Remember Past
Though no get-togethers were held in 2001and 2002, some of the Bijharis in a smaller group started meeting alongwith their families. Many such meetings took place at the house of Serbjeet and Nisha Prasad in Choa Chu Kang and in one such meeting in mid April 2003 BIJHAR was conceived. The IT savvy Sanjeev Kumar Roy and also the first President of BIJHAR set up a yahoogroup and BIJHAR membership started growing.

Our Society in Singapore
The 2nd get-together followed soon at the residence of Abhayjit Sinha and Satyasheel Kumar near AlJuneid MRTand was attended by an equal number. About 20 of Bijharis met again at Ganga restaurant in Little India with plans to spread the Bijhari network and rope in more. However, little progress could be made in the next two years.

BiJhar Community
An entity like BiJhar was in the minds of the founders for sometime who upto a point remained contented by bumping into an odd Bihari or Jharkhandi in a restaurant or a bus. They were struggling to get hold of a critical mass which happened on an evening at the home of Shri Sanjay Singh. The list of Biharis in Singapore available at Bihar Times came handy and soon an enthusiastic bunch of people started to look for a more organized forum. The first Bijhari get-together was held in mid 2000 at Boat Quay Tandoor in the city centre. The occasion was the birthday celebration of one of the members Manoj Bhandari ( who later relocated to USA). This get-together was attended by about 25 people and was quite successful considering the fact it was the first such meeting of Biharis in Singapore to our knowledge.
