Rickshaws are a significant means of transport and conveyance in India. Most of
the rickshaw pullers are victims of high daily rental fees making it nearly
impossible to earn enough income to ever own a rickshaw in their lifetime. It
was year 2003; a rickshaw puller was narrating his ordeal to Dr Pradip Kumar
Sarmah. He was so distressed that he could not sleep at night; the realization
however also galvanized Mr. Sharma into action and he initiated the project
“Rickshaw Bank”
In the month of November 2010 Dr. Pradip Sarmah visited Boston at the
Invitation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We had the fortune of
talking to Dr. Sarmah through a teleconference. The following article has been
prepared by Saibal Das of Dallas, Texas

Thanks and we also appeal you all to support this wonderful project, let’s hope
that Pradip Sarmah will truly be a pride of North East
