Bhojpuri Association of India welcomes creation of Department of Bhojpuri in colleges in UP/ Bihar/ Jharkhand and strengthen the educational framework for sustaining Bhojpuri as a primary language.
C. Establish an online networking platform for Bhojpuri community to interact worldwide
BHAI-National Executive Committee member Mr. Sailesh Mishra, recently launched social portal Bhojpuri Express Network (BEN) www.bhojpuriExpress.com that has been making waves in an unprecedented manner on the Internet, especially among the Bhojpuri-speaking people in India and abroad. For the vast number of bhojpuriyas spread in several countries in different parts of the world, there was really no platform for people to get to know each other, share opinions, exchange photos, listen to Bhojpuri music or upload videos and our Bhojpuri community needed something like this in a professional way to bring everyone closer.
BHAI will use its official website and such online platforms for communication to make best use of technology for advancement of Bhojpuri and Bhojpuri society.
