Jobless? Try Tea-biz in Assam! (Thousands benefit by entering the 'forbidden' tea business.) The unemployed in Assam don't seek jobs, they get into tea biz Moran was a small township in upper Assam's Dibrugarh district, a mere dot on the National Highway 37. Today, it is the nervecentre of new age tea cultivation that is churning millionaires out of seemingly ordinary but hardworking people. Take Lekhak Koch, for instance. Only a decade ago, he used to move around on a rickety bicycle, doing odd jobs. Today, he is a proud owner of several four-wheelers, among them a Tata Sumo, a brand new Mahindra Classic and a Maruti car. Or consider Pradeep Khatniar's story. In 1985, he used to sell vegetables in the local market, act as a go-between in cattle deals and do whatever odd job came his way. Thirteen years later, Khatniar, by his own admission makes about Rs 1 million a year from selling green tea leaf. 216.32.165.70
