		Says Mujeebur Rahman Bhayla, a medium scale truck operator: “Though Modasa has few crorepatis, the organisation of the business by the MRTC enabled a large number of Ghanchi entrepreneurs to achieve a decent standard of living in a short time.” In fact, no one in the town owns more than eight trucks.
