If you believe in
yourself then you can do it!!!!!

The statements of Swami
Vivekananda have the capability to cut through the eras and times. Though many
people of this fast paced world may believe that the present world is only
running on capitalism and the poor are destined to remain poor and the richer should
remain richer. But there are still a number of people who still believe in the
words of Swami Vivekananda and posses the capability to change their destinies.
Bishram Bedia and Jitendra Bedia have changed their destinies through
tremendous hard work and self belief.
Both the Bedia brothers
worked as day labourers but on an advice of a relative they took training from
Divyayan in poultry farming. They started their own poultry farm in 2008 by
taking loan of Rs 50,000 from Bank of India in Getalsud. At first they started
the farm from their own investment and brought 1000 chicks @ Rs.25 per piece. They
also took a loan of Rs 25,000 from dealer and after 1 month they made a profit
of Rs.25, 000. Then the loan was repeated @ Rs.5000. Next month they again
brought 100 chicks. But this time they faced a loss of Rs 15,000 due to high
mortality.
Again they brought 1000
chicks but this time they never looked back. Within 1 year they recovered all
the loans and had a profit of Rs.30,000. Next year they had the capital of
Rs.30,000 also restructured their farm to increase the space.
Gradually they
increased the numbers of chicks slowly and steadily. Presently they have 2000
chicks. Also they do not have any dealers. Now they buy chicks from Hazaribagh
and Kolkata @ Rs.22 per piece and sell the product in Ranchi in Lahardaga @
Rs.75 per kg. They make their business in wholesale markets largely but also they
sell their products retail markets @ Rs.100 per kg.
From 2013 they started
the distribution of chicks among the farmers. They make profit of Rs.50 per
chick with a profit of Rs 3000-4000 per month. They used to sell chicks to
Dimrah farmers. But they suffered a loss of around Rs 40,000 last year. So they
discontinued this practice. They also started the business of feeding the
poultry and made profit of Rs.2000-3000 per month. Now they make a profit of
around Rs 10,000 from it. Now they also kept a helper. They are also making a
Pucca house and also owning a Threshing Machine.
They also bought a minivan
in 2010 by making a down payment of Rs.50, 000 and the rest in loan. Within two
years they have paid off their debts.
They are the perfect
example to those persons who only believe in destiny and wait for their
destinies to change. But Bedia brothers believed rather in ‘Karma’ and they
have changed their destinies by their hardwork.
