Bihar Development Collective

The Bihar Development Collective is a joint initiative of well-meaning individuals and organizations who share a similar passion, zeal, competencies, and beliefs about strengthening Bihar's current development ecosystem. To do so, they are making a conscious attempt to develop BDC as a thriving platform that enables safe peer learning spaces, collaborations, mentoring, cross-learning, etc. The collective will evolve with time, adding multiple functionalities by holding a very structured process that caters to the needs of the hour but has a clear vision to "Strengthen the development ecosystem." In the last five years, BDC has made decent progress even though things around us were struggling to get better because of the forced slowdowns caused by COVID-19. Seeded in July 2019, BDC is now a registered (in 2022) legal body as "BDC Impact Foundation"(Section-8 Company). It has organized fourteen internal conventions of the members, conducted 20+ masterclasses, and directly-indirectly played a role in multiple collaborations during and post-COVID-19.
