace," the vacation bench comprising Justices Altamas Kabir and G S Singhvi said while ordering all authorities in Gujarat not to arrest the reputed political scientist in connection with the case.
The court also stayed the summons issued to Nandy by Satellite police station, Ahmedabad, asking him to appear before it on July 8. No more summons to him, the court said.
When Gujarat government's counsel Hemantika Wahi tried to point out the objectionable portions of the article to the court and even gave an assurance that Nandy would not be arrested if he joined the investigation, the court said: "What is the investigation to be carried out in this case?"
When Wahi persisted that no order was required to be passed as the police would not arrest him, the court commented on the growing intolerance in the political class towards criticism.
Nandy had moved the apex court seeking anticipatory bail apprehending arrest by the Ahmedabad police, which had registered an FIR against him on May 30 under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language) and 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration).
The FIR was registered on a complaint from one V K Saxena, president of an NGO, alleging that the article has created rift between groups within society that could have grave repercussions for the state.
The court also questioned the motive behind Saxena's complaint to the police. "What is the grievance of V K Saxena? Is he a staunch nationalist?" it asked.

Ahmedabad job-seekers trapped by online fraudsters
Posting a profile in Indian jobsites is no longer a safe play. About 12 cases of online frauds in jobsites have already been picked up by the private investigators in the Gujarat capital. These cunning fraudsters are trapping young people who are on the look-out for a job. These imposters are tempting the unemployed brigade by calling them for interviews for a company that offers them fat salary and a brand name. This is the second time the IT Examiner has reported an online fraud in the city of Ahmedabad.
Contacting the Ahmedabad based cyber crime expert, Sunny Vaghela, revealed some important facts. Vaghela said the jobsites are to be blamed for these frauds as they show a lackadaisical attitude by selling the databases without verifying buyers’ profile. And as a result, these swindlers can easily get access to the profiles of the job-seekers. He further said the imposters send these interview mails under the header of big IT companies and also promise to reimburse the air-fares to the job-seekers on appearing for the interviews. Vaghela has also revealed the name of an Indian jobsite, timesjobs.com and has evidences where it clearly shows that the mail was sent under the header of an Indian IT major, HCL.
Asking the aspirants to be more watchful, Vaghela pointed out one cannot suspect the mails as these are generated from an “authentic” email Id. Though, these mails are not authorized or official email. But most of the times, the mails are generated from other email providers. The job-seekers, however, ignore the fact that such mails are generated from job websites and not by the company itself.
As India has its IT heart in places like Bangalore and Hyderabad, these cities have almost all the big IT companies with huge openings. It becomes easier for any swindler to call people to these couple of IT hubs for interviews.

Rain brings respite to Ahmedabad, clogs city roads
Though the season's rain brought respite to the city on Tuesday from the simmering heat after a gap of almost two weeks, it clogged underpasses and roads in the low-lying areas in Ahmedabad.
The city had earlier received its first spell of rain in the second week of June.
Within an hour of the downpour accompanied by heavy lighting and thunder, many roads in the western part of the city were knee-deep in water.
People were seen stranded on the roads along with their two-wheelers.
Areas like Ambawadi, Ellisbridge underpass, Manekbag, Panjrapoll were some of the effected area.
Earlier, heavy rains were reported from Rajkot,Surat, Vasad, Amreli and Bhavnagar district.
