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.
