In fact I had not heard that word (jugaad) before. I looked it up in a Hindi 
dictionary and it means "to manage resources" "to muster resources, to find a 
way out"

Sorry, Shiv, hadn't read your note before replying. That's it, more or less. In 
Bong, it's jogaarh, pronounced with a hard r at the end. It more or less means 
procure = to muster resources; the find a way out is current usage derived 
through the slang route from that very different origin.
