Bill Gates to Adopt Bihar Village


Patna, May 11 (IANS) Microsoft chief Bill Gates will adopt a backward village in Bihar during his daylong visit to the state Wednesday, officials said.

The philanthropist, accompanied by officials of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, will visit the state for the first time.

Gates would adopt Gularia village in Khagaria, about 170 km from here, and help improve the socio-economic condition of the people, the district's Superintendent of Police Sudhanshu Kumar said.

At present, the village, comprising mainly Mahadalits, considered poorer than dalits, does not have even basic civic amenities like running water, electricity, schools and health centres.

Gates is also scheduled to meet Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the state capital to discuss development issues and changes taking place for the poor.

    Bill Gate is a wonderful human being and his love towards the poor and downtrodden is astonishing. Bill Gate is King of Charity and fondly remembered in History. It is really shame, Indian Government is neglecting the Mahadalits so as the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of Bihar does nothing for these poor people. Almighty God Bless Bill Gates abundantly for his great service to humanity especially the dalits..
