This person has catapulted a co-op of few thousand rupees turnover to a multi-crore enteprise with largest base in central india & that too with tribal women.

When we picture the tribal lady, the first picture comes to our mind is of a deprived ladu who is struggling to just meet her both ends.

In the said narrative, it would be hard to believe that the tribal ladies in MP & Jharkhand are owning an enterprise of Rs. 300 crore plus turnover in FY16-17.

Meet Dr. H K Deka who has made this unrealizable dream true for more than 10,000 tribal & SC women belonging to the economically most disadvantaged section of society since 2001.

Dr. Deka is a veterinary graduate from CVSc,Khanpara, Guwahati who has tiredlessely worked with his team starting from 2001 with 200 tribal women producers in Kesla block of Hoshangabad district in MP state of India.

Under his able leadership, one co-op with 200 membership has reached to a staggering 22 co-ops & more than 10000 membership exclusively​ of women by March 2017 spreading across five states: MP, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha & Assam.

The co-ops are organized in state level federations to realise economies of scale. The state level federations in turn has given rise to a national level trust known as: NSPDT (National Small Holder Poultry Development Trust).

Today NSPDT is the largest poultry group in central India with top market share in Jharkhand & second in MP. This is one of the most professionally managed & end to end integrated group in India & ready to take on big corporate houses.
NSPDT has also got into eggs production & retail chain of fresh dressed hygenic chicken since 2017.

NSPDT is targetting Rs. 1000 crore turnover, 50 co-ops, 4 state federations by 2020.

One could contact to know more about NSPDT at: www.nspdt.org or could write to Dr. Deka at: nspdt.b@gmail.com or could speak to at: 0755-4266340

How organizations get trumped?

Many a times it's not market or financial viability which Trump's an organization rather something very small like tussel of board with the CEO may trump the organization & that's where the role of institution comes in play.

I would like to cite example of HUL & Nirma. During late 90's Nirma was the most formidable competitor of HUL but just after 7-8 years, Nirma was nowhere to see. Even in 2007-10, many youngsters would not even knew name of Nirma. So what has happened during all those glorious years that such a formidable competitor was grounded & today no one even know the competitor. Did HUL played dirty politics or was there structural weakness in Nirma which grounded it?

I reminded of this case in context with a news item: Patanjali CEO quit over non payment of salary. This news item has hidden meaning which points towards systemic rot with in the fast paced growing organization which for me are the omen for grounding of this formidable organization, which may not be very far. 

Obsession of the founders to meddle with the executives makes the organization run out of steam very soon. It's like a Helium filled baloon which makes to the topm very quickly but could not sustain there while the organizations they are competing are like well oiled gas fired baloon which may go slowly to the sky but has got a trained driver to manoeuvre throughout the journey & make a safe landing. Who would want to get into a Helium filled ballon whose directions depend on the flow of the wind.
The statement wrt Patanjali shows how unprofessionally run our fast paced growing organizations are?

In the long run it is not the market or finance which shall steer the orga. through thick & thin, it is the management which spot & make use of opportunities, if the management is not build or make capable enough by inducting persons of high acumen, orga shall always be at the mercy of market & may perform well in the short run, shall bound to fail & pack their bags in long run.

During the fast paced growth of the organization, capacity building of the executives is ignored which in long run creates void  which become difficult to fill & result in crumbling of the whole orga.

The organizations should always remember that they may do whatever suits them with the executives during their hey days but when the wheel turns, there will be no one standing by their side to steer through the storm & it is not high time which makes an organization rather it is the ebb time which decides who shall survive.

Today (18-8-17) got to know that Vishal Sikka (CEO, Infosys) has resigned & has wrote a scathing letter to the Infosys management citing undue interference by the founder Mr. N. Murthy. One more alibi to the aforementioned subject.

Inspirational Boys

1. Narsingh Sesa (Bill: Balel, Block: Lamtaput, Dist.: Koraput, Age: 22-23, BA pass)
Came across this wonderful, hardworking & visionary youth while staying overnight at his home. He has made grand plans (& putting them into action) about how his patch of land will look like in the next 5 years. He has invested lot of efforts & time in planting Mango, black pepper, cashew, coffee with a view of diminishing efforts that could be spared by him & his family. While these plantations are for long term & require much less efforts (& the efforts are required just to maintain them not to replant every other season) & could be maintained by employing some casual labour but yield steady & smart returns over a long period. I also saw small ditches alongside plants & saw two matkas (earthen pots) around a tree & upon enquiring got to know that the ditches & matkas shall be filled with water in rainy season which shall keep the plant hydrated in non-rainy season & this all was his idea. He showed me a patch of land where around 1/5th was submerged & upon asking how would he get rid of the excess water, he replied that he had kept it that way to get the grass & weed decomposed under water & thereby making the underneath soil fertile & shall also work as a water body in the coming dry spells in winter season besides, as the patch is fully hydrated it would be used for Rabi vegetable plantations. I was amazed at the sheer ingenuity at full display before me from a village boy.

He himself is planning to shift down to some town & fetch a job to make use of his qualification. He has not only planned but also decided the timeline of one year to get this project complete. He has also planned as to who shall carry the task of managing & maintaining the Agri Initiative he has taken. He has planned to induct his younger brother, who is a driver, in this activity so that his brother is securely employed & he could use that opportunity to chase his dreams.

I respect Narsingh for his visionary being & would like to do my bit to get inspiration from them & could be of any small help in my might.

Real India - Osho

Osho's answer to "What according to you is real India"?

"India is the only land in the whole world, strangely, which has devoted all its talents in a concentrated effort to see the truth and to be the truth.

You cannot find a great scientist in the whole history of India. It is not that there were not talented people, it is not that there were not geniuses. Mathematics was founded in India, but it did not produce Albert Einstein. The whole country, in a miraculous way, was not interested in any objective research.

To know the other has not been the goal here, but to know oneself. For ten thousand years millions of people persistently making a single effort, sacrificing everything for it - science, technological development, riches - accepting poverty, sickness, disease, death, but not dropping the search at any cost. It has created a certain atmosphere, a certain ocean of vibrations around you.

If you come here with a little bit of a meditative mind, you will come in contact with it. If you come here just as a tourist, you will miss it. You will see the ruins, the palaces, the Taj Mahal, the temples, Khajuraho, the Himalayas, but you will not see India - you will have passed through India without meeting it. It was everywhere, but you were not sensitive, you were not receptive. You will have come here to see something which is not truly India but only its skeleton - not its soul. And you will have photographs of its skeleton and you will make albums of its skeleton, and you will think that you have been to India and you know India, and you are simply deceiving yourself.

There is a spiritual part. Your cameras cannot photograph it; your training, your education cannot capture it. You can go to any country, and you are perfectly capable of meeting the people, the country, its history, its past - in Germany, in Italy, in France, in England. But you cannot do the same as far as India is concerned. If you try to categorize it with other countries, you have already missed the point, because those countries don't have that spiritual aura. They have not produced a Gautam Buddha, a Mahaviraa, a Neminatha, an Adinatha. They have not produced a Kabir, a Farid, a Dadu. They have produced scientists, they have produced poets, they have produced great artists, they have produced painters, they have produced all kinds of talented people. But the mystic is India's monopoly; at least up to now it has been so.

And the mystic is a totally different kind of human being. He's not simply a genius, he is not simply a great painter or a great poet - he is a vehicle of the divine, a provocation, an invitation for the divine. He opens the doors for the divine to come in. And for thousands of years, millions of people have opened the doors for the divine to fill the atmosphere of this country.

To me, that atmosphere is the REAL India."
