Bihar has become land of millions heroes, who despite of no help from government system, are writing new stories of victory of human spirit. It has become a nursery of that kind of heros: Manjhi who built road and tunnel across mountian single handedly, a daku turn saviour who saves many villages from Naxals in kaimur district, Ravi Varma brining California to Bihar through tekcommand, an EBC lady, winning election and converting a maoist infested zone into a successful vegetable hub, group of village ladies in Nalanda showing the world the best organic products and revolutionary agri-business, Anand and Rehmanis running Super-30 likes institutes, Chaitanya brining world class school in a remote village, Two young guns from USA, brining husk-generated electricity and lighing as many villages, kaushalendra, an IIM-A alumini, brining veggie marketing revolution, Irrfan's samman. so many heroes, without govt support.
