This is how they greet people of their community when they meet. Yes, I am talking about the Bahujan Samaj or a Buddhist or an Ambedkarite in India. They are the so called backward class, but, I did not find it. People of this community are also marching ahead with globalization. They are not backward now. Even they are well educated and economically stable.

Well to the point. Ambedkarites organised a Workshop on Entrepreneurship on 26th December, 2009. To spread the word of Entrepreneurship among their community. The Organisation BFRN (Blue Flag Resource Network) formed by young Buddhists or Ambedkarites based in UK is working on uplifting their community by motivating people to take up Entrepreneurship as their career. Their main objective is to create ‘Employers’ and not the ‘Employees’.

I happened to attend this event as I have close contacts with Prof. Anil Gaikwad (one of the authors on manzeal.com). Prof. Gaikwad was informing me about some seminar on Entrepreneurship and I asked him whether I could attend it, and, he was happy to invite me for the seminar and I was then a part of the organizing team.

Mr. Satish Gautam & Prof. Anil Gaikwad

Around 10 – 12 members were from the organizing team including Prof. Anil Gaikwad (Chapter Head – BFRN, Mumbai), Mr. Sunil Bansode (BFRN, UK), Mr Param Ghodeshwar, myself and few others. It was a well organised events. List of speakers include Mr. Ravindra Gaikwad (Motivational Speaker & Business Owner), Mr. Pralad Mali (Motivational Speaker), Prof. S. S. Yadav (Civil Contractor), Mr. Sandeep Waghmare (Civil Contractor), Dr. Lavesh Jadhav, Mr. Satish Gautam (Financial Planner & Business Owner), Mr. Pravin More, Mr. Anil Gaikwad (Corporate Finance Consultant), Mr. P G Lakhande and Mr. Vaibhav Pagare.

All these people were Ambedkarites and they motivated people and stressed the need of entrepreneurship within the community as well as for the benefit of the country. They also focused on various issues which hinder growth of entrepreneurship within their community.

Around 40 – 50 young Ambedkarites attended the session. Special thanks to Prof. Anil Gaikwad for taking me in the Organizing committee, to Mr. Sunil Bansode & Mr. Param Ghodeswar.
