US President Barack Obama has lavished praise on the NGO 'Sammaan Foundation' founder Irfan Alam for his endeavour to create jobs for unskilled people by manufacturing rickshaws for livelihood and sustenance of unskilled people of Bihar. "You are doing a tougher job than me by creating jobs for the unskilled people of your state and other parts of the country," he told reporters here quoting Obama's encouraging words to him in Mumbai yesterday. Alam,who was part of a goup of industrialists who had met Obama,said that he had briefed the US President about his endeavour to help the rickshaw pullers to lead a dignified life by way of maximizing income,besides undertaking welfare measures for them. Alam was among a select list of enterpreneurs who were invited to attend the young enterpreneurs' summit at the White House earlier this year.
