CHAPTER – I

OVERVIEW OF POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES

INTRODUCTION

1.1 In consonance with National Plan objectives, the Eleventh Five Year Plan of

Bihar (2007-12) aims at restructuring policies to achieve a new vision of growth that will

be more broad-based and inclusive. For various reasons, the State could not be an equal

partner in the country‘s economic development in the past. The reasons are many-some

are historic, some are institutional, some are endemic to its physiognomy, while some

relate to misdirected priorities. The Eleventh Five Year Plan seeks to set in motion an

engine of growth by means of well-conceived priorities and appropriate corrective

strategies to reverse the decelerating trend discernible in the past. The main objective of

the Eleventh Plan is to significantly raise the growth trajectory and to improve the

livelihood of its millions of people by creating opportunities for gainful employment for

its young demographic profile.

1.2 Rapid growth has to be an essential part of the strategy, since it is only in a

rapidly growing economy that incomes of majority of the population will be raised

sufficiently to bring about a general improvement in living conditions. But a policy of

accelerated growth cannot, in itself, serve the desired goal, unless it is backed by

appropriate measures for ensuring distributive justice. More than 40 per cent of the

population in Bihar lives below the poverty line. Rural poverty is substantially higher

than urban. With 9 out of every 10 persons in Bihar living in villages, poverty in Bihar is

significantly a rural phenomenon. The rural poor have limited access to land, livestock,

education, healthcare and gainful employment. Their main source of income is

agricultural wages or casual non-farm jobs. A large percentage of them is landless.

Although the percentage of people below poverty line registered a marginal fall during

1999-2000 to 2004-05, it is far above the National average. The State will have to make

serious efforts to bring down its headcount ratio of poverty population by 13.1 percentage

points (from 41.5 in 2004-05 to 28.4 in 2011-12).

1.3 Education and healthcare facilities are essential to productive employment. The

State‘s poor social indicators underline the importance of improving access to essential

public services, especially education and health. Education indicators for Bihar are

abysmally poor compared to the National average, largely because of the lack of

educational institutions and staff. Enrolment of children in the age group 6-14 is

significantly low and there is a high percentage of drop-out rates. Poor delivery of

education has resulted in a high degree of migration from the State for education and

employment, resulting in a large and continuous loss of skilled manpower. The situation

is similar in health service delivery, where medical personnel and physical infrastructure

are far below the All-India norms. Other social indicators like Infant Mortality Rate

(IMR), Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and malnutrition in the age-group 0-3 years are

significantly high in Bihar as compared with the National average. The entire social

delivery system requires to be revamped if the Millennium Development Goals of the

World Bank are to be achieved. The social Services sector will accordingly, receive a

high priority in the Plan.

Bihar is deficient in the provision of basic infrastructure like roads and power. A

good road network plays a key role in opening up backward and remote regions to trade

and investment. The poor road network and inadequate generation of power in the State

have been major deterrents in the way of industrial growth. These constraints are being

tackled gradually in recent times. The State Government is pushing ahead the completion

of the Golden Quadrilateral Project within the State. New funds have been sanctioned in

the State budget for accelerated road construction; the process for procurement and

tenders has been improved and Chief Minister‘s programme for construction of small

bridges and rural roads is being expedited. In order to give a boost to rural connectivity

and to provide all-weather road connectivity in rural areas, the PMGSY scheme has been

carried out in right earnest. Infrastructure development will receive a high priority in the

Eleventh Plan. The thrust would be on construction of missing links, construction of

bypasses, upgrading old and newly declared State Highways and four-laning of all the

major routes in the State.

Rapid augmentation of power generating capacity is also an overwhelming

priority for the State. Even in a constrained demand scenario, where the electricity system

covers only 50 per cent of the villages and 6 per cent of the households, the peak

availability is about 950 MW, causing a peak shortfall of 550 MW. Bihar has only 584

MW of installed capacity and most of the power requirement is met by purchases from

the Central generating plants. The power policy in the Eleventh Plan will be to involve as

far as possible, the Central PSUs in revamping existing generation assets through joint

ventures as well as offering the private sector to operate in a big way in the development

of the thermal power projects.

2. STATE OF THE ECONOMY: A MACRO OVERVIEW

GROWTH TREND

2.1 The trend in the growth rate of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of Bihar

during the Tenth Plan has been volatile, mainly because of the dominance of the

Agriculture sector in the State‘s economy (Table 1.1).

2006-07(Q) 76522.49 16.02 7.48

(Note : P-Provisional; Q-Quick Estimate)

The average annual growth rate of Bihar was 4.61 percent in the Tenth Plan, as against

above 7 per cent for the country. The growth rate of GSDP was higher than that during

the Ninth Plan (2.90 per cent). The growth rate of per capita income was 2.21 per cent.

The growth rate of the Agriculture Sector during the Tenth Plan period was 1.76 per cent,

while those of the Industry and the Services Sector were 11.35 per cent and 5.58 per cent

respectively.

STRUCTURE OF THE ECONOMY

2.2 The economy of Bihar has experienced little structural changes over the years and

is not well diversified. It is a predominantly agrarian economy with a small

manufacturing base. While the share of agriculture has declined, it is still very large.

Manufacturing accounts for only 6.97 per cent of the GSDP in 2006-07. The share of the

primary sector has declined from 50.6 per cent in 1990-91 to 34.4 per cent in 2006-07.

The bifurcation of the State in 2000 with its manufacturing base going over to Jharkhand,

had an adverse impact on the structure of the economy. The contribution of the

Secondary sector which was 20.98 per cent in 1990-91, fell to 14.62 per cent in 2006-07

which is almost half of the National average. The tertiary sector has grown

disproportionately and without a concomitant growth in the Secondary sector. Its

contribution to the GSDP rose to 55 percent in 2006-07 from 51 per cent in 2000-01.

REGIONAL DISPARITY

2.3 In spite of the efforts of planned development in the past several decades, the

regional disparities have widened and several states like Bihar are at the lowest rung of

development. The backwardness of the State is due to historical reasons - low per capita

plan expenditure, inadequate flow of Central assistance, occurrence of floods and

droughts, low C-D ratio etc. There is also wide intra-State disparity of income which is

evident from the study of District Domestic Products. If the districts are ranked according

to DDP, the districts which fall above the State average in 2004-05 were Patna,

Muzaffarpur, Begusarai, Munger and Bhagalpur. Two districts, namely, Rohtas and West

Champaran which were in this category in 1999-2000 have slipped away from this

category in 2004-05. Those falling between the State average and 75 per cent of the State

average of DDP in 2004-05 were Nalanda, Bhojpur, Rohtas, Gaya, West Champaran,

Vaishali, Madhubani, Samastipur, Lakhisarai, Khagaria, Saharsa, Purnea and Katihar.

The rest of the districts falling below this category may be termed as very backward

districts. A comparison of the situation prevailing in 1999-2000 with that in 2004-05

reveals that entrepreneurial opportunities have brought about concentration of population

around cities like Patna etc. whose capita DDP has grown enormously, while some have

slipped out from the race. The Eleventh Plan of the State will strive to make a major dent

on removing intra-State disparities by initiating development projects in backward

districts of the state.

GROWTH POTENTIAL

2.4 The low growth of GSDP of Bihar can be attributed to the low accumulation of

physical capital and lack of efficiency in the use of capital. From 1999-2000 to 2003-04

the investment rate has been around 27 per cent for the country, against which Bihar‘s

average rate of investment was abysmally low at 15 per cent of GSDP. An accelerated

rate of growth of GSDP is necessary to break the economic stagnation the State is faced

with. In the Eleventh Plan, a target rate of growth of GSDP of 8.5 per cent has been

postulated for Bihar which requires the investment rate to be stepped up to 23.65 per cent

of the GSDP.

2.5 In the background of a low rate of growth of GSDP, a high postulated rate of

growth is feasible if concerted efforts are made to make efficient use of existing potential

and to tap hitherto unused potential, particularly in the primary sector. There is enough

evidence to believe that a large stock of existing capital assets in publicly funded

infrastructure like power, roads and irrigation have been lying idle for years. Priority will

be given to completing and upgrading such projects as this would be more cost-effective

than undertaking new projects. For achieving a higher rate of growth, the private sector

will have to play a much bigger role for which an investment-friendly climate is being

created. Further, direct investment by the Central Government in strategic areas such as

power, flood control, construction of roads and bridges etc. will further increase the

attractiveness of Bihar as an investment destination.

2.6 The sectoral growth rates consistent with an 8.5 per cent rate of growth of GSDP

have been projected at 5 per cent for Agriculture, 11 per cent for Industry and 10 per cent

for Services. Agriculture has shown a decelerating trend after the 90‘s. The average

annual rate of growth of Agriculture in the Tenth Plan was less than 2 per cent. The

deceleration in Agriculture has been mainly due to supply side constraints like irrigation,

power supply, seeds, fertilizer use, mechanisation etc. along with certain institutional

factors. The Eleventh Plan will endeavor to remove these supply side constraints and also

to create adequate demand for agricultural products by increasing the real income of the

rural and the urban poor and by setting up agro-based industries. Security of tenure of

small, marginal and landless labourers will be ensured by effective implementation of

land reforms. The rate of growth of Industry during the Tenth Plan has been of the order

of 5.58 per cent. With proper infrastructural development and implementation of the new

industrial policy, increased private investment in the Industry sector is expected. Services

sector which has shown a rate of growth of 11.35 per cent will get an automatic boost.

INCREMENTAL CAPITAL OUTPUT RATIO (ICOR) AND INVESTMENT

PROFILE

2.7 Based on the data on capital formation in the State for the period 1999-2000 to

2003-04 and the data on GSDP with a lag of two years, the Incremental Capital Output

Ratio (ICOR) for the economy works out to 2.78. The ICOR in the Eleventh Plan has

been realistically postulated to be 3.00 in view of the vastly higher capital expenditure on

developing infrastructural projects in roads, bridges, power, irrigation and flood control

visualised in the Plan. Based on the postulated ICOR and the incremental change in

GSDP, the size of the total outlay for an 8.5 per cent rate of growth, has been projected

at Rs 1,66,593 crore, of which the outlay for the public sector will be Rs. 60,665 crore,

while the private sector is expected to account for the remaining 1,05,928 crore. Since

State Government will invest more money in developing infrastructures, the

demand of outlays in these sectors will naturally be high. Taking into account the

flow of augmented resources in last three years of 10th plan, the outlay for public

sector will certainly be increased during and by the end of 11th plan. In approach

paper for the 11th plan, based on investments in private as well as public sectors, an

increase of 8.5% in G.S.D.P. has been expected. The provisions of higher outlays for

proposed welfare schemes for weaker sections including Mahadalits, and women in

addition to infrastructures, the investment in public sector will be to the tune of

Rs. 76482.78 crore. Even if the private sector investment does not increase

proportionately, growth rate of 9% is probable, owing to the higher public

investments during Eleventh Five Year Plan. The private sector is anticipated to

assume a much bigger role and its share has been projected at 63.6 per cent of the total

investment from the present level of 59 per cent. The areas in which private investment is

anticipated include transport, power, education, health etc.

2.8 Sectoral programmes and policies need to be comprehensively structured for a

fast and more inclusive growth. New initiatives are to be taken up and priorities are to be

drawn up accordingly to enable the State to achieve its targeted growth rate. Public sector

outlay in the Eleventh Plan will be about three times the actual expenditure of the Tenth

Plan. Much of the outlay will be allocated to the infrastructural sectors; 6.17 per cent of

the total outlay will be allocated to the Energy sector, 10.30 to Water Management and

Irrigation and 29.26 per cent to Roads and Bridges. Social infrastructure such as,

Education, Health, Welfare and Urban Development would account for 29.15 per cent of

the total outlay.

2.9 There has to be a proper prioritization of schemes/projects for the Eleventh Plan

with an objective to use the available resources in the most judicious and economically

efficient manner. In particular, while preparing the Annual Plan proposals by each

Department there should be an attempt to outline an annual action plan highlighting the

basic sectoral priorities. The basic approach is that the critical programmes in each sector

should not suffer for lack of fund and are completed as planned so that the projected

benefits from their implementation can be fully realized. One of the major reasons for

large deviation in plan execution is the low level of internal resource mobilization and

poor functioning of public sector undertakings such the State Electricity Board, the State

Transport Corporation. The Eleventh Plan will make a concerted effort to mobilise

internal resources substantially and enhance the internal accounts of the PSU so that they

are no longer a drain on the budgetary resources of the State; rather, they make a positive

contribution to the State excheqoer. While it is necessary to provide adequate and timely

allocation of resources for Plan programmes, it is imperative to translate them into

achievement. For this, a proper budgetary check in the form of an outcome budget is

sought to be introduced.

3. OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMMES

AGRICULTURE, IRRIGATION & WATER MANAGEMENT

3.1 Agriculture and allied activities form the core of Bihar's economy. About 90

percent of the State's population lives in rural areas, and more than three quarters of the

workforce is employed in agriculture. In 2006-07, the contribution of agriculture and

allied activities to the State Domestic Product was 29.26 percent. Although this is a

reduction from the level of 48 percent in 1980, it remains among the highest in the

country. In 2002-03, the first year of the Tenth Plan, the country witnessed one of the

most severe droughts. However, Bihar agriculture showed its strength of resilience and

the foodgrain production declined only marginally from 116.82 lakh MT in 2001-02 to

110.85 lakh MT in 2002-03. During 2003-04, food grain production increased to 112.11

lakh MT. However, food grains production steeply declined to 79.6 lakh MT in 2004-05

and to 81.12 lakh MT in 2005-06. The interim assessment for the year 2006-07 is

showing signs of renewed interest in agriculture and foodgrain production is estimated at

112.07 lakh MT. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Macro Management Mode (90:10)

of agriculture was implemented in all the five years of the Tenth Plan. The objective of

the scheme has been to increase crop production, particularly, cereals, sugarcane and

jute, by increasing per hectare productivity of crops. Emphasis has been given to

increasing seed replacement rate, promotion of use of modern farm implements and

adoption of package of practices by the farmers. Effective transfer of technology has been

promoted through crop demonstration, farmers' training and farmers' fair. To increase the

production of oilseed, pulses, maize and palm oil crops, the Centrally Sponsored Scheme

of ISOPOM (75:25) is being implemented since 2004-05. Maize has been a big success

and its per hectare productivity in the State is above the National average. The objective

of the scheme has been to increase the supply of high yielding varieties, timely control of

diseases and pests, improving water use efficiency and effective transfer of technology.

The Government of India has launched the Jute Technology Mission programme since

2006-07. The objective of the programme is to increase the production and productivity

of jute crop besides improving the quality of jute fibre. As envisaged, the programme will

be implemented on 90:10 basis with 90 percent Central share. The Agro Climatic Zone II

of the Kosi region is the potential area for jute cultivation.

3.2 Crop diversification is an important strategy to be adopted for the Eleventh Plan.

While fruits and vegetables occupy 10 per cent of the gross cropped area, they account

for 50 per cent of the income from farming. The area under litchi, mango, banana, guava

and makhana will be increased after identification of the area suited for the crop.

Vegetable cultivation will be promoted to areas with assured sources of irrigation. Area

under sugarcane cultivation will be substantially stepped up.

3.3 In order to achieve the target rate of growth in the Evelenth Plan, balanced and

integrated fertiliser use will be promoted to achieve higher productivity on a sustained

basis. Soil testing infrastructure will be extended to the block level and agro-clinics will

be encouraged to bring soil testing services to the farmers. Chemical pesticides will be

replaced by vigorous promotion of Integrated Pest Management approach. Organic

farming will be encouraged and vermiculture technology will reach every farmer.

Agricultural mechanisation will be promoted for timely sowing, harvesting and post-

harvest activities. Priority will be given to zero-tillage machines, raised bed plants, small

combine harvesters, mobile harvesting units for orchards etc.

3.4 Agriculture in the State functions under several co-existing, overlapping extension

system which will be replaced by a new integrated system. Group approach to extension

for formation of Farmer Experts Groups (FEG) and Self Help Groups (SHG) will be

encouraged. Marketing linkages supported by modern marketing practices, including

introduction of grading, post-harvest management, cold chains will be developed along

with modern agricultural markets with private initiatives and cooperatives and

introduction of contract farming. Risk from natural disasters will be minimised through

appropriate crop technology and extension of crop insurance to all farmers including

horticulturists. Strategies for major foodgrains would include propagation of Rice

Intensification Technology, popularization of hybrid varieties of maize, development of

short and medium duration varieties of wheat, rehabilitation of gram in Agro-Climatic

Zone-I after the harvest of rice, popularization of inter-cropping of mustard and

rejuvenation of old orchards etc.

3.5 Animal Husbandry and its allied activities such as poultry farming, fisheries etc.

have a great potential to reduce rural poverty. The Eleventh Plan will lay greater

emphasis on the promotion of this sector in view of its role in increasing income of the

rural people. The programmes under the Plan would include upgrading healthcare

services by opening new veterinary hospitals, dispensaries and polyclinics so that the

State meets the norm of one veterinary hospital for every 5000 livestock. The Institute of

Animal Health and Production, Patna will be modernized and strengthened to improve

the quality of bacterial and viral vaccines produced. In order to regulate and monitor the

production, processing, storage, transport, marketing and quality control of animal

protein and animal feed, a veterinary public health service will be established. The

Eleventh Plan will lay emphasis on promoting small units in poultry, piggery and dairy

for rural families below poverty line. In order to make dairying a more income generating

occupation, it is essential to increase the productivity of milch animals and to reduce the

cost of production of milk. This will be done by providing the farmers with improved

breeds, better feed and healthcare facilities, strengthening the co-operative and marketing

chains, better management of stock and increasing capacity of the processing units.

3.6 Irrigation is a crucial input for agricultural development and hence it has received

top priority in the Plan. Bihar is primarily an agricultural State and judicious water

management is called for maximising benefit derived from every single drop of available

water. After bifurcation of the State, a paradigm shift in the planning and execution of the

water resources sector of the State is called for, because no big reservoirs can be

constructed in the state without the help and approval of other States. The National

Development Council has resolved that agricultural development strategies must be

reoriented to meet the needs of the farmers and called upon the Central and State

Governments to evolve a strategy to rejuvenate agriculture. The NDC reaffirmed its

commitment to achieve 4 per cent annual growth in the Agriculture sector during the

Eleventh Plan. To achieve this 4 per cent National target, NDC has accorded top priority

to complete all on-going schemes particularly those sponsored under AIBP. Bihar has

planned to complete all AIBP sponsored on-going schemes, namely, Sone Modernisation

Scheme, Durgawati Reservoir Scheme, Western Kosi Irrigation Scheme by 2008-09.

Two more schemes, namely, Bateshwar Sthan Pump Canal Scheme and Punpun Barrage

Scheme are proposed to be included under AIBP. These two schemes would be

completed by 2008-09 if included under AIBP by the Central Government. The NDC

resolution also suggests that modernisation schemes and inter linking of river basins

within the State should be taken up under AIBP Modernisation schemes. Modernisation

of Chandan Reservoir Scheme and Badua Reservoir scheme have been proposed to be

included under AIBP. Schemes of inter-linking of river basins within the State, namely,

Ghaghra-Gandak and Bagmati-Adhawara Group interlinking schemes have also been

proposed to be included under AIBP. Apart from AIBP-sponsored schemes, other on-

going, ERM and new schemes run under NABARD, State Plan and RSVY are targeted to

be completed in the Eleventh Plan period. Bihar has created 28.33 lakh hec. irrigation

potential till the end of the Tenth Plan through Major and Medium Irrigation projects

against the ultimate irrigation potential of 53.33 lakh hec. In the Eleventh Plan the State

has planned to create an additional irrigation potential of 2.94 Lakh hec. through on-

going schemes and 8.80 lakh hec. through new schemes. Through interlinking schemes of

river basins within the State, Bihar has planned to create an additional irrigation potential

of 3.87 lakh hec. In this way an aggregate additional potential of 15.61 lakh hectares will

be created through Major and Medium Irrigation schemes.

3.7 Minor irrigation includes all surface and groundwater irrigation schemes covering

a cultivable command area up to 2000 hectares and includes minor surface water-flow

irrigation schemes, surface water-lift irrigation, open wells and tube wells. The surface

irrigation schemes under Minor Irrigation are mainly through storage and diversion of

surface water sources of small rivers, streams, water bodies like Ahar & Pynes etc. The

State Government is implementing their execution mainly through NABARD

RIDF(Rural Infrastructure Development Fund) loans. The RIDF schemes are to be

executed within three years. Hence, cost over-run of M.I. surface schemes is not a

common phenomenon. Most of the schemes are being executed within a time frame of

one to three years. In the Eleventh Plan, Rural Infrastructure Development Fund from

NABARD will be used for the execution of important surface schemes, Minor Water

Resources Department has planned for the creation of additional potential of 80,000

hectares by completion of surface schemes under RIDF and Repair, Renovation and

Restoration of water bodies (Ahar & Pynes) under Bharat Nirman Programme during the

first two years of the Eleventh Plan. Ground water exploitation of the State is about 45 to

50 per cent of the annual replenishable ground water resources on an average. There is no

immediate threat of critical or over exploited area in the State. The ultimate potential of

annually replenishable ground water resources reserved for irrigation is 48.57 lakh hec.

Additional of about 30 lakh hectares is expected to be created by 2006-07. An additional

potential of 13.84 lakh hectares is proposed to be created by the end of the Eleventh Plan,

of which ground water sources will account for 10.87 lakh hectares and surface water

sources 1.97 lakh hectares.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

3.8 One of the objectives of the Eleventh Plan in the State is the removal of poverty

and improving the quality of life of the people. While rural poverty has declined over the

years, the number of rural poor is still higher. It is well recognized that poverty can be

effectively eradicated, if the poor can be actively involved in the growth process.

Therefore, poverty alleviation programmes need to be based on approaches of

empowerment of the poor and the Panchayati Raj plays an important role in this

endeavour. Bihar has no significant rural development schemes of its own and has to

depend on Centrally financed schemes heavily. The Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarojgar

Yojana assist the families to bring them above the poverty line by organising them into

Self Help Groups through the process of training and capacity building through provision

of income generating assets by means of a mix of bank credit and government subsidy.

3.9 The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, which initially covered only

23 districts of Bihar, have been extended to all the 38 districts of the State with the

beginning of the Eleventh Plan i.e. Ist April 2007. Under this scheme, 100 days of

guaranteed wage employment in a financial year is to be provided to every registered

rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work. The main

objective of the scheme is to provide livelihood security, thereby preventing their distress

migration and in the process, creating durable assets to strengthen rural infrastructure.

3.10 Under the Indira Awas Yojana, operative in the State since 1985, dwelling units

free of cost are provided to the Schedule Castes, Schedule Tribes, freed bonded labourers

and others living below poverty line in the rural areas. From 1995-96, the IAY benefits

have been extended to the widows or next of kin of defence personnel killed in action. To

ensure priority to weaker sections, the coverage of non-SC and ST population has been

restricted to 40 per cent of IAY allocation. The ceiling on construction assistance was

revised on the 1st April,2004 and is presently set at Rs. 25,000/- per unit for the plain

areas and Rs. 27,500/0 for the hilly and difficult areas. Since there was an acute need for

upgrading of unserviceable kutcha house in rural areas, it has been stipulated, from the Ist

April 2004, that upto 20 percent of the total funds can be utilised for conversion of

unserviceable kutcha house into pucca/semi-pucca house and for providing subsidy to the

beneficiary availing loan under the Credit-cum-Subsidy scheme. Fund allocation of these

two schemes i.e. IAY Upgrading and Credit-cum-Subsidy Scheme has been modified

now. From 2005-06 onwards, the allocation criteria have been modified to assign 75

percent weightage to housing shortage and 25 per cent to poverty ratio for State level

allocation. Further, the allocation amongst districts is made, giving 75 per cent weightage

to housing shortage and 25 per cent weightage to SC/ST population.

3.11 Population growth and consequent influx into the urban areas have led to

considerable stress on urban infrastructure and services. Using per capita water supply as

a surrogate variable for urban amenities, Bihar, with 61 litres/day is woefully below the

National average of 142 litres/day. Urban poverty in Bihar, at 32.91 per cent is much

above the National average of 23.62 per cent. Urban population is concentrated in only a

few districts like Patna, Nalanda, Munger and Bhagalpur, while rest of the State shows

little sign of what might be called "urbanisation process". More important is the fact that

during 1991-2001 the rate of urban population growth was negative (-2.68 per cent

annually). The per capita expenditure on core municipal services is Rs. 104 only as

against Rs. 1750 in Maharashtra. Urban institutions and in particular, the Urban Local

Bodies are in a state of stagnation and neglect. Urban literacy is only 64.53 per cent as

against the all India average of 70.10 percent. The State Government is committed to

eradicate manual scavenging from the State. In the National Plan formulated by the

Government of India 2,00,230 dry latrines are to be converted to wet latrines in the State

of Bihar. Therefore, the State Government is giving top priority to ending this pernicious

practice and for the conversion of dry latrines. The 12th Finance Commission has

recommended a sum of Rs. 180.00 crore for meeting the specific requirements of Urban

Local Bodies from 2005-06 to 2009-10 for Water Supply, Drainage, Sewerage and other

works related to cleanliness. Under this scheme, all the Divisional towns have been taken

up. For the infrastructure development of towns in the State, schemes have been initiated

under Centrally Sponsored Schemes including the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban

Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme of Small &

Medium Towns (UIDSSMT), Integrated Development Scheme of Small & Medium

Towns (IDSSMT), Integrated Housing & Slum Development Programme(IHSDP).

National Information System has been established with the assistance of the Central

Government. Under this Centrally Sponsored Scheme, Ara, Patna, Muzaffarpur,

Bhagalpur and Darbhanga towns have been included.

3.12 The objective of inclusive growth in the Eleventh Plan will require that sufficient

number of jobs are created both in the rural and urban areas to absorb the number of new

entrants in the work force. The Planning Commission has estimated on the basis of

elasticity of employment with respect to GSDP for the period 1993-94 to 2004-05 that

49.37 lakh additional jobs are likely to be created. Assuming that labour force

participation rate remains constant at the 2004-05 level, additional jobs required to be

created to clear the backlog and to absorb the new entrants has been estimated at 57.78

lakh, which would leave around 8.41 lakh unemployed at the end of the Eleventh Plan. In

order to tackle the mounting problem of unemployment, there is a need to improve the

competitiveness of the manufacturing sector. While improving infrastructure for

attracting private investment in manufacturing, focus will be given to flexibility in the

application of labour laws, ensuring minimum wages, abolition of child labour,

elimination of gender inequality and upgrading skills through periodic training.

3.13 The Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) continues to be the major

intervention for the nutritional development of the young children, pregnant women and

lactating mothers. Under Nutrition Component of the State Plan, there is a provision of

Rs. 2.00 per day per child in the age-group of 0 to 6 years, Rs. 2.30 per day per P&L

Woman and Rs. 2.70 per day per severely malnourished child in the age group of 6

months to 3 years. There is a provision of nutrition for 80 children, 16 P&L women and 3

adolescent girls at each Anganwadi Centre for 300 days in a year. At present, there are

60,587 AWCs under 393 projects. 19,602 AWCs have been added under newly

sanctioned 139 projects of the State at the end of the financial year 2006-07. Besides, 113

AWCs are also being sanctioned under 5 new projects of the State in the current financial

year 2007-08.

3.14 Improvement in the health status of the people apart from being an end in itself,

brings about a direct impact on productivity and economic growth. Recognising this fact,

the State Government, as part of the programmes in the Eleventh Plan will reorganise and

restructure public healthcare system and strengthen interventions for management of

communicable and non-communicable diseases. Side by side, the role of the private

sector and NGOs in providing basic health care facilities will be encouraged. Health

delivery system in the State has been poor. In 2003-04, complete immunization in the

State was only 11 per cent, as against the National average of 54 per cent and the MMR

was 452 per lakh live births, as against the National average of 407. The Eleventh Plan

will lay emphasis on building up health infrastructures to meet the National norms. In

order to meet the healthcare needs, 1544 new sub-centres, 331 new PHCs, 201 CHCs and

25 First Referral Units(FRUs) will be constructed and operationalised in each financial

year of the Eleventh Plan. The State will seek cooperation of PRIs in operationalising

Additional Primary Health Centres. Public Private Partnership will be encouraged in

pathology, radiology, maintenance of hospital premises, ambulance services etc. The

Panchayati Raj Institutions and local community will be made a part of hospital

management. Other major programmes of health planning are reduction of Kala-a-Zar

mortality rate by 100 percent, reduction of Leprosy Prevalence Rate to 1 per 10,000,

maintaining 85 percent cure rate for TB-DOT and combating the growing menace of

HIV/AIDS. The establishment of 3 new Medical Colleges are also in progress.

3.15 The State Government has accorded highest priority to education, particularly,

primary education. The vehicle at present for providing primary education to all children

is a comprehensive programme called the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA). This flagship

programme of the Government of India is implemented by the State Government through

district level decentralised management framework involving Local Bodies. It envisages

free and compulsory education for all children in the age group 6-14.

3.16 In Bihar, the problem of drop-outs has mainly been due to the absence of

adequate number of schools and teachers. With the objective to bring all out-of-school

children into school and to improve the teacher-pupil ratio to raise it to the National norm

of 1:40, the State has initiated the process to fill up the vacancies of the teachers,

calculated on the basis of norms referred to above, totalling 2.36 lakh elementary and

secondary school teachers. In addition, 15,000 new schools are to be opened during the

Plan period to provide a school to every habitation in the vicinity. The State Government

has also chalked out a plan to streamline the Mid-day Meal Programme. The policy

decisions include sparing teachers from the management of the scheme and transferring

its running to mothers' committees, Self Help Groups and NGOs.

3.17 The major issues in the field of university and higher education relate to

autonomy and accountability. The Department of Higher Education has been assigned the

task of strengthening and facilitating developmental support to the institutions of higher

education in the State. Besides, it also helps to develop research institutions and linguistic

academies, so that they could contribute to the holistic development of education in the

State. Chankya National Law University has been established, which requires

strengthening. The University of Nalanda has been sanctioned, to be developed as an

international centre of education. Aryabhatta Professional University has been proposed

to facilitate private investment in the technical and professional courses. A Corpus fund

has been established in the Department of Higher Education to provide funds to different

colleges and universities for repair/renovation work of the existing buildings, etc. and

also for electrification and sanitary work, out of the interest accrued from the capital

money.

ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE

3.18 Bihar lags for behind the country's level industrial development. The situation has

all the more worsened with the bifurcation of the State. Annual Survey of Industries data

relating to 2003-04 reveals that only 1.15 per cent of the number of factories of the

country is located in Bihar employing 0.70 per cent of the fixed capital. Capital

investment is low due to lower percentage of Central sector investment and very low

level of private sector investments as evident from the low level of gross capital

formation in Bihar. Gross Value Added of industries in Bihar forms only 0.41 per cent of

that of the country.

3.19 The Eleventh Plan has postulated a growth rate of 11 percent for the Industry

Sector. Accordingly, the State will aim at providing a well-structured, transparent and

enabling environment for industrial growth by simplifying rules, regulations, procedures,

providing industrial infrastructures such as land banks and industrial estates and

improving skills of industrial manpower. The State Government will simplify labour

laws and clearance procedures for setting up industries, set up a land bank to meet the

requirement of land, create basic facilities at par with international benchmark and

encourage PPPs. The main plank of industrial development strategy would be

development of infrastructure. The role of the public sector would be primarily

facilitative and public sector outlay will be increased sufficiently to play this role. Private

sector will be encouraged to play a much bigger role to liberate medium and small

Enterprises (MSE) from the inspector Raj, A forum named Udyog Mitra has been

established where entrepreneurs are invited for sorting out their problems through

discussion directly with the decision makers in order to facilitate implementation of the

potential projects. Single Window Clearance Act, 2006 has been also notified. Cluster

approach will be needed in an enabling environment and to increase viability, capacity

building, infrastructure and support services for symbolic sensitisation, cluster based

projects have been started in the MSE sector in a few selected districts of the State. In this

way, the State Government has initiated various measures to fill up the gap in

infrastructure, credit, design and marketing. In this context, the State Government is

trying its best to develop the model of Public Private Partnership. Under this model, E-

governance report has been started and IL&FS is assisting the State Government as

coordinator.

3.20 Road connectivity is the basic infrastructural requirement for industrial

development. The development of this sector is the most important factor for economic

growth. The road network opens up access to services and joins the production centres to

the markets. The existing road network in Bihar is thoroughly inadequate in comparison

with the National average. While growth in road network in the country since 1990 is

99.6 percent, the same in the case of Bihar is only 27.7 percent. On the other hand, the

growth in the number of motor vehicles in the country has been by 197 percent since

1990, the same for Bihar is 239 per cent. Thus, it is evident that growth of road network

in Bihar has not matched the increase in traffic volumes. The strategic plan is to construct

four-lane for all the corridors which connect all the places important from the

administrative, economic or tourism point of view. Upgrading of 2025 kms of the State

Highways under State Highway Development Programme(SHDP-I) has been taken up

under the Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana (RSVY) for which an outlay of Rs. 3000 crore has

been earmarked. The State Government has declared more than 1500 kms of State Roads

as State Highways in the financial years 2006-07 and 2007-08. These roads are to be

upgraded to 2-lane. The work of preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) is

complete. The Government of Bihar has approached the Asian Development Bank for

funding the upgrading of these roads. Carriageway of majority of MDRs are of 3.05 mtrs

to 3.50 mtrs wide. This width is now totally inadequate. The State Government has

decided to upgrade all 7,714 kms of Major District Roads (MRDs) to Intermediate Lane

standards during the Eleventh Plan period. The Ganges crosses the entire breadth of the

State (approx. 400 kms) but there are only four bridges on the Ganges. For speedy

development of the State there should be at least one bridge at the interval of every 50 km

along the major rivers. The State Government proposes construction of major bridges on

unbridged gaps over major rivers. Conversion/rehabilitation/widening of old and

damaged bridges on SH has been taken up in SHDP.

3.21 A new scheme named Mukhyamantri Setu Nirman Yojana has been launched to

plug the gaps in rural road connectivity. On all the rural roads, where there is a need for

bridge or big culvert, they have been taken up under this scheme. It is a supplementary

scheme in addition to all the on-going schemes of rural road construction. The Bihar

Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam has been revived and activated for the purpose.

3.22 Under the Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojana all the unconnected habitation

having a population more than 1000 have to be provided with all-weather road

connectivity in a time-bound manner. Under this scheme, habitations having population

below 1000 have not been covered. The State Government has taken up a new scheme

called Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak Yojana to connect all the villages having a

population of 500-999 in the rural areas.

3.23 Bihar is extremely deficient in power. Power is a critical input for achieving the

targeted growth of SDP. After the reorganisation of the State, the Bihar State Electricity

Board was left with only two power generation units. - the Barauni Thermal Power

Station having a generating capacity (2x50+2x110) MW and the Muzaffarpur Thermal

Power Station having a generating capacity of (2x110)MW. The Government has handed

over the MTPS to a joint sector company of the NTPC and BSEB. The Government has

identified sites and completed the groundwork, for the setting up of thermal generation

stations, either on the basis of partnership with the CPSUs like NTPC or by inviting

tariff-based competitive bids from private developers. Transmission is conceived as an

independent entity under the Electricity Act 2003.

3.24 The State Government has sped up the development of the process of

transmission through the Powergrid Corporation of India under Rashtriya Sam Vikas

Yojana (RSVY). For strengthening the system in North Bihar, in the first phase, 18 new

grid substations have been constructed and 875 kms of transmission line have been laid,

at the cost of Rs. 552 crore. Further augmentation of strengthening of transmission has

been assessed jointly by CEA, PGCIL and BSEB at Rs. 1780 crore, Execution of this

work is being undertaken in two parts i.e. Part-I and Part-II under Transmission Phase-II.

3.25 The real challenge of reforms in Bihar's Power Sector lies in improving the

efficiency of distribution. According to the report submitted by M/s ICRA limited to the

Power Finance Corporation Limited, AT & C loss of Bihar State Electricity Board is as

high as 48 per cent. In the last two years, there has been some improvement in this

regard. The AT & C losses are expected to come down further with the restructuring of

the BSEB as provided in the Electricity Act 2003. Accelerated Power Development &

Reform Programme has been taken up for strengthening of the distribution system to

improve the quality of supply and to reduce AT & C losses. Under APDRP, 12 circles out

of 16 circles have been covered. For the remaining 4 circles, DPRs have been prepared

and are being submitted to the Ministry of Power for sanction. Installation of consumer

and feeder metering, re-conductoring of over loaded 33 KV and 11 KV lines, R&M of

33/11 KV Power Sub-Stations, construction of New Power Sub-Stations, augmentation

and installation of Distribution Transformers, R&M of Distribution Transformers,

computerisation and DMS-SCADA in PESU have been introduced, utilising Rs. 423.30

crore, out of the total sanctioned amount of Rs. 866 crore. The Central Government will

share 50 per cent of the total cost in the form of 25 per cent grant and 25 per cent loan

and the balance 50 per cent will be arranged by the BSEB from financial institutions.

ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS

3.26 The forest cover in the State (having a crown density over 10 per cent) as per the

State of Forests Report,2003, prepared by the Forest Survey of India is 5,558 sq.km.

which works out to 5.90 per cent of the total geographical area. The Government of India

has fixed a target of achieving 33 per cent tree cover in the country by the end of the

Eleventh Plan. As Bihar is predominantly a plain state, it is proposed to bring 20 per cent

of the total area under tree cover. This means raising the area under tree cover to 18,832

sq.km. . As the notified forest area is only 6,473 sq. km, it is necessary to bring 12,359

sq. km. of non forest land under tree cover. However, the target of bringing 12,799 sq.

km. of land outside forests under tree cover is proposed to be achieved over the next

twenty years. This will entail bringing an average of about 640 sq. km of land under tree

cover annually. To achieve this target, it will be necessary to plant more than crore

seedlings in private lands annually. To encourage interest among students, a scheme

called Kshatra Vriksharopan Yojana has been launched. It provides for monetary

incentive for each plant saved for three years.

MONITORABLE TARGETS

3.27 Keeping in view that the growth of GDP is not an end in itself, but only a means

to an end, Bihar has also fixed monitorable Socio-Economic Targets for 11th

Plan. It

envisages to reflect the multi-dimensional economic and social objectives of inclusive

growth. To ensure efficient and timely implementation of the projects and programmes.

21 monitorable targets have been identified. The Eleventh Plan lays great stress on

attaining these ambitious targets to achieve the targeted over-all growth.

The 21 State Targets

Twenty one targets at the state level fall in six major categories. The six categories are

(a) Income and Poverty

(b) Education

(c) Health

(d) Women and Children

(e) Infrastructure and

(f) Environment

The targets in each of these categories are given below.

(ii) To attain WHO standards of air quality in all major cities by 2011-12

(iii) To treat all urban waste water by 2011-12 to clean river waters.

SIZE OF THE ELEVENTH PLAN

3.28 The total public sector outlay in the Eleventh Plan of Bihar has been estimated at

60,631 crore by Planning Commission. State Government has provided additional outlay

in 11th Five Year Plan for developing infrastructures viz., Road, Bridges, Power,

Irrigation, Flood Control, Education, Social Welfare & Urban Development. Therefore

the size of 11th Five Year Plan has been estimated to be Rs. 76481.78 Crore.

Chapter 2

Financial Resources & Public Sector Outlays

2.1 Financing the Eleventh Plan

1. The Eleventh Plan mantra of ‗all-inclusive growth at an accelerated pace,

accompanied by improved delivery of social services‘ calls for a substantial increase in

the plan outlay. In order to attain the plan objectives, large investments would be needed

in the agriculture and allied sectors, industry, irrigation and water management. Huge

injections of capital are required in the infrastructure sectors too as the current levels are

far below the desired ones. Similarly, to achieve the goal of inclusive growth and ensure

an appreciable improvement in the human development index, the allocation for welfare,

education, health and rural development must be stepped up significantly.

The Tenth Plan

2. To gauge the magnitude of the task, it would be useful to examine plan

expenditures during the Tenth Plan period (2002-07). Public investment of Rs 24,897

crores (current prices) had been envisaged for the Tenth Plan. Against this, total

expenditure was 23,493.52 crore. There was a quantum jump in expenditure in 2006-07,

the final year of the plan, which at Rs 8,631.01 crore was 86.8% higher than the previous

year‘s expenditure.

3. Financing the Tenth Plan had been envisaged with Balance from Current

Revenues (BCR) of Rs (-)1,800.05 crore (see Table 1). A negative BCR meant that the

state‘s revenues were not expected to make any contribution to financing the plan. This

indeed was the case during the first half of the plan period. However, the annual BCR

turned positive towards the end of the plan, the provisional figure for 2006-07 being Rs

3,000.06 crore. This was the result of a strong buoyancy in tax revenues in 2006-07

(state‘s tax revenue grew at 13.28% and its share in central taxes grew at 27.54%), as

well as due to a jump in the non-plan grants from the centre.

4. Table 2 below gives an abstract of the scheme of financing of the Tenth Plan. It

would be observed that there was a marginal shortfall in central assistance (Rs 358.14

crore) leading to a higher borrowing level (Rs 8,948.16 crore).

5. To sum up, in spite of a robust revenue performance in the later half of the plan

period, enough surpluses could not be generated to fund plan schemes. The state,

therefore, had to rely heavily on borrowings in addition to central assistance to finance

plan activities.

Financing Scheme of the Eleventh Plan

6. As stated above, the financing requirements of the Eleventh Plan would be far

higher than that of the Tenth Plan. The size of the Annual Plan 2007-08 has been pegged

at Rs. 10,200.00 crore, representing a step-up of 23.6% over Annual Plan 2006-07.

Similar increases are anticipated during the remaining period of the Eleventh Plan. Based

on the sectoral analyses in this document, the size of the Eleventh Plan has been

estimated at Rs 60,665.00 crore, almost three times higher than the Tenth Plan.

8. Considering the strong tax buoyancy in recent years and its continuing trend in

the current year, it would not be unrealistic to assume that revenue realisation during the

Eleventh Plan would outstrip revenue expenditure, leaving surpluses that could be used to

finance plan schemes. The projections, therefore, include a sizeable BCR for every year

of the Plan. The assumptions behind these estimates are as follows:

The share of central taxes is estimated to grow at 22% per annum. This is a rather

conservative estimate as central revenues this year are reported to be 40% higher

than the previous year.

A growth rate of 16.22% has been taken for the state‘s own tax revenues, which is

well within the realm of possibility since annual growth during the 2006-07 was

well above 13%.

The non-tax revenue of the state is projected to grow at 3% per annum.

The average annual rate of growth of non-plan revenue expenditure has been

taken to be 11.4%. The following significant items are included in the non-plan

expenditure projections:

i) Resource gap funding for Bihar State Electricity Board amounting to Rs 3,600

crore at Rs 60 crore per month.

ii) Requirement of funds to meet the expenditure over the anticipated increase in

the salary bill following the implementation of the Pay Commission

recommendations has been included (Rs 4,222.42 crore).

iii) The share of state revenues likely to be devolved to panchayati raj institutions

and urban local bodies on the basis of the recommendations of the State

Finance Commission has been included.

iv) Anticipated expenditure over new appointments during the Plan period has

been accounted for. This includes the following posts: assistant engineers

(1,619), deputy collectors (586), veterinary doctors (738), deputy

superintendents of police (71), CDPOs (351), female supervisors (2,795),

agriculture personnel (1,000), police sub-inspectors (2,191), police constables

(10,629), female constables (1,000), judicial magistrates (318), stenos in High

Court (300).

9. Based on the above assumptions, the BCR projection for the Eleventh Plan is

shown in Table 4.

10. Thus, surplus from the revenues would fund more than 53% of the Eleventh Plan.

The remaining requirement would be met largely through central assistance

(Rs 18,822 crore–21%) and borrowings (Rs 16,129.27 crore–22%). The limits of

borrowing would be dictated by the FRBM targets. It would be obligatory for the state to

restrict its fiscal deficit to 3% of GSDP beginning from 2008-09. Accordingly, the

scheme of financing includes a borrowing programme that is consistent with the FRBM

stipulations.

Human and Social Development

3.1 Primary and Adult Education

Education is a critical input in Human Resource development and is essential for

socio-economic growth of the country. Successful transition from subsistence agriculture

to modern agriculture, from industry to higher technology, from manufacturing to

provision of services, all depends on the human capital; and the quality of human capital

depends to a large extent on investment in the social sector including education. The

major indicator of socio- economic development viz the growth rate of economy, birth

rate, death rate , infant mortality rate and literacy rate are interconnected but the literacy

rate has been the major determinant of the rise or fall in the rate of other indicators. The

conclusion that literacy and education of women lead to a higher pace of population

control and to greater economic productivity has awakened the world to the need to focus

upon literacy and elementary education programme not simply a matter of social justice

but have pertinently as a matter of economic growth , social well- being and social

stability.

Review of progress during 10th

plan:-

2. The universalisation of Elementary Education and total literacy were the major

aims and objective of primary and Adult Education in the 10th

five year plan (2002-07).

All the central and state schemes during the 10th

plan period aimed at universalisation of

Elementary Education and total literacy. In accordance with the constitutional

commitment to ensure free and compulsory education for all children up to the age of 14

years, provision of universal elementary education has been a salient feature of National

as well as state policies. A number of schemes and programmes were launched in

pursuance of these policies and programme of Action in Bihar. These include District

Primary Education Programme (DPEP), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), UNICEF

supported programme like SPEED and Total Literacy Campaign.DPEP gave a foundation

and showed a new approach to universalisation of elementary education, but it was pilot

in nature and was implemented in a few districts. This brought better community

participation in management of elementary education. SSA being a more comprehensive

programme and with clear measurable goals started in 2002 in Bihar. As the capacity of

the state was low, the utilization of fund under this scheme was low in earlier years. But

it helped in developing better management infrastructure from state level to school level

for elementary education. Capacity for utilization of fund increased. Infrastructural gaps

started reducing. Enrollment and retention improved. Bihar had a huge number of out of

school children. A significant reduction in out of school children took place. Similarily

gender and social gaps in schools reduced. However the student-teacher ratio and student

class room ratio continued to be major problem.

3. The first goal set by 10th

Five year plan was to ensure that all children are enrolled

in schools or other alternatives by 2003. The steep reduction in the out of school children

took place but the set goal of universalisation could not be achieved. Even through there

has been substantial improvement in the participation level of children in primary schools

in the 10th

plan period , this will have a positive impact only when coupled with high

retention and completion rates. The reduction in the drop out rate during 10th

plan period

is marginal and the situation is move grave in respect to upper primary stage. Though

many positive changes occurred in the area of elementary education, secondary and

higher education did not see comparable change. Investment in these sectors remained

low and expansion was insignificant. Some steps for improving infrastructure did take

place and examination system was improved. Delinking of intermediate education from

colleges was started. Steps for upgrading secondary schools to intermediate (+2) level

were taken. In higher education academic calendar was introduced and enforced in all

universities. Payment of university and college teachers was regularized and they started

getting their salary on 1st of every month. Many vocational courses were started.

However infrastructure development of the colleges required much bigger investment.

Universities and colleges were advised to access more of UGC fund.

4. The State Government has accorded highest priority to elementary education. The

main vehicle at present for providing elementary education to all children is a

comprehensives programme called Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). This flagship

programme of the Government of India is implemented in partnership with the State

Government through district level decentralized management framework involving local

bodies. It envisages free and compulsory education for all children in the age group 6-14.

SSA encompasses all activities relating to school education viz., providing physical

infrastructure, free text books for children, encouraging the enrollement of girl students,

teacher education and their training, e.t.c.

5. Objecive of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA).

All children in school, Education Guarantee Centre, Alternative School,

Back to School Camp by 2003.

All children complete five years of primary schooling by 2007.

All children complete eight years of schooling by 2010.

Focus on primary education of satisfactory quality with emphasis on

education for life.

Bridge all gender and social category gap at primary education level by

2010.

Universal retention by 2010.

6. Education indices for Bihar has been abysmally low as compared to the national

average. The Gross Enrollment ratio (GER) for the year 2002-03 in the case of children

in the age group of 6-14, was 56 as compared to the National average of 82.5, with a

wide gender gap. The dropout rate is equally high. Out of every hundred children, 59 do

not complete grade V and 78 fail to reach grade VIII. The national figure of the dropout

at the two states is 31 and 52 percent.

Review of the 10th

Plan and Targets for 11th

Plan

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE DURING TENTH PLAN:

Against the 10th

Plan revised outlay of Rs. 184.65 crore for Primary and Adult

Education, the expenditure during 10 th Plan period works out to Rs. 184.80 crore

(100.08%). For Secondary Education, the expenditure incurred during the 10th

Plan was

166.23 crore as against revised outlay of Rs. 147.27 crore. The expenditure incurred for

Higher Education during the same period was 60.28 crore against revised outlay of Rs.

64.23 crore.

7. The State has taken unprecedented decision to appoint 2.36 lakh elementary and

secondary school teachers to clear entire backlog of vacancies and bring all out-of-school

children into the elementary school. The policy decision is specifically aimed at bringing

teacher pupil ratio to the national norm of 1:40. Teacher‘s positions (60,000) have been

created for schooling 24 lakh out-of-school children, largely employed as domestic

servants, in dhabas, hotels, and restaurants e.t.c. The system of para-teachers or contract

teachers has been abolished to secure equality and social justice in the school system. The

recruitment has been decentralized and is being done by Panchayati Raj Institution

(PRIs). Because of gradual shift to the PRIs and with a combination of liberal service

condition, the new recruits are being offered consolidated salaries to enable the state

government to undertake huge expansion in the teacher‘s force. In addition to recruitment

of teachers, 15000 new schools are being opened after abolishing 14000 Learning or EGS

centres. The concept of building a ‗school‘ and not adding classrooms as under the SSA

has been introduced and the programme of ―Mukhya Mantri Samagra Vidyalaya Vikas‖

has been launched. For this programme, the state has provided funds from its budget for

major repairs and improvement of school buildings, facilities for games and sports and

construction of boundary walls. Provision of toilets, drinking water, kitchen sheds, etc. is

being covered under schemes of different departments. This is yet another scheme though

through addressing the question of equality and social justice in the school system.

Dropout has been a major challenge at the national level, and Bihar is no exception to it.

In Bihar, dropouts have been largely due to absence of adequate number of schools and

teachers for over a decade or so. Wherever schools were available, teachers were engaged

in several non-teaching activities, or were dragged into courts for service related

matters. These factors are being addressed and will continue to be done during the

Eleventh Plan. In addition, the state government has launched a scheme ― Mukhya Mantri

Balika Poshak Yojna‖ in which all girl student of class V to VIII are being provided

money for purchasing school uniform and stationary. This scheme should reduce

dropouts particularly of girls at upper primary level. While state government mobilized

recourses this year, it will need assistance for sustaining it during the Eleventh Plan.

8. Early Childcare and Education (or ECCE) is an essential stepping-stone for

preparing young children for 8 years of free and compulsory education mandated by

constitution under Article 21A. The state‘s Social Welfare Department has negotiated

with the NEBARD for funding the construction of 80,000 ECCE centres in and around

primary schools. If the decision is taken at the central level to transfer ECCE part from

ICDS to education and cover it under SSA, it would be possible to make all the 80,000

centres operational during the Eleventh Plan and appoint well trained nursery teachers at

these centres during the Eleventh Plan. Creches would need to be arranged in schools

near worksites, so that working parents might leave their children and girls are not

detained in the house for taking care of young siblings. This would facilitate schooling of

girl students. For schooling of out of school children two- pronged approach has been

adopted. First, a large group of appropriate age children are being admitted to

neighborhood schools. However, those in the over age and adolescent category, a new

strategy in the name of ‗Sankalp‘ has been started. This will include residential as well as

non-residential centres for them. The State Government has chalked out a plan to

streamline the mid-day meal (MDM) programme. The policy decisions include de-

linking teachers from the scheme, and transferring the same to mothers‘ committees, self

–help groups and NGOs in urban areas. Efforts have been initiated for launching a school

health programme, whereby medical doctors from the local PHCs will visit schools

periodically and/or children will be taken to the center for a health checkup. It has already

been decided to print and give report cards to parents of each child that would record the

gradual academic progress of children. It is proposed to incorporate elements of health

check up in this card. Unfortunately, the central scheme of the SSA does not take into

account these aspects of children‘s education. The state has taken initiative to revise its

curriculum and syllabus on the pattern of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF)

2005. Teachers are being given training on syllabi to encourage them to go beyond

textbooks and design innovative and contextual teaching practices. In addition, 60

teacher-training institutions in the state are being revived and strengthened. It is expected

that from the academic session 2008, the pre-service training would start at these centres.

The central government so far has been funding DIETs, which is largely the in-service

training institutions, one for each district. It would need to fund regular training

institutions in the state. The state has a very large number of untrained teachers, and

many are likely to be appointed during the current recruitment drive because of the

shortage of trained teachers on one hand, and court orders on the others. Under the new

recruitment rules, teachers would be appraised very three years with the help of resource

persons at DIETs and BRCs. The data would be shared with the members of the VSS,

and the PRI, who would decide n their salary hike, which has been in-built in the

recruitment rules. It is expected that all these initiatives of the state would ultimately lead

to improvement in overall quality of elementary education, reduction in gender disparity

and reduction in dropouts.

SARVA SIKSHA ABHIYAN

9. For Universalisation of Elementary Education the scheme of S.S.A. has been

started in 2001-2002. But the scheme gained pace only in the 2nd year of the 10th

plan. It

is a centrally sponsored scheme in which Central State share in the 10th

plan period is

75:25. Though the scheme could not gain laudable achievement, it is slowly progressing

to achieve its goal. In comparison to 2001-2002 the gross enrollment ratio has increased

from 74 % to 91 % in 2005. Drop out rate of I –V classes have declined from 52 % to

36.06 %. Though there are still a good number of out of school children at present in the

State, this scheme is gradually progressing towards 100% enrollment. Two new schemes

aiming to girl‘s education have been added in the umbrella of this scheme - National

Programme of Education for Girls up to Elementary Level (NPEGEL) and Kasturba

Gandhi Balika Vidhyalaya Yojna (KGBVY).

KASTURBA GANDHI RESIDENTIAL BALIKA VIDYALAYA

10. Kasturba Gandhi Residential Balika Vidyalaya is going to be opened in such

educationally backward Blocks where rural female literacy rate is less than the national

average and gender inequality in literacy is higher than the national average. The total

number of educationally backward block is 469 in the State in which two blocks have

residential schools for girls run by the Department of Social Welfare. Thus total 467

educationally backward blocks are to be covered under this scheme. It is a Centrally

Sponsored Scheme under the umbrella of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in which the pattern of

Centre State Sharing is 65:35. In the first and second phase, One KGBV in each district is

to be opened. Govt. of India has sanctioned such 350 KGBV.

LEVEL ( NPEGEL)

11. NPEGEL Programme launched in 2003-04 aims to

(a) improve access and retention of girls and

(b) to improve the quality of Girls education for there empowerment.

Out of 533 blocks, 469 are educationally backward blocks in Bihar (defined on

the basis of low female literacy and high gender disparity.) 219 blocks have been

identified for initiating the programme in the first phase in 2004-05. In all clusters of the

educationally backward block a model cluster school will be established which act as the

nodal center for the girls education in the cluster. A meena manch for girl‘s

empowerment will be set up in each school. For creating a conducive environment for

this Bihar Education Project has launched Meena rangmanch drive.

MID-DAY MEAL SCHEME

12. Mid-Day Meal Scheme has been launched to boost universalisation of primary

education by increasing enrolment, retention and attendance and simultaneously

improving the nutritional status of students in Primary Schools. Under the programme all

students of classes I-V of (Government/ Govt. added/ Local bodies/ Madarsa/ Sanskrit

Board schools including Education Guarantee Centres) are being provided Mid-Day

cooked meal with minimum 45 calories and 12 grammas protein for 200 days in a year.

In the first phase three blocks of each district having lowest literacy rate were covered on

pilot basis. Later on the programme was extended in all the blocks of these districts and

finally from January 2005 the programme has been extended to all the schools of the

State. The programme of Mid-day Meal during the year 2006-07 is being implemented by

the sanctioned amount of 41454.03 lakh. An amount of Rs 64910.96 lakh is estimated as

expenditure for the year 2007-08. The Central Assistance for the programme will be

45400.00 lakh and that of the State Plan will be 19400.00 lakh by which 15166112

children are to be covered presently an amount of Rs 19400.00 lakh has been earmarked

for the programme for 2007-2008 and 118438.94 lakhs for the 11th

3.2 SECONDRY EDUCATION

Globalization and ever changing word economy has thrown enormous challenges

as well as opportunities for the developing nations. The essential prerequisite for availing

the opportunity is capacity building in terms of human resources. This involves

development of proper educational infrastructure and imparting quality and meaningful

education for keeping pace with the growing demand of the market and society. In the

overall spectrum of educational system the Secondary level provides an important link

between the elementary and higher education. It also serves as training ground for

workforce. Senior secondary stage or Intermediate stage is very important for skill

development. Because at this stage. diversification of curriculum and selection of

professional streams by students occur.

2. The success of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan will mean that Secondary Education

during the next few years would face simultaneously strong pool for quantitative

expansion and qualitative improvement. The enrollment rate will increase and dropout

rate will decrease. This would create great demand for infrastructure facilities for

secondary education. Due to global competitiveness industry, business and service sector

will demand for higher quality of man- power. Secondary education is the single largest

supplier of workforce in the country.

Review of the 10th

Plan and Targets for 11th

Plan

3. On Secondary Education, the expenditure incurred during the 10th

Plan was

166.23 crore as against revised outlay of Rs. 147.27 crore (88.59 %).

4. The State has secondary schools for every one lakh population as against the

national average of 13 schools per lakh population. The reason is, there has been no

sanction of addition teachers‘ position or opening of new schools in the government

sector since the schools were taken over by the government. A detailed strategy in the

mode of public- private partnership for opening of Secondary schools is being worked

out. The Common School Commission has submitted its report. The Government has

taken initiative with regard to secondary school; the entire backlog of over 12,000 teacher

vacancies is being filled in under the same process as designed for the elementary school

teachers. In addition, funds are being provided in phases for additional classrooms, major

repairs, games and sports facilities, computers etc. As in the case of elementary education

additional positions for 10,000 secondary teachers have been created for improving the

access and mechanism for increasing the infrastructure at the secondary level for

deployment of these teachers is under process. The state would need heavy investment

and support during the 11th

plan for building up infrastructure and creating more of

teachers‘ positions for expanding access to secondary education. The state is taking

initiative in this regard. About 1000 upper primary are planned to be upgraded into

secondary. Around 200 senior secondary schools with vocational facilities will be opened

in every year of the Eleventh plan. Around 250 ‗project schools for girls‘ initiated in the

past are strengthened under the non- plan. The NABARD has agreed in principle to

upgrade 600 secondary schools to +2standard and the project is going to be posed soon.

Around 400 intermediate colleges teaching only +2 level of education are going to be

encouraged to teach grades 9 and 10, so as to expend the intake at the secondary level.

The same would be done in the public-private partnership mode. One model school of +2

standard is being upgraded in each district headquarter, which would have hostel

facilities and would be accessible to all children in the district. The schools would serve

as pace setters for other schools in the district under the common school system. A

scheme to provide bicycle to girls in secondary schools is being implemented to help

them cover long distance. This would increase girls‘ participation in secondary education.

The State Government is transferring the school teacher recruitment and management to

the PRIs and local management committees. This would enhance school and teacher

accountability. Furthermore, the Common School System has suggested a regulatory

framework for private and government schools so that they work in a healthy competitive

environment and all children, particularly those belonging to SC, ST, minority and

backward classes, have equal choice and they are not discriminated. As regards testing,

Bihar is following the CBSE pattern of examination reforms, based on the NCF 2005 of

the NCERT. The COBSE (Council of Boards of School Education in India) is working

on grading schools. So far as vocational education in schools is concerned, the state will

follow the NCF 2005, where work and education is seen as integral with each other.

Vocational education in the traditional and stereotyped manner has failed world wide,

and the Indian experience is no different. Drawing upon the NCF 2005, and the

recommendations of the NCERT steering Group on the subject, the government is

revising its strategy to integrate some of the genetic skill development strategy in its

curriculum, which would include communication skills, analytical skills and skills in

information technology.

concerned Distruct Magistrates to put into corpus fund for the construction of concerned

Residential Schools. Rs.300.00 lacs each has been earmarked for both residential Schools

in 2005-06. Department has made a proposal of Rs. 50.00 lacs to provide Rs. 25.00 lacs

each to both the concerned District Magistrates for the construction of School Building in

2007-08 and has estimated Rs. 250.00 lakhs for 11 th Five Year plan 2007-12.

Govt. is keen that the student studying in Govt. schools get acquainted to computers and

hence under ICT @ Schools scheme (Central Sponsored Scheme), there is a proposal to

computerised 799 Secondary schools and Directorate of Secondary Education at Patna.

Central Government has intimated to release Rs. 900.00 lacs as central share in financial

3.5 HEALTH INCLUDING MEDICAL EDUCATION AND INDIAN

SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE (ISM)

Socio-economic development is the combined outcome of various development

variables, aimed at upgrading living standards and quality of life. Improvement in the

overall health status of a population is recognised as instrumental for increasing

productivity and economic growth, as well as an end in itself. This has to be achieved by

improving the access to and utilization of health, family welfare and nutrition services

with special focus on under served and under privileged segments of population.

2. The government of Bihar is committed to bring health to the doorsteps of

common man. The effort is to create adequate infrastructure right up to village level. The

vision is to strengthen the basic health infrastructure through streamlining the

administrative structure of the various programmes. The objectives of the Eleventh Plan

are to strengthen the basic health infrastructure at the rural level out to streamline the

administrative scheme for the implementation of the National Health Programme so that

the common person benefits. The state has witnessed significant demographic and

epidemiological changes, due to which the demand on the health sector has tremendously

increased resulting in wide gap in the health infrastructure, manpower - both medical and

paramedical staff, equipment, drugs and consumables, furniture and fixture, etc., in the

state. Existing health facilities are in dilapidated condition at all levels. The gap has also

increased between demand for and supply of health care services in the state.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for Eleventh Plan

Eleventh Plan Strategy

7. HEALTH CARE INFRASTRUCTURE

The Department has initiated a number of measures for bridging the gaps between the

central government norms for the rural health infrastructure and existing infrastructure in

the state. The gaps in infrastructure are enormous, but the Department envisages bridging

them during the Eleventh Plan period. It has prepared detailed plans to construct new

health facilities such as sub-centres, PHCs, CHCs, FRUs, sub-divisional and district

hospitals. PHCs, sub-divisional hospitals and districts hospitals are being constructed in

the newly created blocks, sub-divisions and districts, respectively. In each financial year,

1,544 sub-centers, 331 PHCs, 201 CHCs and 25 FRUs will be constructed and

operationalised. Further, three medical colleges are being set up. Further, health facilities

that are in a dilapidated condition are being refurbished in collaboration with the state

government‘s Department of Building Construction. Design of the medical colleges and

other health facilities will be outsourced to a design consultancy agency, and supervision

of the construction of buildings, health facilities, and district drug stores will be handed

over to a supervision consultancy agency.

8. MANPOWER PLANNING

The Department has systematically assessed the gaps in the manpower at sub-centers,

PHCs, FRUs, sub-divisional hospitals and district hospitals in the state. To provide

effective and quality health services at all times, the post of four specialist doctors and

three general doctors have been created and the doctors have already been posted to all

PHCs. The Department has decided to recruit 5,000 general doctors and specialists and

4,000 paramedical staff on contractual basis to fill the gaps. District health societies have

organised walk-in interviews and recruited 1,500 doctors, 7,964 ANMs and 4,000 Grade

'A' nurses within a short span of time. Besides, rationalization and re-location of doctors

and paramedical staff are being undertaken.

9. DRUGS AND EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT

The Department, after reviewing the procurement system and identification of

bottlenecks in the procurement of drugs and equipments, has streamlined the procurement

of essential and other drugs. The state provides essential drugs to various government and

health facilities free of cost for patients visiting the health facilities.

Essential drugs for PHCs to District Hospital:

1). OPD - 22

2). Indoor - 23

Essential Drugs for Main Hospitals in Districts:

1). OPD - 22

2). Indoor - 107

10. CAPACITY BUILDING

The Department has embarked upon large-scale training programmes for multi-

skilling of doctors, paramedical staff and skilled birth attendants. The shortage of

anesthetists will be met through short-term training being provided in anesthesia. ANM

and GNM training schools are being refurbished, and equipments given to them to

operationalise them in a phased manner to increase the supply of trained nurses. Teaching

staff are being posted to operationalise 12 ANM training schools. The remaining nine

ANM training schools will be operationalised during the Eleventh Plan period.

11. IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEMS THROUGH PUBLIC

PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

To improve health care delivery at public health facilities, the Department has

initiated 24x7 healthcare services at all the PHCs. The availability of doctors clubbed

with free distribution of drugs has resulted in a multi-fold increase in the number of

patients visiting public health facilities between January 2006 and June 2007. The

average number of patients visiting public health facilities in a month has increased from

39 in January 2006 to about 2,900 in June 2007. The pathology and radiology services at

public health facilities have been out-sourced to private agencies and 276 pathology units

have been set up, and carried out more than 2,00,000 pathological tests so far. Further,

132 x-ray units have been established. Besides a toll-free emergency medical ambulance

service has been operationalised through six control rooms established at divisional

headquarters which have so far responded to more than 6,000 calls. Hospital maintenance

services and ambulance services have been introduced through private agencies.

12. I.E.C. AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGE COMMUNICATION (BCC)

BCC and IEC initiatives are being augmented. Presently the Department has

initiated advocacy campaigns on various programmes like Routine Immunisation, Pulse

Polio, Blindness Control, etc. The Department plans to launch BCC/IEC campaigns in

collaboration with the ICDS and panchayati raj institutions to initiate attitudinal and

behavioural change among rural people.

14. INFANT MORTALITY RATE (IMR) REDUCTION

The infant mortality rate in Bihar is above the national average, and the goal is to

reduce it to 29 per 1000 live births by the end of the Eleventh Plan. For this, the

Department is planning to introduce universal tracking of newborns, as well as the

introduction of home-based neonatal care, better breast-feeding practice, and integrated

management of neonatal and childhood illness. Grass-root health workers like ASHAs,

AWWS and ANMs are being empowered to operationalise these initiatives through

capacity building, providing incentives and untied fund to sub-centers.

15 INCREASE IN ROUTINE IMMUNISATION COVERAGE

Increasing routine immunisation coverage is one of the priorities of the

Department. To increase the immunisation coverage in the state, it has introduced a

number of innovative steps like private couriers for an alternate vaccine delivery system;

contracting around 400 ANMs on a per session basis; mobile van immunisation

campaigns in remote areas; and outreach sessions in anganwari centers. These measures

have given a boost to routine immunization. Full immunisation has risen from 11% (in

National Family Health Survey-2, NFHS-2) to 32.8% (NFHS-3). The Department, further

intend to intensify routine immunisation through observation of immunisation weeks and

implementing the child-tracking system.

16. MATERNAL MORTALITY RATIO (MMR) REDUCTION

Janani Evam Baal Suraksha Yojana (JBSY)

The state has the fifth highest maternal mortality ratio 371 in the country, far

above the national average of 301. The goal for the state is to reduce it to 200 by the end

of the Eleventh Plan. For this, institutional deliveries are being promoted under the JBSY

as well as registration of pregnant mothers and their ANCs. Delay in referral of pregnant

women in cases of obstructed labour is a major reason for the high maternal mortality.

For timely referral of patients, the Department has introduced dial 102 ambulance

services which has been out-sourced for effective implementation. Also, private clinics

are being accredited to provide maternal health care to patients, and two FRUs will be

operationalised in each district to provide Emoc, neonatal and child health services. For

this, FRUs are being refurbished, equipment is being procured and specialists are being

deployed. The Department has begun training skilled birth attendants to increase their

availability in the rural areas. Institutional deliveries have increased from 7,000 to 50,000

a month.

Contributors to the high MMR in the state include a number of socio-economic

factors like early marriage of girls, first birth at a young age, home deliveries in

unhygienic conditions, several taboos associated with childbirth, and high proportion of

anemia among pregnant women. The Department will launch BCC/IEC campaigns in

collaboration with ICDS and PRIs to bring about attitudinal and behavioural changes

among rural people.

17. REDUCTION IN TOTAL FERTILITY RATIO (TFR)

The total fertility rate (TFR) in the state is second highest in the country (4.2

compared to the national average of 3.0), but the objective is to reduce it to 3.0 by the end

of the Eleventh Plan. This would be brought about through behavioural change

communication (BCC) to increase the age at marriage for girls, delay the birth of the first

child, increase male participation in the natal process and meet the needs for

contraception. To reduce the unmet need for contraception, the Department has

designated a family planning day in all the government health facilities in the state. On

weekdays (Monday to Saturday) sterilization and family planning camps are being

organised on weekly basis at every PHC. Private facilities and NGOs are being accredited

to provide family planning and sterilisation services.

18. PRIVATE INVESTMENT FOR MEDICAL COLLEGES AND HOSPITALS

The establishment of medical colleges through public-private partnerships is being

encouraged; the government will facilitate the provision of land, water, and power and

will also share the costs of preparing the bid document. The state will adopt the single

window approach to speed up procedures. The state has so far received seven proposals

and has given ‗no objections‘ to two.

19. SETTING UP SUPER-SPECIALTY UNITY: The government will adopt the PPP

approach to setting up super-specialty units in several hospitals and medical colleges.

20. PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING: Private investment will be given

incentives to enter pharmaceutical manufacturing, as the state manufactures a very small

proportion of the drugs needed. Of the total annual demand of Rs. 1,500 crore every year,

only Rs.50 crore worth of drugs are being manufactured in the state.

21. URBAN HEALth: Along with rural health, urban health, particularly services for

government facilities are inadequate; PPP may be the feasible alternative.

22. INTER-SECTOR COLLABORATION: The indicators of health depend as much on

drinking water, female literacy, nutrition, early childhood development, sanitation,

women‘s empowerment, etc., as they do on hospitals and functional health systems.

Realizing this, an effective convergence between departments dealing with Health, ICDS,

Education, Drinking water, Sanitation has been planned. The village health committee

will be a modified version of health and sanitation committees already existing in the

villages. They will co-opt ANM and ASHA in their committee.

23. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

The state has achieved some success to control the communicable diseases such as

leprosy and tuberculosis. It plans to promote preventive actions through effectively

implementing infection control measures.

24. NATIONAL VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAMME

National Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) is an umbrella

programme for prevention and control of vector-borne diseases like malaria, kala azar,

filaria, dengue and Japanese encephalitis. A three-pronged strategy for NVBDCP is being

implemented: integrated vector control through spraying of insecticides, early detection

and effective treatment of cases. Training of employees at all levels and IEC/BCC are

being undertaken by the Department.

25. MALARIA

Seven districts bordering Jharkhand are moderately affected with malaria. Anti-

malarial drugs, insecticides (namely DDT and Synthetic Pyrethroids) are being provided

by the central government as commodity support to the state. The present status (2006-

07) of malaria is 3.08, to be reduced to 1.7 by the end of 2008-09, and further to 1.4 at the

end of 2011-12.

26. KALA AZAR

Kala azar is endemic in 31 districts, and the Department has begun DDT spraying

in dwellings in these areas. In this financial year, about 92 percent of the targeted rural

households have been sprayed with DDT. Cases of kala azar are substantially high even

in urban areas, so DDT spraying in being undertaken in urban areas as well. A rate

contract for Amphotericine-B has been conducted to overcome any shortages in the drug.

All the district and medical college and hospitals have been authorised to purchase

Amphotericine-B to ensure uninterrupted treatment of kala azar patients. For quick and

effective diagnosis rk-39 rapid diagnostic kits are being introduced in the state. These

initiatives have resulted in a reduction in kala azar. The present prevalence rate of kala

azar is 3.19, and is expected to fall to 1 by the end of 2008-09, and to be eliminated by

2010. Kala azar patients receive Rs 50 per day as diet support, and Rs 50 as subsistence

support, as well as an attendant for 20 days. A state task force on kala azar has been

constituted under the Chairmanship of kala azar specialist, Dr C.P. Thakur.

27. LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS

The Department has initiated annual Mass Drug Administration (MDA) of

Diethylcarbamazine Citrate (DEC) tablets in a single dose to all persons excluding

children below two years, pregnant women and seriously ill people, in addition to home

bases morbidity management. Mobile campaign for awareness generation and drug

administration has been initiated in all districts to control filariasis. At present the micro-

filaria rate is 1.1 which will come down to 0.7 by the end of 2007-08.

28. JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS

For control of Japanese encephalitis the main strategy has been early diagnosis and

case management.

29. REVISED NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL PROGRAMME (RNTCP)

The RNTCP has been launched in 38 districts in the state. Adequate staff members

have been recruited, and the procurement process stream lined. The programme is

supported by external agencies, such as the Word Bank and GFATM. New initiatives like

scaling-up sputum smear microscopy services, culture and drug sensitivity testing, DOTS

Plus for Multi-Drug Resistance TB, etc., have been initiated. The annualised New Smear

Positive (NSP) case detection rate in 2006-07 was 32.20% and is expected to rise to 70%

at the end of 2008-09.

30. NATIONAL LEPROSY ERADICATION PROGRAMME

The prevalence rate of leprosy in Bihar was 1.6 per 10,000 people at the end of

November 2005, and is expected to be less than 1.6 in 2006-07.

31. NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR CONTROL OF BLINDNESS

Cataract is a major cause of blindness in Bihar, and cataract surgery has been

given highest priority. Operations are being undertaken through camps, and camps for

eye check-ups are conducted in the rural areas, with inputs from reputed NGOs. In

district hospitals eye-care units are being established in public-private mode to tackle the

large number of cases of blindness. The prevalence rate was 0.78% in 2006-07, and is

expected to decline to 0.5% by the end of 2008-09.

32. NATIONAL CANCER CONTROL PROGRAMME

Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths in the state, with the majority of cases

attributed to the use of tobacco. The Department‘s main strategy is prevention of cancer

through health education, early detection of common cancers and facilitating secondary

prevention.

33. NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

The stress of modern life is resulting in an increase in mental illness. The main

strategy for improving mental health care is early recognition, adequate treatment and

rehabilitation of patients. After the bifurcation of state, Bihar lost its mental hospitals.

The government has set up a State Institute of Mental Health and Allied Sciences at

Koilwar in Bhoijpur District.

34. MEDICAL EDUCATION

In the state there are six medical colleges and hospitals and one dental college and

hospital in the government sector, apart from one super-specialty center in cardiology and

one multi-super-specialty hospital at Patna. To reduce the pressure on these medical

colleges and augment medical education, the Department has decided to open three

government medical colleges and hospitals in Medhepra, Nalanda and Bettiah. One

dental college and hospital will also be established at Nalanda. Rs 2 crore has been

provided for the acquisition of land for the construction of the three medical colleges.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Swastya Surakha Yojana (PMSSY) institutions modelled on

the AIIMS in Delhi will be set up at Phulwarisharif in Patna District to increase the

supply of tertiary care through hospitals providing super-specialty services. The institute

will also provide quality medical education with an intake of 100 students in an academic

session. The state government has provided funds for acquiring land for the construction

of AIIMS in the state.

35. AYUSH

The state has 11 ayurvedic, 5 unani and 11 homoeopathic hospitals; and 311

ayurvedic, 143 unani and 179 homoeopathic dispensaries. To promote the mainstreaming

of ayurveda, yoga, naturopathy, unani, sidda and homoeopathy, the Department plans to

place AYUSH practitioners in PHCs along with the allopathic doctors. AYUSH

practitioners will be trained and orientated in family welfare and the National Disease

Control Programme so as to increase coverage under these programmes. Essential drugs

are being provided under AYUSH.

36. NATIONAL AIDS CONTROL PROGRAMME

Based on data, Bihar is among the low AIDS/HIV prevalence states. In about

eight districts HIV prevalence is comparatively higher than other districts.

37. INTEGRATED DISEASE SURVEILLANCE PROJECT

The Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) has been initiated to detect

early signs of impending outbreaks of communicable diseases including cholera, typhoid,

polio, measles, malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS, so as to initiate a timely and

effective response. The project will also provide data to monitor the progress of ongoing

disease control programmes and help allocate health resources more optimally.

indigenous systems of medicine (ISM) in the state. There are six government medical

colleges and one super-speciality hospital receiving aid from the state. The super-

specialty hospital, Indira Gandhi Institute of Cardiology, is a public hospital and the

Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences is an autonomous institute.

2. Good maintenance of medical colleges to equip them to meet the health needs of

people particularly in the rural areas, is the prime objective of the Medical Education

Department. The Department also promotes medical education through partnerships with

private institutes. New medical colleges, hospitals and dental colleges are proposed in

based on the recommendations of the Indian Medical Council and the Dental Council of

India.

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

Number of measures for bridging the gaps between the Govt. of India norms for

the rural health infrastructure and the existing infrastructure in the state has been

initiated.

The PHCs, Sub-divisional hospitals and Districts hospitals are being constructed

in the newly created Blocks, Sub divisions and Districts respectively.

In each financial year, 1544 new Sub centers and 331 new PHCs, 201 CHCs and

25 FRU's will be constructed and operationalised in the State.

It is envisaged to out- source designing of medical colleges and other health

facilities to a design consultancy agency.

For providing effective and quality health care services round the clock the post

of four Specialist Doctors and three General Doctors have been created and the

doctors have already been posted at all the PHCs.

It has been decided to recruit 5000 Doctors General & Specialists and 4000

Paramedical Staff on Contractual basis with a view to fill the gaps.

The District Health Societies have organized the walk-in interviews and have

recruited 1500 Doctors, 7964 ANMs & 4000 Grade 'A' Nurses in the shortest span

of time

The procurement system has been streamlined for the procurement of essential

drugs as well as other drugs. Essential drugs are being provided to the various

Govt. health facilities free of cost to all the patients visiting the health facilities.

The Department has embarked upon massive training programmes for multi –

skilling of doctors, paramedical staff and the skilled birth attendants.

For augmenting the health care delivery at Govt. health facilities, 24x7 health care

services at all the PHCs has been initiated.

The average number of patients visiting the Govt. health facilities in a month has

increased from 39 in Jan2006 to about 2900 in June 2007.

At Govt. health facilities the pathology and radiology services have been out-

sourced to private agencies. 276 Pathology.

276 Pathology Units have been established and more than 2,00,000 pathological

tests have been done so far.

132 X-Ray Units have been established.

A toll free 102 Emergency Medical Ambulance Service have been operationalzed

through 6 Control Rooms established at Divisional Head Quarters which carried

out more than 6000 calls as on date.

The hospital maintenance services and ambulance services have also been started

and out- sourced to private agencies.

Advocacy campaigns on various programmes like Routine Immunization, Pulse

Polio, Blindness Control Programme, etc., has been initiated.

For reduction of IMR in the state, the Department is planning to introduce

universal tracing of newborn. It is envisaged to track each and every new born in

the State.

The grass-root health workers like ASHAs, AWWS and ANMs are being

empowered through capacity building, providing incentives and untied fund to the

Sub centers.

A number of innovative steps like private couriers for alternate vaccine delivery

system; contracting approximately 400 ANMs on per session basis; mobile van

immunization campaigns in the hard to reach areas; outreach sessions in the

Anganwari centers etc for increasing the immunization coverage in the state.

The full immunization percentage of 11% (as per National Family Health

Survey-2, NFHS-2) has risen to 32.8% (NFHS-3).

For reducing the MMR in the State through Janani Evam Bal Surakha Yojana

(JBSY) institutional deliveries is being promoted.

Dial 102 ambulance service for timely referral of the patients has been introduced

and out- sourced for effective implementation.

The private clinics are being accredited for providing maternal health care to the

patients.

Setting up of Medical colleges through PPP mechanism is being encouraged with

the single window approach to speed up the procedures. The state has so far

received seven proposals and has given no- objection to two of them.

The government will rely on PPP to set up super-specialty unity in several

hospital and medical colleges.

3.6 WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION

The Public Health Engineering Department is the nodal agency for providing safe

drinking water and sanitation facilities in the rural areas of Bihar. In general, hand tube

wells and drilled tube wells are constructed and choked tube wells are repaired for this

purpose. The execution of piped water supply in urban, semi-urban and rural areas,

testing of the quality of drinking water and remedial measures for improving the quality

in the rural areas and sanitary fittings in government building come under the preview of

the Department. In addition, a rural sanitation programme along central government

guidelines has also been taken up.

2. Ensuring safe, sustainable, accessible and adequate drinking water supply to all

habitations, and proper sanitation facilities and clean environment for healthy and better

quality of life are the main objectives of the schemes run by the Department.

3. The plan is to create improved and adequate infrastructure for the supply of safe

drinking water particularly to rural populations to improve their health status, and in the

process increase their productivity and help them obtain sustainable livelihoods.

Sanitation in rural areas is also a thrust area for the Department, which also looks after

the quality of drinking water and sanitation facilities.

Review of Tenth Plan and Target for Eleventh Plan

4. In the Tenth Plan period, the revised outlay for water supply and sanitation was Rs

34,411.84 lakh against which financial achievement was Rs 25,653.89 lakh.

5. Strategy for Annual Plan 2007-08 and the Eleventh Plan

Transferring ownership of rural water supply and sanitation infrastructure to PRIs;

Capacity-building for PRIs, NGOs and other stakeholders;

Convergence with other departments especially Health, Education and Panchayat

Raj;

Exploring and promoting public-private partnerships, especially in water quality

and in water-scarce areas;

Regulating ground water to check over-exploitation of ground water; and

Monitoring and evaluation focused on outcomes.

Proposed Schemes

6. NABARD has sanctioned a scheme to supply drinking water in 158 block

headquarters at a cost of Rs 13,052.38 lakh, which is under implementation. More

schemes are planned under this head.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.13,500.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 3,500.00 lakh ]

Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSSs)

7. The central government has launched the Rural Sanitation-Total Sanitation

Campaign to support sanitation in rural areas. At present, about 19% of the rural

population is covered with sanitary toilets. Many of the rural people are not fully aware

of the adverse effects of bad sanitary conditions on human health. Major activities

under the Total Sanitation Campaign are the construction of individual household

toilets for APL and BPL populations, the construction of toilets in schools and

anganwadi centres, the construction of community toilets and safe disposal of solid and

liquid wastes. Under this programme the state provides 20-30% of the total cost as its

share.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.18,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.1,800.00 lakh]

8. Under the Accelerated Urban Water Supply Programme, the central government

provides assistance to the state government for piped water supply to census towns with

populations up to 20,000. In Bihar, 41 census towns have been identified by the central

government for piped water supply under this programme. Of these, 33 schemes have

been sanctioned and are under implementation; 8 schemes have been commissioned

and rest are under implementation and likely to be completed by the end of 2007-08.

Besides, the drinking water supply systems need to be augmented in 2 to 3 small and

medium towns.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.2000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.300.00 lakh ]

9. Drinking water facilities have to be provided in all primary and middle schools,

and the costs shared equally between the state and central governments. In many

schools drinking water sources have become dysfunctional and need to be replaced

with new, sustainable systems.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs 10000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.700.00 lakh ]

10. After the re-organisation of Bihar, most of the rig machines, hydro-fracturing

and TMC units have gone to the newly created state of Jharkhand. One or two rig

machines with support vehicles are now required for Bihar. According to central

government guidelines, half the cost will be borne by them and the other half by the

state. Thus a state share of Rs. 150.00 lakh has been proposed during 2007-08. During

the Eleventh Plan Rs 800.00 lakh has been proposed for this scheme.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.800.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.150.00 lakh ]

BHARAT NIRMAN PROGRAMMES

11. The Department of Drinking Water Supply, Ministry of Rural Development, has

launched the Bharat Nirman Programme to provide drinking water to uncovered

habitations over a period of two years, and to restore water supply in habitations where

it has slipped back to fully covered (FC) status over a period of four years, at the norm

of 40 lpcd portable water. According to the central government guidelines, the state‘s

share is 25% for this sub-mission project.

(i) Tube wells, sanitary wells and treatment units attached to hand pumps will be

constructed based on the hydro-geological condition and location of affected habitations.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 2,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 600.00 lakh]

(ii) As per the availability of the surface water source in the vicinity of affected

habitations independent piped water supply scheme for a village and multi villages will

be taken up .

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.7,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 600.00 lakh ]

ONGOING SCHEMES AND NEW SCHEMES (STATE PLAN)

12. With central government assistance, 33 district-level laboratories have been set

up in Bihar, but the state government pays establishment costs and maintenance of

these laboratories. To ensure people receive safe drinking water, it is essential to

monitor water quality, and to regularly test and map drinking water samples.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.750.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.100.00 lakh]

13. The Department is the nodal agency for the centrally sponsored Rural

Sanitation Programme, the Total Sanitation Campaign and Swajaldhara. Execution of

work related to water supply and sanitation in urban areas and hospitals at different

levels has been given to the Urban Department and Health Department, respectively.

Thus the workload of the Department has drastically increased. To execute these jobs,

a proposal for strengthening and expanding the Department has been prepared, which

will involve the creation of 40 work divisions, 10 circles and 4 chief engineers‘ offices

along with 8 design and monitoring divisions.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.18,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-12: Rs.500.00 lakh]

14. Monitoring water quality is an important aspect of the rural water supply and

sanitation programme.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.1,200.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-12: Rs.200.00 lakh]

15. Hydro-geological investigations for potential of groundwater in plateaus and

sub-plateaus are required for expanding sustainable drinking water sources. The state

has only one tetrameter from UNICEF for the geophysical investigation of ground

water. Extensive survey and investigation is also required for the preparation of piped

water supply schemes for rural, semi-urban and urban areas. Multi-villages piped water

supply schemes are also required for quality-affected and water-scarce areas.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.1,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.200.00 lakh ]

16. Other schemes to be taken up are incomplete schemes and reorganisation of old

and defunct rural piped water supply schemes, to improve the supply of drinking water to

rural areas and the physical environment of villages. The construction of new high-

yielding tube wells in place of defunct tube wells with allied works is needed in some

rural piped water supply schemes which were functioning previously.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.20256.12 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.5,579.85 lakh]

17. New tube wells and sanitary wells need to be constructed to cover the not covered

(NC) and partially covered (PC) habitations. With time and use, some hand tube wells

have become non-functional and need to be replaced or restored.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 16,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.5,028.00 lakh]

18. For successful implementation and effective maintenance of water supply

schemes, training of departmental officers and other functionaries is essential to update

their knowledge and increase their capacity.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.100.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.15.00 lakh]

19. Recent technological developments have made it imperative to initiate research and

development in water supply and sanitation projects, so that schemes that are

implemented are appropriate and cost-effective, and suitable to local condition and

acceptable to the people.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.600.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.100.00 lakh]

20. A computerised monitoring system is important to enable timely decision-

making on programme issues. A computer network at the state and district levels is

being developed with the help of the central government.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.100.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.5.00 lakh ]

21. Due to the excess withdrawal of ground water, the ground water table is

becoming depleted in some parts of the state, resulting in an adverse environmental

impact and imbalance of the ground water system. The situation can be retrieved by

launching a massive rain water harvesting, recharging and water conservation

programme.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.1200 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs.250.00 lakh ]

22. Most of the water supply and sanitation schemes in urban areas and

government buildings are maintained by the Department. Occasionally, water supply

and sanitation works in urban areas and government buildings need to be strengthened

for which funds are required.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 1,000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 600.00 lakh]

23. Modernisation and Development of Crematoriums are needed.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 2,000.00 lakh]

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

To create improved and adequate infrastructure for the supply of safe drinking

water particularly to be rural population for achieving better health standards

for them with a view to increasing productivity and obtaining a sustainable

livelihood.

Entrusting the ownership of Rural Water Supply and sanitation infrastructure

to PRIs.

Capacity building to PRIs, NGOs and other stake holders.

Convergence with other departments especially the Health

Department Education Department and Panchayat Raj Department.

Exploring and promoting Public private partnership especially for Water

quality & water Scarce areas.

Ground water Regulation to check the over exploitation of ground water .

Monitoring and Evaluation focused on outcomes.

NABARD has sanctioned a scheme for drinking water supply in 158 block

head quarters amounting to Rs 13052.38 lakh.

The rural people, in particular are not fully aware of the adverse effect of

bad sanitary condition on human health. Construction of individual

household toilets both for APL and BPL, construction of toilets in schools

and anganbadi centres and community toilets and safe disposal of solid and

liquid wastes have been taken up for implementation under TSC.

In order to achieve the goal of supplying safe drinking water to the people,

33 district level laboratories have been setup.

In order to execute work related to water supply and sanitation in urban

areas and different level hospitals 10 work divisions, 2 circles and 3 Chief

engineer‘s offices along with 2design and monitoring divisions have to be

created.

3.7 SOCIAL WELFARE: WOMEN ,CHILDREN AND HANDICAPPED

Social welfare follows the approach for empowerment of women, children and

handicapped as agents of social change and development. The goal of social

empowerment has to be achieved by promoting education amongst women especially

among girls and providing them with health and nutrition services. Economic

empowerment will facilitate employment and income generating activities for women. To

fulfill these commitments, coordinated efforts by governmental and non-governmental

originations working in the field will continue.

2. The Social Welfare Department has programmes which cater to the needs of

women, children and handicapped people. The objective of the Department is to

rehabilitate disabled persons through vocational training, and to implement various

schemes for socio-economic development and empowerment of women. The objective of

the Department is to strengthen the nutrition level of pregnant and lactating mothers as

well as malnourished children.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for Eleventh Plan

3. Against the Tenth Plan revised outlay of Rs 701.08 crore for social welfare,

expenditure incurred during the Tenth Plan period was Rs.664.09 crore (94.72%).

Vision for the Eleventh Plan 4. The aim will be to universalise the coverage and services of ICDS to eradicate

malnutrition. All children would be fully immunised and healthy, and would have access

to pre-primary education. Efforts will be taken to empower women fully - socially and

economically, and to provide all children in need of care and protection shelter and

facilities for proper growth. Children‘s homes will be given the buildings they need, and

more after-care homes will be opened. Schemes for senior citizens will be implemented,

and old-age homes will be established. Schemes will be introduced to provide appliances

to handicapped people, and efforts will be made to protect people from becoming

handicapped. Begging will be eradicated.

5. The effectiveness of the ICDS programme has been hampered by a shortage of

training centres for workers and the lack of buildings for running the anganwari centres.

Each of the 60,000 centres has at least one sanctioned post for AWW and AWS, and

better training and orientation of these workers will ensure that programme functions

more efficiently. Similarly, buildings need to be constructed for running anganwari

centres in weaker communities. The procurement of food procurement and its distribution

have successfully been delegated to the Poshahar Vitaran Samiti (a committee of

mothers) at the village level, but building the capacities of these committee members will

enable them to better monitor the services and exercise better control over them. The

ICDS has so far focused on nutrition and immunisation, and other services such as pre-

primary education and healthcare need to be strengthened.

6. There is a shortage of homes and schools for children in need of care or protection

or those who are physically challenged. The care of children in need of protection or in

conflict with the law is very important, for which JJ Homes play a major role, but the

shortage of homes means that all the needy children cannot be cared for. There is a

shortage of special schools for the physically and mentally challenged; schools that exist

for visually challenged and hearing-impaired children need to be strengthened.

Construction work on schools, hostels and hospitals is incomplete because of a shortage

of manpower and resources at the level of execution (in the Department of Building and

Construction). Several vacancies at all levels are a major impediment to the completion

of programmes. While PRIs have the power to implement major schemes, the capacities

of their functionaries will need to be built up substantially before the delivery of services

can improve. Vocational courses are very important and need to be linked to

employment.

7. In order to promote the adoption programme in the state, an action plan has been

prepared to provide licenses to capable non-governmental organisations to work as

adoption agencies. In compliance to the guidelines issued by the Central Adoption

Resource Authority, Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, the central government, a

State Advisory Board has been constituted supported by the State Adoption Cell. The

Bihar Voluntary Coordinating Agency has been nominated the Adoption Coordinating

Agency for the state. A Shishu Grih will be established to provide shelter to children up

to 6 years of age.

8. There is no separate scheme for residential facilities for widows but widows

deserted by their families are included in the category of women in distress and are

provided residential facilities in the short-stay homes. In order to provide residential

facilities and capacity-building training to women who are victims of trafficking or

domestic violence, or deserted women, widows displaced from their families, and so on,

14 short-stay homes are being run by the Bihar State Social Welfare Board in Sitamarhi,

Siwan, Nalanda, Kishanganj, Jamui, Madhepura, Darbhanga, Aurangabad, Gopalganj,

East Champaran, Nawada, Purnea and Araria. Two homes under the Swadhar schemes

are functioning in Muzaffarpur and Nawada. A women‘s helpline is functioning in eleven

districts namely Betia, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Araria, Katihar, Purnea, Kishanganj,

Nalanda and Jamui. In addition, a proposal to set up help lines in the remaining 27

districts of Bihar is proposed in a phased manner and a short-stay home shall be tagged

with the helpline to provide support and services to women. Building on the ideology of

mainstreaming and inclusion, short-stay homes will be established at the commissionary

level with attached help lines. The ultimate aim of the short- stay home shall be social and

economic rehabilitation of women in distress.

9. An action plan for prevention, protection and rehabilitation of the victims and

survivors of trafficking titled Astitva, provides for rehabilitation of sex workers who are

victims of trafficking. Proper medical, educational, economic and social rehabilitation

has been planned for children and women victims of trafficking who have been forced

into sex trade. Innovative schemes will be executed through civil society organizations

which includes schemes for rehabilitation of sex workers and their children in the

proposed Integrated Women Development Scheme of the Department of Social Welfare.

An appropriate mass-scale awareness campaign is planned to remove the stigma

associated with the victims of trafficking, domestic violence, commercial and sexual

exploitation or other forms of exploitation, to promote prevention and social

rehabilitation.

Details of the proposed schemes for the Eleventh Plan

10. ICDS SECTOR Food and Nutrition Bulletin, Volume 28 of the United Nations University has

conducted ―Utilization of Positive Deviance Analysis in evaluating community-based

nutrition programs : An Application to the Dular Programme in Bihar‖ They have

concluded in the report – ―The analysis suggests that programmatic efforts relating to

these activies have been particularly effective and may will be deserving of increased

investment.‖

10.1 Special Areas Development Programme:- In view of strengthening the

infrastructure of the Anganwadi Centers,20 AWC buildings in the seven boarding area

districts @ Rs. 2.00 lakh per AWC building has been proposed.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.1000.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan (2007-08): Rs. 200.00 lakh]

10.2 Nutrition

10.2.1 STATE PLAN- Under Nutrition Component of state plan, there is a provision of

Rs. 2.00 per day per child in the age group of 0 to 6 yrs., Rs. 2.30 per day per P&L

Women and Rs. 2.70 per day per severely malnourished children in the age group of 6

months to 3 yrs. There is a provision of nutrition for 80 children, 16 P&L women and 3

Adolescent girls Per Anganwadi centre for 300 days in a year. At present there are 80797

AWCs under 544 projects. According to the norms laid down by the GOI Rs. 5302.50 has

been estimated for 99 beneficiaries per AWCs per month (25 days).To make

supplementary nutrition programme more effective and transparent, an alternative

arrangement has been made. Under this scheme a production centre has been established

consisting of 20 AWCs. The provision of supplementary nutrition through

SHGs/Federation is a new imitative taken by Dept. in association with Women

Development Corporation, Bihar, Mahila Samakhya and COMPFED. Under this

programme women SHGs, cooperatives, supply nutrition aganwadi centre. Initially this

programme was launched on a pilot basis in Phulwarisharif block of Patna District and

Bochacha block of Muzaffarpur district. After successful completion of pilot, the

supplementary nutrition programme has been replicated in other 41 projects of 9 districts.

Through this intervention, specially prepared mixture of Wheat, Bengal Gram, Ground

Nuts and Sugar is made into Laddus and fed to children in Aganwadis. Besides the same

mixture is supplied to pregnant and lactating mothers, adolescent girls and also

malnourished and severely malnourished children take home rasan.

10.2.2 Under production centre the upper limit of expenditure has been restricted to Rs.

Chapter 4

4. Employment, Vocational Education and Skill Development

Sustainable employment generation continues to be one of the most important

objectives of the planned economic development. The need for generation of adequate

employment opportunities, so as to progressively reduce the number of unemployed over

a period of time has been emphasized and articulated in all the Plans. The Department of

Labour Resources has been mandated to maintain industrial harmony, look after labour

welfare, enforce labour laws, take an active role in upgrading skills in young people to

increase their employability in the labour market, establish links between the skilled

people and the job market through Employment Exchanges, and take care of the medical

needs of the Insured Persons (IPs) and their families under the ESI Act. However, a

paradigm shift has taken place in the approach to undertaking this mandate since the early

nineties. The role labour laws play has been perceived differently by different

stakeholders, notably, employers and employees. In the wake of economic reforms

initiated in the early 90‘s, there has been growing consensus on the need for employment

policy to simplify labour laws to spur growth and generate employment, rather than

merely protecting the well-entrenched interests of workers in the organized sector. There

is increasing realization that the most vulnerable sections of the labour -child labour,

women, bonded labour, migrant labour and vast mass of labour working in the

unorganized or informal sector need special attention, through effective implementation

of labour laws and focused welfare policies.

2. It has also been realized that with the globalization, privatization and

increased competition India would transit from a predominantly agrarian economy

to a fast- growing industrial economy, with double digit growth in GDP. Clearly

this has implication for labour- implying a shift in the labour force from agriculture

to industry and a manifold increase in the demand for skilled labour. This in turn calls for

increasing the skills base to encompass the changing skills demanded by the market, to

ensure that the labour continues to be employable. With this the scope of private

participation in skill development endeavors would multiply as the Government

alone can not create the vast army of skilled manpower required to meet the

burgeoning demand and sustain the pace of economic growth.

3. With the job market set to undergo a vast change from what it was during the 10th

Plan period and likelihood of investment driven growth replacing demand driven growth,

there is immense potential of creating of jobs in various sectors of economy; job-seekers

would require knowledge and information on jobs available in the market in line with

their qualification and experience. The demands for job and career counseling will also

grow, and employment exchanges would need to metamorphose from agencies that

merely register job-seekers into counseling-cum-guidance centers. Further, the increasing

shift to citizen-centric e-governance activities would require that registration need to be

accessible on-line so that job-seekers can register electronically to save time and

resources.

4. It is also noteworthy that among the recommendations of National Manufacturing

Competitive Council to increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector are

those relating to labour laws: "It is essential to look at various labour related issues with

the focus on creating an enabling environment that encourage growth and new

employment in the manufacturing sector as well as promotes skill development/up

gradation to enable such a growth to happen. (Para 3.3.9.1)"

5. Thus, for the 11th

Plan a growth-oriented labour policy together with effective

implementation of labour laws for the benefit and welfare of the vulnerable sections of

labour and workers of the unorganized sector would be required. In addition, what is

needed is an expansion and up gradation of the skill development facilities with private

participation and revisiting the role of the employment exchanges in the changing

context.

Strategy for the Eleventh Plan

6. The new strategy to deal with changing circumstances in the labour market would

focus on:

Strengthening institutional capacity for enforcement of labour laws

Empowerment of agrarian labour and labour working in the unorganized

sector

Simplification of labour laws and rules

Release and rehabilitation of child and bonded labour

Welfare measures for the benefit of Beedi workers

Expansion of skill-development facilities to cover the gaps in skill sets,

encouraging private investment in this area

Up gradation and modernization of the I.T.Is using the PPP route as well

Demand mapping and designing/redesigning course curriculum and

syllabi in line with changing demand

Strengthening institutional capacity for counseling and guidance, and

Automation of the Department and its subordinate offices

Goals for the Eleventh Plan

7. The goals of the 11th

Five Year Plan would be to implement the strategy through

the Department of Labour Resources. The ‗mantras‘ would be capacity building,

simplification of labour laws and rules, empowerment, enforcement, private sector

participation and improved delivery system.

PROPOSED SCHEMES

4.1 LABOUR WING

8. Organization of Training Camps for the workers of rural area and

unorganized sector: Due to illiteracy and lack of better organization, workers of rural

areas and unorganized sector are ignorant of their rights and provisions of the different

labour legislations. As a result thereof, they are deprived of the minimum wages and

other benefits. Hence, there is a strong need to create awareness and impart knowledge

about the different labour legislations among such workers. With a view to do so, it is

proposed to organize one-day training camps for the workers of rural areas. These

training camps would be organized in every district, in which at least one worker of

every Panchayat will participate. In the selection of workers, priority will be given to the

scheduled caste and women labourers. Likewise seminars/symposiums/workshop etc.

would be organized for the unorganised sector workers.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan(2007-12)-Rs.78.55 lakh

Outlay for Annual Plan(2007-08) -Rs. 11.61 lakh]

9. Survey, Release and Rehabilitation of Child Labourers: The proposed target

would be to release and rehabilitate 2500 child labourers during the 11th

Five Year Plan.

As per the Judgment of Hon‘ble Supreme Court dated 10.12.96 passed in M.C.Mehta v/s

State of Tamilnadu, it is obligatory on the part of the State Govt. to provide employment

to one adult member of the Child Labour‘s family who are released from the job of the

hazardous occupations and processes. If it is not possible to give employment to the one

adult member of the released child labour family, Govt. has to deposit Rs. 5000.00 @

each child labour in the District Child labour rehabilitation-cum-welfare fund. It is also

obligatory on the part of the State Government to survey the number of child labour and

take steps to release and rehabilitate them.For the release and rehabilitation of the child

labour a state level child labour cell has been constituted. For conducting raids for the

release of the child labourers from the hazardous occupations and processes and their

restoration, transportation facility is to be arranged; it is proposed to arrange through

outsourcing. Released child labourers will be given food, medicine, clothes etc befor their

restoration to their families. The Child labour survey will be conducted by the reputed

institution of national level. A child help line is proposed to help child labourers. In

addition, a state level flying squad will be constituted to implement the Child Labour

(Prohibition and Regulation) Act.

10. Organization of Bihar State Child Labour

Commission: To advise the State Govt. on prevention, welfare and

rehabilitation of Child Labour, a Bihar State Child Labour Commission was

established in the year 1999-2000 which was reconstituted in the year 2003-

04 2000 and again in March, 2007. In the financial year 2007-08,the

estimated annual expenditure for the establishment of commission is Rs.22

lakh and for its other activities, it is realized that the Rs. 10 lakh more is

needed.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan(2007-12)-Rs.160.00 lakh

11. Bonded Labour Rehabilitation Programme:The

Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976 has been in operation in the

State since 1976. The Bonded Labour Rehabilitation Progamme is a Central

Govt. sponsored programme in which at the expense of 20 thousand rupees,

one bonded labour is rehabilitated. Besides, the bonded labourers are

provided ‗Indira Awas‘, Social Security Pension and other‘ benefits under

the poverty elimination programs of the Government. The enforcement of

the Act and rehabilitation of the released bonded labour is monitored by the

National Human Rights Commission also. In current financial year 2007-08,

the target is to rehabilitate 550 bonded labourers for which 10,000/- as state

share and 10,000/- as central share i.e. 20,000/- per bonded labour would be

required.

12. EMPLOYMENT WING

Since the tenth five year plan, creation of job opportunities especially with high

quality facilities and services has been emphasized upon. According to the NSSO, during

2004-05 the labour force grew at 2.93% per annum, but the work force grew at 2.89%

per annum creating an unemployment gap. It is also to be noted that only 8% of the work

force of the country is engaged in the organized sector. This suggests that while the

organized sector is preferred by new entrants in the labour force, the employment in

unorganized sector though increasing many folds suffers from several shortcomings.

Therefore, in the 11th

five year plan, steps are proposed to be taken to improve the

employment conditions in the unorganized sector as well as to emphasize vocational

education and skill development programmes to increase employment in organized sector

and in self employment ventures.

13. The Employment service needs to be strengthened to discharge its present

mandate and assigned new roles for meeting the challenges of unemployment in the

emerging situation. A major change being purposed is the extension of the scope of

employment service to the unorganized sector which accounts as much as 92% of the

workforce and offers opportunities for absorption of the unemployed. This will expand

the ambit of the employment service to include the orientation of vocational guidance and

career counseling towards the unorganized sector, as well as an analysis of the labour

market including informal markets.

14. Expansion and Strengthening of the Employment Service: Globalization has

increased job opportunities especially in the unorganized sector. In order to distribute the

profit evenly, necessary information regarding the job opportunities with their

specification must be imparted to the unemployed youths specially the rural unemployed

in the remotest area of the state. For the purpose the career counseling and promotion of

self employment programmes must be carried out even in the remotest undeveloped

districts of the state. This necessitates the expansion of the network of employment

exchange vis-a-vis vocation guidance. For the purpose ten districts viz Kishanganj,

Araria, Bhabhua, Supaul, Sheikpura, Sheohar, Lakhisarai, Jamui, Arwal & Banka are

proposed to be provided with career information centers. Suitable colleges, schools or

Training Institutes at those places may be chosen to be entrusted the task of Career

Counseling and Career Information Centers. A faculty of repute may be given the

responsibilities. In order to a have good management over the network of various

branches of the Employment Service, District Employment Exchange/ Sub Regional

Employment Exchange are proposed to be empowered to moniter the whole work.

University Information and Guidance Centre‘s at three newly created Universities such as

Dr. Rajendra Prasad University, Chapra, Veer Kunwar Singh University, Arrah and B. P.

Mandal University, Madhepura are proposed to be established without the sanction of

any posts. Those centers may be looked after by a faculty entrusted with the task by the

Vice Chancellor of the University.

maintain records of registered unemployed on the basis of which it sponsors the names of

eligible candidates against vacancies based on various criteria. In order to get the

employment service utilized efficiently by the unemployed, it is desirable to evolve a way

of display of their Bio-data to the widest range of Employers in the National and

International Market. For this purpose the live register of the Employment Exchanges has

to be digitized. On-line registrations and on-line submissions are the needs of hour. E-

processes in the operation of Employment Exchanges will also help in collection and

dissemination of information regarding the persons engaged in economic activities and its

analysis from various socio-economical angles. This will facilitate quick, impartial and

efficient way of imparting Labour Market Information to the various levels of State as

well as Central Government.In addition, information from the National and International

Employment Market available on the internet would be tapped to create in-puts for the

vocational guidance and career counseling programmes.

counseling to the job/career seekers has become the main thrust in the 11th

five year plan

under Vocation Guidance programme. In the present economic scenario, skill

development has become the criteria to obtain a job rather than educational qualification.

In order to emphasize upon the new development in the thinking of Employer and in

order to find ways for skill development, Employment Exchanges should be developed as

the career counseller. For the purpose, career melas are proposed to be organized twice in

a year at the rate of 1 lakh in every district of the state. Seminar/ Conferences are

proposed to be organized at the State Level for the coverage of wider range of career

scopes and field employment and every faculty should be invited to present full text of

the course in the present Employment Market to the career/ job seekers. For the

successful implementation of Vocational Guidance Programme. It is proposed to spend

Rs. 3 lakh per year for this purpose. It is equally important to impart training to the

Employment Officers to make them updated with the various career counseling works in

each subject. The Training programme would be on a regular basis.

The Social Net

5.1 Poverty Alleviation Rural Bihar-Strategy and Programmes

The State and Union Government have initiated a number of schemes to improve

the living condition of rural population with emphasis on eliminating unemployment and

poverty. In order to implement the schemes effectively, the Rural Development

Department was formed during the first five year plan as the Community Development

Department, which was changed to its present nomenclature in 1980. The department

takes care of schemes related to poverty eradication including wage employment, self

employment through micro finance, homes for rural shelterless, development of rural

infrastructure like Ahars, Pynes, village roads, watershed development etc. The Schemes

are centrally and state sponsored but implemented and monitored by the Department. The

department is continuously endeavouring to provide job for unskilled labour in order to

enhance standard of living of rural people, encourage and help the poor for self

employment forming self help groups and providing financial help through DRDA &

banks, providing house for rural below poverty line shelterless families .

2. Department is currently implementing National Rural Employment Guarantee

Scheme-Bihar, Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarajgar Yojana, Indira Awas Yojana, Hariyali

Schemes, Different levels of officer/staffs have been appointed through the Bihar

Combined Entrance Competitive Exam Board on contract basis who will look after

NREGS.

STRATEGY FOR 11th PLAN

3. The biggest challenge facing Bihar India's third most populous State is

eliminating poverty especially in rural areas.90% of Bihar's Population lives in villages,

41.5% of the rural population lives below poverty line. There are deficiencies of

infrastructural facilities to these families. They are forced to live in dirty villages, lack of

knowledge of essential facilities are making them more physically and mentally weak.

4. Bihar‘s vision is to become a developed State by 2015. This requires a rapid

reduction of poverty. The first millennium development goal is to halve the BPL

population for Bihar whose earnings are less than one dollar per day. This means

reducing the BPL population to 22% by 2015 or by about 1.5% per year. The hunger and

poverty would have to be tackled by direct measures to provide them the basic minimum

needs of Roti, Kapda and Makan and Bijali, Sadak Pani, and now Broad band with an

emphasis on women's empowerment. This can be achieved by guaranteed wage

employment, productive livelihood through self employment and houses for the rural

poor. Further land and water development programmes can strengthen the rural economy

and ameliorate the condition of rural poor.

5. Poverty can be reduced more effectively not through programmes targetted at the

poor alone but through inclusive growth with a shift in employment to non- farm

activities. This requires an integrated strategy covering human resource development

through education, health, drinking water, sanitation, welfare and labour sector and

economic development through industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, irrigation,

energy, transport and telecom supplemented with targeted programmers for the poor

specially women.

6. The basic minimum needs of Roti, Kapada and Makan can be met through wage

employment, self employment and rural housing. Therefore the existing rural

employment guarantee scheme, SGSY, IAY and water shed development scheme would

continue as thrust programmes for hunger and deprivation elimination. The aim is to

strenthen the PRIs and field administration.

Review of 10th five year Plan

7. Sampurn Garmin Rojgar Yojna (S.G.R.Y)

The idea behind starting this scheme was to provide employment to rural poor and

to construct infrastructure in rural areas. The fund was to be provided largely by centre

and partly by State. The total outlay for 10th five year plan under this programme from

2003-04 to 2006-07 was Rs 578.5 cr. against which Rs 495.09 cr. could be spent . In year

2006-07 full amount of yearly budget was spent. Now the SGRY is subsumed in the

NREGA

8. National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme(N.R.E.G.S)

This scheme was introduced in 23 districts by central Government in 2nd

feb.2006. Earlier on going schemes are stopped after implementation of this scheme. The

primary objective of the scheme is to provide livelihood security to the wage seeker,

thereby preventing their migration and creating durable assets for sustained economic

growth. During 2006-07, since the scheme was new it took a little time for Officers to

absorb and due to general election in the year, full amount of outlay could not be spent.

9. N.F.F.W.P

In rural areas of 15 districts of State, N.F.F.W.P was run in order to give

employment and food as well. A portion of wage was paid in kind to labourers to ensure

food for the families. 54.6 % of available fund was spent during last financial Year . Now

this programme stands subsumed with the NREGS and hence no longer is in existence.

10. S.G.S.Y

This scheme is intended to provide self employment to rural population forming

self help group amongst the villagers. SHGs are provided subsidy as well as loan from

banks for their own trades. Under the programme, special safeguards have been provided

to vulnerable sections by way of reserving 50% benefits for SCs/STs 40% for women and

3% for disabled persons. It is envisaged that 50% of the groups formed in each Block

should be exclusively for women. Under this scheme 74% of the available fund could be

spent during 10th five year plan. Lack of personnel at district level, lack of good NGOs at

block level, lack of co-operation from banks, lack of awareness of SHGS and its process

and marketing problem contributed in not achieving the goal.

11. SREGS

State Govt. introduced this scheme in similar pattern of NREGS, in rest of 15

districts which were not covered under NREGS, from its own resources. As NREGS is

now covering all 38 districts of the State, SREGS has been withdrawn from this financial

year. In last financial year 2006-07, Rs. 140 Cr. was spent against the outlay of Rs. 150

cr. which is 93 percent of outlay.

12. IAY

Pucca building is provided to those BPL families who do not have their pucca

construction. During last financial year 98% of the outlay was spent and 3.15 lakhs

families were provided pucca buildings.

13. Hariyali

Improvement of barren land is the issue taken under this scheme. 30 Blocks of 6

districts of State is covered under DPAP and 60 Blocks of the State in 31 districts is

covered under IWDP. During last 4 years of last five year plan Rs. 6.99 crs was spent

against Rs. 9.68 Cr. available funds, i.e. 72% was spent.

14. PMGY

Upl iftment of rural house and new construction of house of BPL families

including smokeless stove and latrines are provided under this scheme. During last

financial year 82% of the out lay could be spent.

15. SWARANJAYANTI GRAM SWAROZGAR YOJANA (SGSY)

15.1 Launched in April, 1999, following the restructuring of the erstwhile Integrated

Rural Development Prgramme (IRDP) and its allied programmes, the Swaranjayanti

Gram Swarozagr Yojna (SGSY) seeks to bring the assisted poor families (Swarozgaris)

above the poverty line by organizing them into Self Help Group (SHGs) through the

process of social mobilization, their training and capacity building and provision of

income generating assets through a mix of bank credit and Government subsidy.

15.2 The SGSY programme is conceived as a process oriented programme for the poor

with emphasis on social mobilization and formation of SHGs. It is recognized that SHGs

move through various stages and therefore the programme stipulates that grading exercise

should be undertaken at the end of each stage. It has been envisaged that for the task of

SHG development, the DRDAs my seek the support of facilitators like NGOs.

Community Based Organizations etc. for initiating and sustaining the group development

process and up to Rs. 10,000/- can be provided to suitable organization /societies

individuals for formation, training and capacity building of SHGs. Further, under

programe, an amount equal (Min Rs5000/- & Max Rs10000/-) to the Groups Corpus is

provided as subsidy by D.R.D.A whereas Banks may give an amount equal to 4 times the

amount of group groups as cash credit to the S.H.G as Revolving Fund. Once the SHG

has demonstrated its capability for taking up an income generating activity assistance for

economic activity is provided in the form of subsidy and loan under the programme. The

subsidy is given at the rate of 30% of the project cost subject to a maximum of Rs. 7500/-

. In respect of SCs/STs and disabled persons subsidy is 50% of the project cost subject to

a maximum of Rs. 10,000/-. For group of Swarozagaris the subsidy is 50% of the cost of

the scheme to per capita subsidy of Rs. 10,000/- or Rs. 1.25 lakh whichever is less. There

is no monetary limit on subsidy for irrigation projects. Subsidy is back ended.

15.3 Under the programme, special safeguards have been provided to vulnerable

sections by way of reserving 50% benefits for SCs/STs 40% for women and 3% for

disabled persons. It is envisaged that 50% of the groups formed in each Block should be

exclusively for women.

15.4 As the scheme is process oriented in nature it is recognized that the State UTs

may be in different stages of implementation of the scheme. As such flexibility has been

given into the scheme so that components like training and capacity building,

infrastructure, revolving funds and subsidy for economic activities based on the local

requirements and the different stages of group formation. Further, fifteen percent of the

funds under the SGSY are set apart at the national level for Specials Projects. The special

projects are open to any sector which has self employment generation potential in rural

areas.

15.5 A central and state outlay of Rs. 139.98 and 46.66 crores has been provided for

the scheme in 2006-07. Under major rural development programmes the actual expense

during 2005-06, Budget provision and actual expense during 2006-07 and Budget

provision for 2007-08 has been Shawn in table 1

16. National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme

16.1 From 01.04.2007 a scheme is launched under the name of "National Rural

Employment Guarantee Scheme-Bihar" by rural development Ministry, Government of

India. Under this scheme a job card will be given to adult members of every rural family

after registering them. And after written demand of unskilled manual work by them

within 15 days, unskilled manual work is to be provided to every registered rural house

hold up to 100 days in a financial year. In case of none proving of works the state

government has to pay the applicant unemployment allowances. Main object of the

scheme is to provide livelihood security thereby preventing their migration and creating

durable assets to strengthen rural infrastructure by creating employment and durable

assets in the rural areas. Use of contractor and machine is prohibited.

16.2 Under the scheme expenditure incurred on the unskilled labours are to be borne

by government of India whereas expenditure incurred on the payment of the skilled and

semiskilled labours and purchase of materials is borne by centre as well as state

government in the ratio of 75:25. Schemes are selected by the Gram sabha under the

programme in which priority should be given to water conservation and drought proofing

works. Renovation of traditional irrigation sources, renovation of pyeen-Aahars, social

forestry, plantation, conservation of forest, micro irrigation schemes, small irrigation

projects, development of land belonging to sc/st, connectivity with roads to villages

which have benefited by Indira Awas Yojna.

16.3 The role of Gram Panchayat in execution in schemes under three tier Panchayati

Raj System is very important. Gram Panchayat has been entrusted with the preparation

of work Plan, registration of family, issuing of job cards, ensuring at least 50% work and

execution of work at village level. At block level the list obtained from Gram Panchayats

is approved and incorporated in Annual Plan and it is made available to District

Programme Coordinator/DDC within 30 days. The Annual Plan formulated by Panchayat

Samiti and Panchayat is reviewed by Zila Parisad and there after it is incorporated in

Annual Plan. Zila Parisad has to execute those schemes which extends to more then 1

block, connecting one Panchayat of a Block to a Panchayat of another block. Or in

addition to these Pyen, Jamindhari bund and canal connecting to one district to another

district are to be extenuated by Zila parisad .

16.4 The scheme is demand based. labours are given employment on demand and for

this purpose fund is always kept available. From gram panchayat to state level different

committees are constituted for vigilance and monitoring. To maintain transparency in

payment, wages are paid through banks & P.O.as far as possible. To maintain

transparency in the executive of the schemes social audits are done in the Gram shabha.

16.5 To make the scheme successful, staff and officers have been appointed on

contract basis. To make the common people aware of the aims and objects of the scheme,

wide publicity has been frequently given in different daily news papers I.E.C. materials

have been prepared in regional languages.

17. RURAL HOUSING - INDIRA AWAAS YOJANA (IAY)

17.1 Housing is one of the components considered to be vital for human survival and,

therefore, essential for socio-economic development. As part of the efforts to meet the

housing need of the rural poor. Government of India, is implementing Indira Awass

Yojana (IAY) since 1985. In Ninth Five Year Plan, under the Special Action Plan for

Social Infrastructure, Housing was identified as one of the priority areas which aimed at

removing shelterlessness in the rural areas. To achieve this Special Action Plan for Rural

Housing was prepared.

17.2 The objective of IAY is to provide dwelling units free of cost to the Schedule

Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) and freed bonded labourers and non SCs/STs

living below poverty line in rural areas. From 1995-96, the IAY benefits have been

extended to the widows or next of kin of defense personnel killed in action. Benefits have

also been extended to ex-servicemen and retired members of para military forces as long

as they fulfill normal eligibility condition of IAY 3 per cent of funds are reserved for

benefit of disabled below the poverty line in rural areas. However the benefit to non SCs

and STs shall not be more than 40% of IAY allocation including 15% for minorities.

17.3 The ceiling on construction assistance was revised on 1 April, 2004 and currently

is set at Rs. 25,000/- per unit for the plain areas and Rs. 27,500/- for the hilly & difficult

areas. Since there was an acute need for upgradation of unserviceable kutcha house in

rural areas, it has been stipulated from 1 April, 2004 that up to 20 per cent the total funds

can be utilized for conversion of unserviceable kutcha house into pucca semi pucca house

and for providing subsidy to the beneficiary availing loan under the credit cum subsidy

scheme. Fund allocation of these two schemes i.e. I.A.Y Up gradation & Credit cum

subsidy schemes have been modified now.

17.4 Under Indra Aawas Yojna the central assistance to States/UTs is given on the

basis of poverty ratio and housing shortage in which each component is given equal

weightage. For this purpose the poverty ratio calculated by Planning Commission is taken

into account whereas shortage of housing is determined on the basis of previous Census.

The criteria of inter district allotment for Indra Aawas is the ratio of total population of

SC/ST of States/UTs to the total population of SC/ST of district in respect of shortage

of housing.Both these components of inter-district allotment get equal weightage. The

targets within a block of a district are determined on the basis of these criteria.

17.5 In the Year 2007-08 under this scheme total allotment was Rs. 1132.19 crore and

against the total available fund Rs. 1683.67 crore Rs. 1185.88 crore was spent and 3.15

lack new houses were built and upgraded.

18 DEVELOPMENT OF WASTELANDS/ DEGRADED LANDS

18.1 The development of degraded and wasteland has been accorded a very high

priority by the Government. An increase in carrying capacity of degraded lands to

support human population and livestock in these areas on a sustainable basis has one of

the major objectives of programmes aimed at wasteland development. Though there are a

number of estimate of degraded land in the Tenth Plan working Group in Wasteland

Development and Natural Resource Management had indicated that out of 107 million

hectares of degraded needed to be treated at the beginning of the Tenth Plan period.

During first three years of the 10 the plan the different ministries of Indian Government

has sanctioned the amounts for the development of approximately six lakh hectare

degraded and waste land . Different ministries handle watershed development

programmes for treatment of degraded land. Department of Land Resources, ministry of

Rural Development provides support to state Government for centrally sponsored scheme

CSSs of Drought Prone Area Programme DPAP. Ministry of Environment and Forest

operates a scheme for rejuvenation of degraded forests. Ministry of Agriculture

employments National watershed Development Project for Rained Area and Wasteland

Development Project in shifting cultivation areas in the north eastern states. Those

Programmes are analyzed below.

18.2 Total area of waste land in Bihar is 5443.68Sq. Km in which 1403.21Sq. km area

covered with water logging (i.e 25.78%) and 51% covered with degraded forest .

Therefore 23.22% of total wasteland area can be utilized.

19 DROUGHT PRONE AREA PROGRAMME (DPAP)

19.1 The DPAP was launched in 1973-74 to tackle the special problems faced by those

areas in the country constantly affected by severe drought condition based on the

recommendations of the Hanumanth Rao Committee (1994), the programme has been

Five year Plan : 638831.35 lakh

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

Reducing the BPL population to 22% by 2015 i.e. by about 1.5% per year.

Providing guaranteed wage employment, productive livelihood through self

employment and houses for the rural poor.

Reduction of poverty more effective through inclusive growth with a shift in

employment to non-farm actives.

Continuation of the existing rural employment guarantee scheme, SGSY, LAY

and Watershed Development Scheme as thrust programmes for hunger and

deprivation elimination.

15 districts where SREGS was being implemented by State Govt. with its own

resources has been included in NREGS with effects from 01.04.2007. i.e. now

NREGS is in all 38 districts.

5.2 PANCHAYAT RAJ

The Bihar Panchayat Raj Act, 2006 has been enacted after replacing and

repealing the Bihar Panchayat Raj Act, 1993. As per the provision of the Act, the election

to the three-tier Panchayats was held in May-June, 2006 and currently 38 Zila Parishads,

531 Panchayat Samitis, 8463 Gram Panchayats and 8463 Gram Kachhary are in

existence.

2. The functions of Panchayats are wide-ranging as a result of the devolution of

functions from various departments and include amongt others like Agriculture,

Fisheries, Animal husbandry, Social forestry, Khadi & Village Industries, Rural Housing,

Drinking Water, Roads, Education, Health, Poverty Alleviation Programmes, Social

Welfare, Public Distribution System, Women and Child Development etc.

3. In light of the Panchayat Raj Institutions being entrusted with various functions

and responsibilities they would require adequate financial assistance to perform in

conformity. In changing scenario of globalization, there is an increasing role of PRIs vis-

à-vis the implementation of developmental schemes at the level of the Panchayats.

4. At present the Gram Kachharies do not have proper infrastructure facilities as a

result of which they are not functioning smoothly. A considerable amount of financial

assistance would be required to provide them with the requisite facilites.

11th Five Year Plan - Goal and Strategies

5. The present objective of the 11th Five Year Plan is to enable Panchayats to

undertake planning and implement development schemes, promote community life and

generate employment opportunities. Since the PRIs have an important role to play in the

democratic functioning, framing of development schemes and their implementation it is

necessary to provide adequate resources to the PRIs to discharge their duties, in

conformity with their constitutional mandate.

Special Groups

6.1 WELFARE OF SCHEDULED CASTES AND TRIBES

Socially disadvantaged groups include scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled

tribes (STs). After the bifurcation of the state, the major target groups have been the SCs,

as the STs now only account for 0.91% of the total population of the state, while the SC

population is 15.72%. At present the Department operates several schemes for SCs and

STs for their educational and economic development, and to provide them with social

assistance.

2. The SC and ST Welfare Department operates various educational schemes

providing stipends, residential schools, hostels, and reimbursement of examination fees to

boost literacy amongst SCs and STs. Since the SC and ST Welfare Department is now

the nodal department for the implementation of SCSP(Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan) and

TSP ( Tribal Sub-Plan), the target will be to consolidate schemes relating to SCs and STs

administered by other departments under one roof.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for the Eleventh Plan

3. Against the Tenth Plan revised outlay of Rs.295.22 crore for the welfare of SCs, STs

and OBCs, expenditure incurred during the Tenth Plan period was Rs.271.42 crore (91.94

Agriculture and Allied Sectors

7.1 AGRICULTURE

Agriculture is at the core of Bihar‘s economy. Approximately 90 percent of the

state‘s population resides in rural areas, and more than three-quarters of the workforce is

employed in agriculture. In 2006-07 the contribution of agriculture and its allied services

to the state domestic product was 29.26 percent, and although it is far lower than the 48

percent registered in 1980, it remains among the highest shares in the country. While the

country witnessed one of the most severe drought in the first year of the Tenth Plan

(2002-03), agriculture in Bihar showed its resilience as food grain production declined

only marginally from 116.82 lakh MT (2001-02) to 110.85 lakh MT (2002-03), and in

2003-04 food grain production increased 1.1 per cent to 112.11 lakh MT. However, for

two successive years since then, food grain production has declined steeply: to 79.6 lakh

MT in 2004-05 and 81.12 lakh MT in 2005-06. An interim assessment for 2006-07 shows

signs of revival in agriculture, with food grain production estimated at 112.07 lakh MT.

Financial Achievement of 10th Plan

2. The total revised outlay for 10th Five year Plan was Rs. 23441.61 lakh against

which Rs. 21144.10 lakh (90.19%) was spend during 10th Plan period.

Strategy for 11th

Five Year Plan

3. Bihar with a geographical area of about 94.2 thousand square km is divided by

river Ganges into two parts, the north Bihar with an area of 53.3 thousand square km and

the south Bihar having an area of 40.9 thousand square km. Based on soil

characterization, rainfall, temperature and terrain, four main agro-climatic zones in Bihar

have been identified. These are: Zone-I, North Alluvial Plain, Zone-II, north East

Alluvial Plain, Zone-III A, South East Alluvial Plain and Zone-III B, South West Alluvial

Plain, each with its own unique prospects.

4. Though endowed with good soil, adequate rainfall and good ground water

availability Bihar has not yet realized its full agricultural potential. Its agricultural

productivity is one of the lowest in the country, leading to rural poverty, low nutrition

and migration of labour. Given the substantial yield gaps of most agricultural

commodities on the one hand and low farmers‘ income and widespread rural poverty on

the other, and also taking into account the richness of natural resources and high level of

peoples‘ aspirations, a gradual approach for liberating the people of Bihar from twin traps

of hunger and poverty will neither be economically sound not socially expedient. In the

context of national food security, it is worthwhile recalling words of Dr. M.S.

Swaminathan, from the report of National Commission on Farmers: ―Unless we develop

this region into an agriculturally prosperous area, our country may have to revert to a

ship-to-mouth existence once again after 40 years‖.

In the context of the need for rapid development a roadmap for agricultural

development for the 11th

plan period has been prepared.The preparation of roadmap

involved calling a 'Kisan Panchayat'. The panchayat was attended by the Hon'ble chief

minister, his cabinet colleague, secretaries and higher officials from agriculture and allied

department and more than 2000 farmers from across the state. In the preparation of Road

Map Indian Agriculture Research council and Rajendra Agriculture University has

provided an important role. The roadmap sets tangible results and therefore would prove

a significant milestone in achieving the 11th

plan targets. The milestones are described in

Table-1.

Table-1

Physical Target for Agriculture Development in 11th Five Year Plan

(i) Enhancement of Crop productivity.

i. Rice 14.86 Qtl/ha to 29.72 Qtl/ha

ii. Wheat 20.55 Qtl/ha to 30.50 Qtl/ha

iii. Maize 26.71Qtl/ha to 35.25 Qtl/ha

iv. Pulses 7.22 Qtl/ha to 10.13 Qtl/ha

v. Oil seeds 10.32 Qtl/ha to 12.00 Qtl/ha

vi. Sugarcane 455.6 Qtl/ha to 600.00 Qtl/ ha

vii. Fruits 109.32 Qtl/ha to 146.05 Qtl/ha

viii. Vegetables 165.92 Qtl/ha to 200.60 Qtl/ha

(Note: Present productivity figures relate to (2006-07 fruits & vegetables 2005-06

targeted figures relate to 2012).

(ii) Enhancement of Crop Intensity from 133% (2004-05) to 161%.

(iii) Per capita annual agricultural production to increase from Rs. 661 (2004-05) to

Rs. 1061.

(iv) The land productivity level in value terms to increase from Rs. 7351 (2004-05) to

Rs. 11799.

5. The emphasis of Agriculture development has been based on land up till known

which was not beneficial for farmers as per their expectation from the process of

development. To increase the rate of growth of agriculture development it is essential to

increase the income of farmers along with the productivity. Besides, it is also to be taken

into account that the natural resources available in the state should be intact. In this way

five major goals of the road map on agriculture and allied sectors are determined as

follows.

(A) To ensure increase in income of farmers to viable levels, especially considering

the small size of holdings.

(B) To ensure food security through increase productivity combined with profitability.

(C) To foster nutritional security through raising levels of productivity as well as

raising living standards of rural societies.

(D) To revitalized farming in order to create gainful employment and to check

migration.

(E) To ensure the participation of women in agriculture development.

Strategy

6. Assuring food and nutritional security and enhancing agricultural growth with

justice, the proposed work Plan has been divided into four major groups:

Inputs: Supply and Quality.

Transfer of technology and extension.

Income generation schemes.

Marketing.

7. INPUTS: A major pillar of these programmes will be input management.

Amongst inputs, seed is an important factor that contributes to productivity. Considering

very low levels of seed replacement rate, it is proposed to implement a crash programme

in introducing new varieties of seeds in the Bihar villages. This crash programme will be

run by the farmer, for the farmer . Apart from this innovative seed programme, in a large

number of villages, certified seeds will be produced through seed village programmes.

The road map visualizes a big peoples' seed movement building up in next four years to

make self independent in the matter of seeds and targeted growth in agriculture

production will be achieved.

7.1 For producing these certified seeds, foundation seeds will have to be produced at

government farms and university/KVKs. Schemes for infrastructural development of

these farms are also a part of this road map. Substantial seed processing capacity is

proposed to be created in Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam. Similarly, Bihar State Seed

Certification Agency will also be strengthened to meet certification requirement of a

large number of farmers.

7.2. Horticulture holds the key for increased income, especially in case of small plots

schemes. Similar to field crops, programmes are also planned for increasing availability

of quality planting materials and vegetable seed production.

7.3 To boost production of potato seeds within the state, a special programme for

potato seed production will be implemented. Similarly, for the expanding needs of

sugarcane industry, a special seed distribution programme through sugar factories also

forms part of this plan of action. Tissue culture laboratories for banana and sugar cane are

also planned for meeting increasing demand.

7.4 Apart from seeds other major input in fertilizer. But taking into account of lack of

assured availability of these fertilizers, the road map proposes the State to play a more

direct role in import of phosphatic and potassic fertilizers.

7.5 Taking note of constraints in supply of these fertilizers, the road map pushes for a

massive programme for vermi-compost and green manures. The programmes are also

designed ensure supply of boron, zinc, gypsum and pyrites at subsidized rates, wherever

soil conditions so require.

7.6 Another crucial input in the pesticides. A programme for rejuvenating existing,

plant protection centres forms a part of the road maps.

7.7 Apart from ensuring supply of inputs and their popularization, the road map also

emphasizes quality aspects of the inputs in the 11th Five Year Plan. Soil testing

laboratories will be constructed in all the blocks. At district level, the soil testing

laboratories will also have seed testing wing. Apart from soil and seed testing

laboratories, bio-control laboratories (for rearing natural defenders of crops), pesticide

and fertilizer laboratories are also planned.

7.8 An important requirement for increasing productivity in to prepare fields quickly

and to reduce time required between crop cycles. A massive farm mechanization

programme, with emphasis on gender-friendly implements is planned.

8. TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY AND EXTENSION: In modern agriculture

technology in a major input is transfer of agriculture technology at the grass-root level,

the road map proposes to establish 'schools', in farmer's fields. Farmers will be tutored on

prescribed farming practices by trained personnel in their fields.

8.1 Demonstration of various technologies and exposure visits of farmers to other

states would also be important components of transfer of technology.

8.2 The flagship scheme of agricultural extension of the state, the Kisan Samman

Yojana, would be further strengthened with experiences learned in the past. At block

level, use of I.T. in agriculture is proposed to be enhanced through establishment of e-

kisan bhavans, which will also have soil-testing laboratories, farmer information centre

etc.

9. INCOME GENERATION SCHEMES: This road map primarily aims to

increase the income of the farmers, with this in view, integrated farming models prepared

by ICAR and Rajendra Agriculture University are proposed to be implemented. The

scheme is to maximize farm-income through convergence of schemes like dairy,

fisheries, horticulture, poultry and duck rearing and crop husbandry ideally on a one-

acre.

9.1 The road map also visualizes reclamation of degraded land through watershed

development in districts of south Bihar.

10. MARKETING: A major programme visualized in the road map is integrated

market development with a view that farmer get a better share of the ultimate consumer

price which will establish modern agriculture marketing system and incise the income of

farmer.

Investment in Agriculture and Services

11. Seed Plan: Since seed is the delivery system through which almost all scientific

advancements get transferred to the crop production scenario, availability of quality seed,

is undisputedly a major factor for improvement of this sector. The present programme has

been envisaged with the objective of introducing quality seeds of all major field and

horticultural crops and sugarcane in a four years programme. For this road map, a certain

―thrust crops‖ are identified for Government intervention.

(A) Field Crops: Paddy, Wheat, Maize, Arhar, Gram, Lentil, Moong, Pea,

Rapeseed/Mustard, Linseed, and Sugarcane.

(B) Horticultural Fruit Crops: Mango, litchi, Guava, Banana, Aonla

(C) Vegetables: Brinjal, Tomato, Okra, Onion, Pea, Potato and Drumstick

11.1 Aim of Seed Plan would be not only to achieve self-sufficiency in seed

production, but, to achieve so with quality seeds. The Roadmap target to achieve in the

next four years the following SRR: -

Wheat and paddy : 35%, Pulses: 20%

Rapeseed / mustard: 55%, Maize: 70%

11.2 This process has already been set in motion by reviving all the state agricultural

farms, Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam and by strengthening Seed Certification Agency. The

Roadmap proposes to implement a crash programme for saturating the State with quality

seeds.

11.2.1 Crash programme for field crops: The present plan is prepared with the

objective of introducing quality seeds of identified field crops to each village of Bihar.

Time-frame visualized a period of four years initially. The process would create

sufficiency of quality seeds in the state, which would certainly make a paradigm shift

towards enhanced productivity and production. This would contribute immensely in

achieving economic prosperity and facilitate in attaining a robust economy in the country

as a whole.

11.2.2 Implementation of Seed Plan : Two farmers in each village will be provided

with specified quantity of foundation seed (seed material required for half acre in cereals

and for quarter acre in pulses and oil seeds) at 50 % cost for seed multiplication. The

produce will be transferred horizontally from farmer to farmer through traditional barter

methods practiced in Bihar for such as sawai (one measure of seed for 1¼ measure of

grain) dedha (one measure of seed for 1½ measure of grain) etc.

Strategies:

New promising districts wise varieties for thrust crops have been identified.

Breeder seed will be procured from ICAR/SAU Institutions.

Foundation seeds will be produced on Seed multiplication farms.

Processing and operating capacity of Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam will be increased.

Seed Certification Agency will be strengthened to maintain the quality of seed

with registration of 50,000 ha seed production area.

A unique programme of horizontal transfer of (farmer to farmer) quality seeds

will be implemented.

There will be requirement of Rs. 10000.00 lakh for the implementation of seed plan

including crash programme.

For this programme, an individual farmer is proposed to be given following quantities

of foundation seeds. Total seed requirements are also shown in the table below:

Sl. No. Crop Quantity of seed to be

9 Linseed 2.0 1562.2

11.3 Horticulture crops: For enhancing employment opportunities and attaining food

and nutritional security, Bihar holds a vast potential for growing large variety of

horticultural crops especially fruit crops. Although it is one of the leading producers of

litchi, mango, banana and guava in India, the area and productivity of these fruit crops

was almost stagnant for many years, through in recent times the outlook is changing. The

role of planting materials is very important in increasing production of a crop. For the fast

development of horticulture adequate availability of quality planting materials of fruit

crops need to be made available to the farmers. In the state of Bihar mango, litchi, guava

and banana are major fruit crops and the roadmap would be focusing on these crops.

During 2006-07, 17 progeny nurseries belonging to the State Government with quality

mother plants had been revived giving a push to the production of planting materials.

Targets for new plantations are Mango: 15500 ha, Litchi: 4500 ha, Guava: 4500 ha,

Aonla: 4000 ha, and Banana: 10000 ha.

Above schemes will be implemented on pattern of National Horticulture Mission.

11.4 Sugarcane: In case of sugarcane, seed is to be supplied by the sugar factories

from their farms. Promising varieties grown in 12 districts of Bihar are CoP

9301, CoS 96268, CoS 767, BO 139, UP 9530 and BO 147. If the seed is to be

procured from other agencies, the indent of seed will be submitted by the

concerned sugar factories to the seed supplying agencies by end of August each

year with information to Cane Industry Department and S.R.I., Pusa. Factory will

provide the list of villages and name of the farmers to the Cane Industry

Department by the end of July each year along with variety wise seed

requirement and source of availability. The cost of seed alongwith transportation

cost will be paid by Cane Industry Department to the concerned sugar factories.

12. Soil Health Management Programme

12.1 Vermi/NADEP Compost: Overuse of chemical fertilizers is stagnating food

production in developed states like Punjab. Keeping in mind, the harmful use of chemical

fertilizer, an ambitious bio-fertilizer programme is visualized through vermin and

NADEP compost. Vermicompost, apart from supplying nutrients and growth enhancing

hormones to plants, improves the soil structure leading to increase in water and nutrient

holding capacities of soil. NADEP compost are relatively bulky materials such as animal

and plant wastes added to soil mainly to improve the physical condition to replenish its

humus content, to maintain optimum condition for microbial activity and make good a

small part of the plant nutrients removed by crop or lost through leaching or soil erosion.

13. Crop Protection

Crop losses due to insect-pests and diseases considerably reduce the farm income. It is

essential to evolve methods and techniques to protect the crop losses that are suitable to

the environment and are easily accessible. For this wide publicity and extension of

technical knowledge will be done.

13.1 Integrated Pest Management is a technique of crop-protection, which is intended

to make awareness among the farmers at large, regarding the crop-field environment and

harmful effects of injudicious use of chemical pesticides. This technique is mainly

constituted with following practices integrating all the components on Farmers Field

Schools (FFS). The FFS model of extension is discussed later. The other elements of

IPM are:

(A) Operationalization of Plant Protection Centres: At present the P.P. centres

numbering 324 are not functioning and it is proposed to operationalize them through PPP

mode. Further there is a need for covering all the blocks of the State. The centre will be

run on services chargeable from the farmers on reasonable rate of plant protection

measures and timely availability of P.P. machines for its application. These centres will

also be used for distributing bio-origin pesticides at subsidized rates to farmers.

(B) Bio-Control Laboratory: Natural defenders of the pest, the friendly insects and

organisms, are reared at these labs. They will be disseminated timely in the field to create

a favourable bio-environment.

Physical Targets:

Items/Year 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Total

Bio- control lab 3 3 6

(C) Phyto-Sanitory Laboratory: Export of goods of agriculture produce needs Phyto-

sanitized. Existing Phyto-sanitory Lab are proposed to be further strengthened.

(D) Quality Control Laboratories: Carbonic and bio fertilizer and bio pesticides

have become popular due to eco-friendliness. There is the need of three new fertilizer

testing laboratories and pesticide /bio-insecticide laboratories for the testing of 4000

samples for the availability of quality fertilizer and pesticide to the farmers. The present

capacity of Quality Control Laboratories is 2500 samples that will be increased up to

4500 samples per year.

14. Farm Mechanization: Agriculture Mechanization is a means to introduce

improved implements and machines for different agricultural practices to increase

productivity. Mechanization helps in timely land preparation, timely sowing and timely

harvesting of crops. Use of improved implements for land preparation reduces cost and

time. This is important in the Bihar context, where productivity is affected by late sowing

of cereals. In order to promote farm mechanization this road map proposes for

distribution of farm implements on subsidized cost. It is proposed to give 50% subsidy on

power tiller, zero till machine, rotavator, combine harvester, paddy transplanter,

conoweeder, reaper, sugarcane cutter planter,land leveller and other modern and

improved implements. For tractor and some specified instrument subsidy will be 25%.

Emphasis will be given on gender friendly equipments. Agricultural implements

workshop were established at Patna, Arrah, Purnea, Muzaffarpur for repair of farm

implements and also for the training of the extension officers. Now these workshops are

in a dilapidated condition. These workshops need to be renovated. The renovation work

will involve repair of building infrastructure and purchase of new equipment.

15. Transfer of Technology

Technology is a critical input in modern agriculture. This road map visualizes not

excluding any farmer from modern agriculture technology. Following measure would be

used for transfer of technology, through ATMA platform.

15.1 Farmers’ Field School:

Farmers‘ Field School is the most important medium of extension for the

purposes. For one day a week, continuously for 20 weeks (20 days) 30 farmers drawn

from catchments of 1000 ha. Will be trained in cropping practices in a farm chosen for

this purpose. Full coverage of the state with Farmers‘ Field School is expected to be

achieved by 2011-12. Cost norms for a single Farmers‘ Field School is kept at Rs. 17000.

15.2 Demonstration: Traditionally demonstration has effectively been used for

transfer of crop production technology to the farmers. Crop demonstration is based on the

principal ―seeing is believing‖ wherein farmers test the modern technology in their own

field and later on adopt it. Large scale demonstration will be conducted in farmers‘ field

on important crop production technology, integrated nutrient management, hybrid rice,

SRI technology. Rs. 2000 per ha incentive will be provided to the farmers for conduct of

demonstration. The cost norm for the hybrid rice demonstration will be Rs 3000 per ha.

15.3 Farmers’ Training and Exposure Visit: Farmer scientist interaction for direct

interface between farmers and scientists farmers training will be conducted in KVKs and

also at the block and village level. For each farmer training Rs 5000 will be provided.

Farmer‘s exposure visit to centres of excellence would be conducted to create awareness

among the farmers. A group of 20 farmers will be taken to agriculture research institute /

national/ international centers for which Rs 50000 per batch will be provided the cost will

cover to and fro journey including the incidental cost.

15.4 Award to progressive farmers: Progressive farmers who have achieved

distinctive successes in agriculture will be honoured so that the peer farmers emulate him

and he feels encouraged to adopt farming his full time profession. Under ―Kisan Samman

Yojna‖ best farmer at block level will be honoured with ―Kisan Sri‖ and a cash award of

Rs. 1 lakh, at district level best farmer will be honoured with ―Kisan Bhusan‖ and a cash

prize of Rs 2.00 lakh. At the state level best farmer will be honoured with ―Kisan Ratna‖

and a cash award of Rs. 5.00 lakh.

15.5 Officers’ training at Rajendra Agriculture University: To update the technical

knowledge of the extension workers capacity building of extension functionaries would

be emphasized. Rajendra Agriculture University would mandatorily conduct training for

extension officers before start of each crop season.

15.6 Similarly it is planned to use facilitators for various training programmes and field

schools. For a two day module, Rs. 1000 per trainee is taken as cost norm.

15.7 Agriculture Extension: Unfortunately over the last two decades, the village

level agricultural extension machinery has almost withered away or are deployed

elsewhere in rural construction works, PRI management etc.

(A) Panchayat Level Presence: To rejuvenate the Agriculture Department it is

essential to have its own set up for management and execution of agriculture

programmes. Taking into account the population of farmers, for effective extension work,

should be deployed at Panchayat level. Designated as Panchayat Agriculture officer, he

or she who would work directly under the Block Agriculture Officer so that the technical

and fundamental inputs could be delivered to the farmers effectively

(B) Block Level: To execute the different programmes effectively an establishment of

separate Block Agriculture Development Officer along with subordinate Agriculture

officers depending on the no of Panchayats in the Block to be set up. All Block

Agriculture Development officers will operate under the direct control of the District

Agriculture officers. District Agriculture officer in the district should be assisted by

expert officers in different fields. Restructuring of agriculture department to meet the

growing needs of the farmers of the state would be studied.

15.8 e-Kisan Bhawan: A Kisan Bhawan is visualized with under mentioned facilities

in each block headquarters.

(A) Farmer Information and advisory Centre, Soil testing lab, Training centre,

Dormitory for farmers, Plant protection centre, I.T. and market intelligence centre,

Agriculture Machinery bank for custom-hiring, Weather information Administration

wing (BADO‘s ) office. Each centre would have a genset and would have internet

connection. These e-Kisan‖ bhawan would be a part of larger I.T. network of the

Agriculture Department and farmers would have access to weather and other information

on real time basis. Part of the services of these centres would be through PPP mode and

part directly financed. Rs. 25 Lakh per centre is proposed to be the capital expenditure.

For the eleventh plan period the total cost required would be around Rs. 13093.00 lakh.

16. Integrated Farming Model

Indian Council of Agricultural Research has developed a one acre model of

Integrated Farming Model which on adoption ensures higher income to farmers. This

model is based on farming system approach which incorporates different enterprises viz.

crop production, animal rearing and fisheries. Integrated Farming ensures optimal

utilization of resources as the waste of one enterprise becomes a useful input for the other

enterprise. Therefore the cattle dung is used as the fertilizing material for fish pond and

for the crop production. Bihar agriculture which is predominantly small farm agriculture

offers huge promise for increasing the income of farmers. In order to popularize the

model it is proposed to incentives farmers for its adoption. For one acre a support of Rs.

3000 is proposed under this road map. Physical programme is outlined below:

17. Soil & Water Conservation Activities in Rainfed Areas

17.1 There is undulated topography in the foot hills of sub plateau region spreading

from Banka district to Kaimur district in the south of Ganges. Rainfed agriculture is

complex, diverse and risk prone also characterized by low level of productivity and low

input usage. Variability in rainfall results in wide variation and instability in yields.

Therefore, priority is to be given to the holistic and sustainable development of rainfed

areas based on watershed approach. For development of these rainfed areas programmes

like construction of Water harvesting structure, Earthen Check Dam are to be taken

besides dry land horticulture and agro forestry activities.

17.2 Construction of Water Harvesting Structures: At the rate of Rs. 1.00 lakh per

structure, 2200 water harvesting structures are proposed to be constructed.

17.3 Silt Detention Dams: Dams are essential to prevent siltation of water bodies. At

the rate of Rs. 91,300.00 per structure, 1108 structures are proposed to be constructed.

17.4 Earthen Check Dam: At a unit cost of Rs. 12,300.00 per structure, 5280 structures

are proposed to be constructed.

17.5 Dryland Horticulture and Agro-forestry: At Rs. 15,000.00 per hectare, about

4000 hectares of degraded land is proposed to be brought under this scheme.

18. Mini Weather Station

The success and failure of agricultural enterprises depend on whims of weather.

Bihar is the state where there is too much variability and uncertainties of weather

condition leading to recurring hazards such as heat wave, cold wave, drought and flood.

All these weather conditions play havoc in Bihar agriculture, thus bringing great misery

to the farming community. One of the reasons ascribed to low level of productivity is

high propensity towards natural hazards constraining investment in agriculture and also

the adoption of modern technology. In view of this fact knowledge of cyclic change of

good and poor year of rainfall conditions based on historical data becomes good source of

information reducing cost of relief operation during drought and flood consequently

tackling these hazards more systematically. Not only would the temperature data

analysis on district level prove adequate information tool for successful crop management

under changing warming scenario. In this road map, establishment of mini weather

station at each block is planned. The scheme will be implemented in consultation with the

IMD.

19. Bihar State Micro- Irrigation Project (BSMIP)

Bihar State Micro Irrigation Project (BSMIP) envisages bringing an area of

2,00,000 ha under drip and sprinklering irrigation systems covering 534 blocks in 38

districts of the state of Bihar, involving a total project cost of Rs 708 crores. The

programme will be implemented so as to cover all possible crops, which are amenable to

adoption of drip or sprinkler irrigation systems. The project will be implemented in a

planned phased manner during the next 4 financial years.

The specific objectives of the project are as follows:

1. To improve water utilization efficiency.

2. To improve energy use (power/ electricity) efficiency in irrigated agriculture.

3. To increase farmers' income and consequently improve their standard of living.

4. To empower the farmers with improved technological package including new

growing methods, irrigation, fertigation & crop management practices to

overcome (or mitigate) the misery under unpredictable agricultural and diverse

agricultural conditions.

5. To impart pre & post harvest technological practices to farmers so as to grow and

produce quality fresh agricultural commodities to meet international standards

consequently stretching the market base in addition to the domestic local markets.

Operationalization of the Project

1. The state govt has to approve expenditure for providing financial assistance for

equipment of Micro Irrigation system for Drip and sprinkler to the farmers of the

state.

2. An independent govt nodal agency having complete infrastructure may be

assigned the responsibility to implement the Micro Irrigation Project in the state.

Fortunately, one such agency called ATMA exists in the state and has widespread

infrastructure at the district and block level. The same can be suitably augmented

to meet the demands of BMIP.

3. Financial assistance to be made available to all farmers in all district of the state

of Bihar, for all crops except paddy and jute crops.

4. Due to different spacing of Agriculture & Horticulture crops, the cost of Drip &

sprinkler installation per hectare differs according to the spacing. Thus the state

government based on technical specifications and discussion with the MIS

suppliers and Govt Technical Committee shall decide the unit cost of the system.

5. Total cost of products & services of the system provided by the Micro Irrigation

System (MIS) agency i.e. the financial assistance component and farmers share

shall be totally paid by the state govt, and the farmers will deposit their share with

the State Govt Agency.

Subsidy by the Central & State Government:

General Farmers (Small/ Marginal/ SC/ ST/ Women): 70%

Maximum amount of subsidy to be paid to a farmer,

Sprinkler Irrigation System: Max area of 5 ha and financial assistance of

20. AGRICULTURE MARKETING DEVELOPMENT

20.1 In 2006 Bihar Agricultural Produce Marketing Act, 1960, was repealed. From the

time Bihar Agriculture Produce Market (Repeal) Act 2006 became effective, the

Government of Bihar has been engaged in devising ways and means to address the issues

of ensuring that a larger share of the final price goes to the farmer in the State. This road

map proposes comprehensive development of agricultural markets from farms to state of

art terminal markets.

20.2 Agricultural Market Development Programme: At the apex of the marketing

system in Bihar, there will be Model Terminal Markets (MTM) that would be linked with

Agri-Business Centres (ABCs), Rural Hats (RHs) and On Farm Primary Processing

Centres (OFPPCs). The ABCs, RHs and OFPPCs will be directly marketing agricultural

produce but will also have the option of linking farmers with the MTMs in the area.

20.3 By way of support infrastructure 8 to 10 KM of road would be essential for

providing last mile connection to MTM and other markets. This funds for these roads can

be located in NREGP, Pradhan Mantri/Mukhya Mantri Sadak Yojana and Road

Construction department. Full back-up power supply arrangement through Gen Set is also

considered essential as also telecom and water supply arrangements at MTMs and other

markets.

20.4 The comprehensive market infrastructure scheme also proposes to make optimum

utilization of the assets of the erstwhile ―Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board‖.

Presently the BSAMB owns a total of 1324 acres of land in 95 markets of Bihar, out of

which 54 have developed infrastructure on them, and were being used extensively. Out

of these 54 market yards, 40 were developed with IDA assistance, 12 with NABARD

help and one each by BSAMB and others.

20.5 Modern Terminal Markets: Terminal Market Scheme has been introduced in

several states and Union territories. In Bihar, processes leading to establishment of an

MTM near Patna are under progress. It is proposed that besides Patna, MTMs in the State

may be set up at Muzaffarpur, Purnia, Bhagalpur and Gaya Divisions.

20.6 These Terminal Markets will provide mega scale collection and market of

agricultural produce near all the areas of production. These markets will be equipped

with state-of-art facility of international standards to focus on substantial growth in the

production, export and modernization of trade. These markets will be equipped with cool

chain, electronic grading, electronic auction, ripening chambers, colour vision system,

quality station, spot commodity trading, laboratory for testing and certification, banking

support, cash spot payment through ATMs to the growers, information kiosk and one-

stop shopping for inputs, agri-clinic and extension services. The Terminal Markets will

also be supported by Collection Centres and would also have adequate backward and

forward linkages with the producers as well as the consumers.

20.7. Looking at the proposed facilities at other MTM locations and investment

proposed would be around Rs. 100 crore per MTM. This amount would be by way of

private investment (equity or loan) and equity from National Horticultural Mission. If the

entrepreneur requires land from the State government, then the value of land will be

Government of Bihar‘s equity in the project. It is also stiputated that total government

equity in the project will be capped at 49%.

20.8. Agri Business Centres: The focus of the marketing interventions would be the

development of organisational capabilities and infrastructure facilities to raise farm

incomes. To achieve these objectives, ‗Agri Business Centres‘ (ABCs) will be promoted

in important production belts of Bihar which are expected to become central point for

forward and backward linkages in the value chains and will be equipped with

infrastructure according to the requirements of target produce. The ABCs will undertake

various post harvest treatments to enhance shelf life, segregation of various grades,

primary processing, packing and local marketing to get better realisation for the growers.

They will also provide market and weather information and soil testing services. In case

of ABCs proposed to be set up in production belts of the bulk commodities like potato

and onion; cold storage and warehousing will also be created for short and long term

storage to take advantage of price arbitrage by deferring sale from peak harvest to lean

periods.

20.9. With the cost of 1 market yard being developed as ABC is estimated around

Rs.5.7 crores, depending upon the product basket of the region. The cost for 40 ABCs

would be in the range of Rs. 228 crores.

20.10. Rural Hats There are 1500 rural hats in the State of Bihar. A majority of these

hats comprise only strips of land where producers and buyers meet for a few hours on

appointed day and time. The development of rural hats particularly in regard to

availability of market infrastructure facilities is more relevant in case of fruits and

vegetables. The development of market infrastructure facilities particularly in the rural

areas covering rural hats has become the most important area for triggering processes that

would improve farm-business of fruits and vegetables.

20.11 The following five basic minimum physical facilities may be recommended for

development in each rural hat:

Market shed

Storage facilities

Covered auction platform

Open drying platform

Drinking water facilities

20.12 Cost of development of one hat is estimated at Rs. 35 lakhs. For management of

the hat and execution of the project, transfer of these hats to local gram panchayats on

lease basis will be considered. Detailed projects for each hat will be prepared and funds

from all schemes like NREGS, NHM etc will be pooled.

21. Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna- After the 53rd

NDC resolution an additional

central assistance scheme has been launched by government of India since 2007-08. It is

a state plan scheme. The scheme envisages planning from at the district and below levels.

It also proposes to create convergence of the resources and the programmer. RKVY funds

can be utilized for the integrated and holistic development of agriculture. It covers crop,

horticulture, animal husbandry and fishery development. RKVY funds will be

substantially utilized for gap funding. The schemes proposed under the road map

including the above schemes is envisaged to be financed through on going state plan

schemes, additional central plan schemes and also through mission made schemes where

financial resources are routed through non budgetary sources. Gap funding will be

resourced through new state plan schemes. Bedsides for schemes viz. marketing, plant

protections which have private sector participation balance funding will come through

equity/loan. Viability gap funding for projects in PPP made will be from the State Plan.

7.2 ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Animal husbandry is a core sector of the state economy, as it provides

opportunities for poverty alleviation, development of the rural economy, combating rural

unemployment and reducing the gap between the poor, rural and affluent, urban societies.

This sector contributes 16% to the GDP of Bihar but receives only 0.75% allocation of

the total state budget. Around 89% of the population of the state is directly or indirectly

linked with this sector. Apart from rural livelihoods, the health, life-style and safety of

people is linked to this sector through their dependence on milk, meat, egg, wool, leather

and dogs.

2. Goat husbandry is an important way to improve livelihoods for the about 43%

BPL population of the state. There are around 95 lakh goats among the 344 lakh BPL

people, i.e., one goat for every 3.6 persons. With planned development and managed

marketing, around Rs 2,000 can be earned from a single goat in a year. Thus, a single

goat can enhance the annual income of a BPL family by 33.3% with little effort.

According to preliminary estimates, Rs. 10,000 crore is lost annually in the state due to

cattle infertility. Mastitis and FMD add another Rs 10,000 crore to the annual loss of this

sector in the state. With little effort, 25% of these losses can be reduced, with a saving of

Rs. 5,000 crore annually. At present, the state has no scientific method to control and

certify animal protein, but this is essential for the marketing of hygienic and healthy meat

for human health safety. Most of the veterinary institutions, animal husbandry

infrastructure and veterinary human resource development programmes are not

adequately equipped in the state, thus there is an urgent need for their strengthening,

modernization and development.

3. Financial Achievement during 10th Five Year Plan- During 10th Five Year

Plan against revised outlay of Rs. 1249.48 lakh the expenditure incurred was Rs. 1042.66

lakh which is about (83.44 %).

Proposed Strategy for the Eleventh Five Year Plan

Animal husbandry is a core sector of the State economy. It provides opportunities

for poverty alleviation, Development of rural economy, combating rural unemployment

and abridges the increasing gap between poor rural and affluent urban society. The

economy of 89% population of the state is directly or indirectly linked with this sector.

Apart from rural masses, the health, the life-style and the safety too of the affluent people

is linked to this sector through dependence on milk, meat, egg, wool, leather and dogs.

5. The multifaceted scope of animal husbandry activities depend upon animal

protein availability for human consumption, sufficient & sustainable wealth generation

for rural people and creation of self employment opportunity for unemployed youth.

These objectives will be full filled by continuing the ongoing Plan and Non Plan schemes

of the department & by adopting the new ones. Following statistical figure shows the

situation where we are and where ought to be.

8. DOOR STEP VETERINARY SERVICE

8.1 OBJECTIVES

1. To meet the emergency situation of ailing animals at the doorsteps of the owner.

2. To get rid of the problems of bringing the ailing animals to the dispensary.

3. To mitigate the stress of the ailing animals caused due to their movement.

8.2 IMPLEMENTATION

1. It is the demand of the time that the veterinary services should be provided at the

door steps of the animal owners. The national agriculture commission 1976

recommends one veterinary doctor for every 5000 cattle and 2 veterinarians in

each veterinary dispensary / hospital in order to provide door step veterinary

services to the needy cattle owners.

2. The door step veterinary services will be provided by increasing better

infrastructural facilities in terms of number of veterinary doctors and by well

equipping the veterinary dispensary / hospital. For this a motorcycle, Mobile

phone, buildings, instruments, furniture, medicine etc will have to be provided at

each dispensary / hospital.

3. The veterinary officers posted in the dispensary / hospital will attend the OPD on

rotational basis. On call for attending the sick animals that are unable to be

brought to the dispensary one of them will attend such cases on the owners‘

doorsteps. The services will be provided on no cost basis.

4. A vet will have to attend at least 50 cases in a month i.e. 100 calls per hospital per

month. These cases will be in addition to the cases brought to the dispensaries.

5. Vets & Paravets will have to maintain a log book for motorcycles.

6. Persons with primary knowledge of veterinary science preferably with diploma

course will be engaged as paravets on contractual basis.

12. GOAT BREEDING CUM REARING FARM: Goat meat is the most accepted

and major source of meat available for human consumption in Bihar. The per capita

availability of meat in Bihar is 4 times less as per the recommendation made by ICMR.

Goat is the poor man‘s cow and there are tremendous scopes to enhance its production in

Bihar. Unfortunately the state has not any recognized goat farm at present from where the

people can get the seeds of goat. The problem may be solved by establishing a goat

breeding and rearing farm (Black Bengal & Jamnapari) and by distributing the nannies

amongst BPL section of people under certain planned programme. Consequently the goat

keeping is a major and sustainable means of rural economy improvement. For goat

development in the state the Govt. will concentrate mainly on two points:-

(1)Grading-up of local breed with improved germ plasma

(2)Replacing the existing local breed by improved variety of kids produced from the goat

farm.

12.1 PRESENT SCENARIO

1. Demand of goat meat (Chevon) is increasing day by day.

2. This is most popular and accepted form of meat.

3. The goat population of our state as per 2003 livestock census is 96lakhs which

is 8.40 % of national figure.

4. Low variety of goats is reared by the villagers resulting into less production

and low income.

12.2 OBJECTIVES –

1. To establish a source of superior germplasm.

2. To disseminate the same among the interested breeders of BPL section.

3. To involve the female members of BPL society family for economy

generation.

4. To help marginal and landless farmers of rural areas to improve their

economic status by improved goat rearing.

12.3 WORK PLAN:

It will be started initially with 500 goats and 25 bucks in Govt. cattle farm at

Purnea on pilot basis. On seeking expression of interest, it may also be established on

PPP basis.

50% of the kids produced in the farm in 6 months will be sold at

subsidized rate to the people on their demand and on recommendation of

the concerned veterinary officers & Panchayat representative.

The manner of distribution and cost will be determined by a committee

consisting of the farm in-charge, veterinary officer and prakhand pramukh

of that area.

40 % of the kids produced from the farm will be sold in the open market

by the in -charge of the farm.

Rest 10 % of the kids generated will be kept in the farm for increasing

their number.

Five kids will be provided to BPL section of people with a condition that

after two years they will return 5 kids to the farm for distribution among

other BPL families.

In this way more and more families will be covered and gradually the goat

population of quality breed will increase.

12.4 FACILITIES REQUIRED FOR ESTABLISHING THE FARM –

Land – It is available in government farm Purnea.

10 goat sheds of 20‘ x 30‘ area for keeping 50 goats in each will be

constructed.

2 kids sheds for 1-2 months age group with special protection design from

cold and heat waves will be constructed.

One feed godown of 40‘ x 30‘ x 20 will be required to store the feed for

feeding the goats.

Buck shed with partition wall will be constructed to provide shelter for 25

breeding bucks.

One office laboratory of 20‘ x 40‘ for lab and office work.

Green grass will be grown in the premises to provide green grasses to the

goats.

Goats will be sent on pasture for atleast 2-4 hours daily.

13. BUFFALO DEVELOPMENT: To meet the recommendation made by ICMR in

terms of per capita availability of milk, the state needs three times improvement in

present milk production. The aim can be achieved only by implementing the schemes on

cattle and buffalo development programme. A lot has been done and a lot is being done

in cattle sector but not in buffalo sector. Buffalo development programme requires an

extra consideration to meet the situation in the field of milk production.

13.1 PRESENT SCENARIO

Demand of buffalo milk is increasing day by day both in individual and in

commercial sector.

The geographical situation of Bihar permits the buffalo rearing practices.

The total number of buffalo in the state is 58 lakhs out of which the

projected figure of breedable female buffalo is 31.47Lakhs app..

The productivity of buffalo in the state is 3.5 Kg per day on an average.

The target is to bring it at the level of 7 Kg per day in five year span.

13.2 WORK PLAN

By genetic improvement of existing buffalo population using Murrah

germplasm.

By improving feeds and fodder situation in Bihar.

By market channelisation of buffalo milk and its products.

By promoting the people to go for house hold milk processing and their

marketing.

13.3 IMPLEMENTATION

A Murrah buffalo breeding cum bull rearing farm will be established with

a capacity of 45 buffalo cows and 5 buffalo bulls in existing cattle farm at

Dumraon.

In very beginning the buffalo cows will be bred artificially with Murrah

semen procured from outsourcing.

The male calf generated from the farm will be reared to obtain buffalo bull

which will be used for frozen semen production at frozen semen station

Patna.

The female calves may be sold as the situation arises.

The buffalo bull may be distributed in remote areas for natural services on

demand from private agencies / panchayat on agreement basis and

assessing the situation.

The above work plan is in supplementation to BLDA, a government

statutory body dealing with animal breeding programme in the state.

14. PROJECT FOR RURAL POULTRY DEVELOPMENT IN BIHAR

14.1 Introduction: Bihar is among the lowest poultry egg and meat producers in the

country with 10.30 eggs and 2.58 Kg meat from all sources / per capita / per annum. This

is also a highly agonizing situation that 75 % of the total egg / meat production are being

consumed by 25 % of the total urban population of the state. These highly nutritious

foods are available at higher price in rural sector due to absence of proper market and or

alternative organizations for making them available at the reasonable reach and prices.

Under the compelling situation a proposal for improvement in the poultry for egg and

meat production programme in the rural sector is being envisaged with the following

objectives:

To gradually improve the egg available from current 10.30 to 80 per head /

year after 5 years.

To improve poultry meat production from current 76.53 lakh Kg to 91

lakh Kg / per annum.

Improvement and maintenance of dual purpose germplasm resources

suitable for rural development sector to meet the eggs and poultry meat

requirements under backyard / semi or free range system of management.

14.2 Technical programmes/strategy

The important recognized breed cross germ plasm of (A) Vanraja, (B)

Grampriya and (C) CARI black – Nirbhik will be taken up from their

respective sorces, PDP Hydrabad and CARI, Izzatnagar.

A recurrent reciprocal selection system shall be carried out to find out the

best XB to be disseminated in rural Bihar.

These three elite dual purpose breed will be tested for their performance in

the existing Government Poultry Farm of the state.

The germ plasm of reported best suited breed cross will be multiplied with

the level of 2 lakhs / pullet production per annum at each centre.

There shall be six poultry germplasm resource centres located in different

agroclimatic zones of Bihar : Among these six centres Patna, Muzaffarpur,

Bhagalpur will be renovated and updated while new centres like

Gopalganj, Biharsharif and Kishanganj will be new set up with all modern

facilities.

Each germplasm multiplication centre to be set up for selected variety to

raise 2 lakhs chicks from each farm /annum.

Each centre shall be provided with hatchery establishment with hatching

capacity to produce 20,000 chicks per month with cooling period of two

months.

The chicks obtained at item 6 will be reared for 3 weeks in the farm itself

and supplied to the selected farmers @ 10 males and 15 females, i. e. 25

birds per family.

In sum total 8,000 selected farm families will be provided with the

improved birds with understanding that they will provide relevant

information‘s to the centre for their production and productivity.

These birds will be provided for rearing and maintenance to examine the

production level in free range system and also to improve the food and

economic level and therefore no cost will be chargeable for the supply of

25 birds.

The expected chick production from three breeds will be as follows :-

Vanraja - 100 – 110 chicks per year

Grampriya - 140 – 150 Chicks per year.

CARI Nirbhik - 150 – 160 Chicks per year.

Each female on an average shall be able to produce 130 chicks / annum

therefore, 2000 per annum females and 200 cocks will be maintained at each

centre for each pullet year.

15. Strengthening of sub-division level hospital situated in Bihar

The veterinary doctors possessing the basic qualification of B.V.Sc. & A.H. impart their

services from the existing veterinary hospitals and dispensaries in the state. Situation

arises when specific veterinary services are required for specific cases. At present there is

not any provision of specialized veterinary services in any hospital / dispensary. On other

hand a large number of P.G. degree holders‘ veterinary doctors are available in the state.

In addition the veterinary doctors working at block level some-times feel helpless in

seeking an extra veterinary assistance of specific nature. To cope-up-with above situation

it is necessary to strengthen at least the sub-division level hospital by making provision of

clinical subject specialists and also by providing ambulatory clinical facilities to them.

Thus a proposal of strengthening the sub-divisional veterinary hospital proposed with

following objectives is envisaged -

15.1 Objectives:

To provide better veterinary services to ailing animals.

To provide better and specific veterinary services for referred cases.

To provide door step veterinary services by ambulatory van.

15.2 Implementation:

Veterinary doctors with P.G. qualification in Medicine, Gynecology, Surgery and

Livestock Production and Management will be posted in the sub-division level hospitals.

Veterinary hospitals at the sub-divisional level will be constructed. They will have

surgical equipments, Medicines, Test facilities, Mobile vans (fully equipped for better

treatments at door steps in case of emergency).

Para vets (4) and 4th

grade employees will be engaged on contractual basis for assisting

the specialists.

Establishment costs for government doctors, Livestock assistants and peons will be born

from the government establishment where as for those engaged on contractual basis,

payment will be made from the funds given to the Department of Animal Husbandry by

R.K.V.Yscheme.

16. Cattle Insurance Scheme

The state is implementing the National Cattle Insurance Scheme on pilot basis in

5 districtsin Bihar(Patna, Rohtas, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur & Begusarai). The scheme

requires to be expanded for rest 33 districts in State. The guide line of GOI under which

the pilot scheme is going on, will be followed here also. Only the lactating cows &

buffaloes will be covered under this scheme with an annual premium rate of 4.5%. Half

of the premium amount will be borne by the beneficiaries themselves & rest of the

amount will be as an assistance from government sector.

17. Animal Husbandry: Approach to the Eleventh Plan (2007-12)

Animal husbandry and its allied activities, such as poultry farming, fisheries and so on, if

developed appropriately have the potential to revolutionize the rural economy. Even at

the present slow pace of development and underutilization, animal husbandry contributes

16 percent to the SGDP (despite its low share of less than 1 percent of total state

budgetary allocation), a situation which is mirrored in the fisheries and dairy sectors.

Despite this contribution, the state is still not self-sufficient in milk, meat, eggs and fish

production. These sectors have capacity to provide opportunities for livelihood and rural

employment to people at the place where and in the situation they are.

In this context different work plans of 11th five year plan can be seen as under-

o Upgrading veterinary healthcare services by providing more than one veterinary

doctors and more than two para-vets against existing one veterinary doctor &

none para-vets in the veterinary dispensaries. In addition the infrastructural

facilities will also be improved.

o Modernizing and strengthening the Institute of Animal Health and Production,

Patna to improve the quality of bacterial and viral vaccines produced, set up

facilities for producing new vaccines, implement national immunization

programmes and provide comprehensive disease diagnostic, and disease infertility

control programme support.

o Strengthening the newly constituted Bihar Livestock Development Agency.

o Establishment of small Goat breeding –cum- rearing farm.

o Promoting small units in poultry (with 20 birds per family), piggery (8piglets per

family) and dairy (2 cows per family) for rural families below the poverty line.

o Increasing interactions between the Animal Husbandry Department and national

level veterinary research institutions like IVRI, NDRI and other institutions for

research on cattle, buffalo, equines, goat, sheep, wild and zoo animals.

o Building and developing infrastructure for the Animal Husbandry extension

network.

o Setting up systems for monitoring and evaluating animal husbandry programmes.

o Implementing the activities of the Assistance for Control of Animal Diseases

(ACAD) scheme; and the Animal Diseases Monitoring and Surveillance

(ADMAS) scheme as well as zone-wise Surveillance to assess the situation of

animal diseases.

o Promoting the people for Animal Husbandry activities by providing them up

graded Veterinary health services for their animals.

o Genetic improvement of Live Stock through BLDA by better and modernized A I

facilities and conservation of native breed of Live Stock which are on verse of

extinction.

PROPOSED BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SCHEMES DURING 11TH FIVE YEAR

PLAN

18. Direction and Administration: Over the years, the activities of the Animal

Husbandry Department have been increasing. In addition, the general administrative set-

up needs to be reorganised with the creation of new divisions, districts and sub-divisions.

There is, therefore, a need to expand and strengthen the present organisational set-up at

all levels. To make the administration more effective and increase the mobility of

functionaries at different levels, the administrative machinery at the state and field levels

will have to be suitably strengthened.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.73.36 lakh]

Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 10.00 lakh]

19. Veterinary Services and Animal Health: According to the recommendation of

the National Commission on Agriculture, there should be one dispensary for every 5,000

livestock units. A total of 853 veterinary hospitals and dispensaries including 29 mobile

veterinary dispensaries are functioning in the state. In 2007-08, on-going schemes of the

veterinary dispensaries will be continued; and efforts will be made to strengthen the

existing infrastructure. In addition, 1,000 new veterinary dispensaries will be established

during the Eleventh Plan, at the rate of 200 every year.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs65384.875 lakh]

Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 312.00 lakh]

20. Cattle and Buffalo Development: Under this head the Frozen Semen Bank has

to be estimated. In addition the stockman training school Dumraon is to be strengthened.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.457.92 lakh]

Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 0.00 lakh]

21. Administrative Investigation and Statistics: For the continuation of the Animal

Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Darbhanga.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.80.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 12.00 lakh]

22. Poultry Development: The existing three poultry farm will be developed as the

farm of low input varieties birds. This will promote the BPL section people to go for

backyard poultry farming. The poultry farmers will require extensive training on poultry

keeping at inside and outside the state. For the purpose officers and subordinates and the

poultry farmers require an extensive training & refresher courses on subject.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.1384.65 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 5.00 lakh]

23. Sheep & Goat Development: This scheme is to be executed under State Plan.

Although there is tremendous scope of Goat development in state, there does not exist

any recognized goat farm in the state. Whatever goats are reared by the rural people, are

of poor productivity capacity. Therefore the Government Cattle farm, Purnea (Defunct at

present) will be developed as goat rearing-cum-breeding farm. 40% of the kids produced

from the farm will be sold for BPL section from subsidized rate, 50% will be sold in the

open market and rest 10% will be kept in the farm as seed population. In addition to this

rearing activities the buck of improved variety (Yamunapari, Berberi, Beetal) will be

distributed at Panchayat level @ 1 buck of per panchayat. This will be helpful in genetic

upgradation of local low productive goats.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.613.24 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 0.00 lakh]

Other Livestock Development (Centrally Sponsored Scheme)

24. Assistance to State for Control of Animal Diseases

Live stock sector have a very high potential in ensuring accelerated rural

development in general and augmenting the income of individual family in particular.

However, comprehensive health coverage for livestock is sine qua non for achievement

of the above stated two objectives. In keeping with this view, the government of India,

amalgamated different disease control schemes into one scheme i.e. Assistance to States

for Control of Animal Diseases ( ASCAD ). Under this scheme it has been envisioned to

eradicate such diseases in a particular state which affect productivity & production of

livestock and consequently the rural economy. In Bihar H.S., B.Q., Anthrax and F.M.D.

are the main diseases to be targetted and to prevent their prevalence amongst live stock,

different steps are being taken through mass vaccination and other curative measures. Till

today on the basis of experience animals vaccination could be done maximum upto 30%.

During 11th Five Year Plan vaccination to animals target has been fixed to encrease from

present proposal of 80% to 90%. The profile of scheme provides for cost sharing in the

ratio of 75:25 between the Government of India and the Government of Bihar.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.510.94 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 65.00 lakh]

25 Sample Survey for the estimation of Livestock Products .i.e. Milk, Egg, Meat

and Wool: For the formulation of different schems and fixing the financial target of

animal Husbandry it is essential to record and maintain approximate data of livestock

products. For this on the basis of random sampling estimation of livestock products is

obtained through random sampling of villages in different seasons. Final data is prepared

by Government of India on the basis of estimated data. It is Central sponsored scheme on

the basis of 50:50.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.200.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 30.00 lakh]

26. Veterinary Council: This center runs under centrally sponsored scheme (50:50),

where veterinary doctors are registered.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.40.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 5.00 lakh]

27. Fodder Development: Fodder developmental activities are the new entity in the

resvised 11th

Five Year Draft Plan. Under this scheme fodder banks are to be established

at ten places in the state. This will solve the fodder scarcity problem during the scarce

period of natural disaster situation like flood. The fodder bank established in the

Government Cattle Farm, Dumranw will serve the purpose of demonstration for trainees,

farmers of the area. In addition green fodder cultivation will also be initiated in this cattle

farm.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs.262.79 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 0.00 lakh]

28. Cattle Insurance Scheme: To get ride of the sudden economical loss to the

livestock owners from the unhappenings situation of their livestock, the cattle insurance

has been proposed under the 11th

Five Year Plan. Depending upon the road map it is a

new proposal under 11th

Plan. The Government of India has launched the cattle insurance

scheme in five district of state (Patna, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Begusarai & Rohtas)

with a provision of 15% financial help on premium amount. The rest of the premium

amount is to be borne by the beneficiaries themselves. Under this proposal the scheme

will cover the rest of 33 districts of the state.

7.3 DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

The main objectives of Dairy Development Programme in the Eleventh

Plan are to increase milk production by encouraging dairying as a self-supporting and

economically viable activity especially for small and marginal farmers and rural landless

lab Seed Testing Lab ourers and also to make available clean milk and milk products to

people. To achieve these objectives, the production of milk per milch animal will have to

be increased through scientific cross-breeding and upgrading of milch animals, feeding

and health care management. Necessary infrastructure will have to be provided along

with other technical inputs to achieve these goals. Arrangements need to be ensured for

timely collection, processing and marketing of milk through milk producer‘s co-operative

societies and milk unions.

2. Funds earmarked and allocated in Eleventh Plan will be used largely for non-

operation flood areas, for completion of continuing schemes for enhancing milk

production and procurement through dairy cooperative societies. The commitment of the

state government for Operation Flood along with critical gaps therein will also be taken

care of. The target in the Eleventh Plan is to meet the demand of almost all the district-

level towns for milk as well as almost all the villages by organizing dairy cooperative

societies. COMPFED and the Dairy Development Directorate will be key players at the

state level in helping meet these goals.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for Eleventh Plan

3. The total plan allocation for the Tenth Plan was Rs. 5,546.95 lakh; against which

Rs.5,457.47 lakh will have been utilised.

Strategies During 11th Five Year Plan

4. With the bifurcation of Bihar, mineral resources have gone to Jharkhand and so

have gone the limited industrial establishments unified Bihar had. There has been a shift

in the contribution by different sectors to the State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP) –

contribution of industries decreasing from 20 to 12% and that of agriculture sector

increasing from 32 to 39%. In 2003-04, the Agriculture sector contributed around 35% to

the SGDP of Bihar of which the contribution from the livestock sector accounted for

approximately one-quarter. Milk is the most important livestock product at 50 percent of

total livestock output. Milk sector contributed around 70% of the total livestock sector.

5. Bihar‘s livestock wealth is around 5.6 percent of total national livestock

population. In 2005-06, total production of milk was estimated to be 5060 thousand tons,

which amounted to 5.2% of the national milk production and the State ranked tenth in the

country despite the fact that it is endowed with good natural resources like water and very

fertile Gangetic alluvial land, implying low productivity of animals.

6. Per capita availability of milk in Bihar during 2005-06 was 154 gms per day

against a national average of 241 gms per day. The Indian Council of Medical Research

has recommended the minimum requirement of 2201 gms of milk per person per day

indicating a shortage of around 66 gms per capita.

7. Of the total milk production (138.0) lakh Kgs per day as per 2005-06 estimates),

the cooperative sector handled around 8% of the marketable surplus available. Rest of it

was traded mainly by the un-organised sector. But huge potential exists in this sector,

which is yet to be exploited. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of milk

handled by the cooperative sector is around 13%. Therefore till 2012 the target for milk

production has been estimated to be 172 lakh kgs. per day. Central Govt. and NDDB

also envisages that milk production in Bihar by the year 2022 would reach 247 lakh kgs.

per day.

8. Present status of Dairying in the State: Around 6200 dairy cooperative societies

(DCS) covering about 7750 villages (19.5% of inhabited villages in Bihar) have been

formed in twenty-eight districts. Five milk unions established at the district level are

covering twenty-four districts. Compfed is organising the dairy cooperatives in two milk-

sheds directly, viz. Gaya milk-shed, which is covering Gaya & Jehanabad districts, and

Bhagalpur milk-shed that is covering Bhagalpur and some parts of Munger districts.

Besides the Dairy Directorate is doing the dairy development work in Purnia, Araria,

Katihar, Kishanganj, Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Aurangabad, Munger, Nalanda, Chapra,

Siwan, Supaul, Madhepura, Banka, Jamui, Lakhisarai, Nawada, Sheikhpura, Arwal and

Patna districts. Three lakh four thousand milk producer families are associated with the

dairy cooperatives. The percentage of women farmers is approximately 14.7% of total

farmers. Milk Procurement over the years is registering a linear growth. It averaged 6.09

lakh kgs. per day (TKPD) in 2006-07. Average pouring by each farmer is roughly two

kgs. per day. The devastating floods from July to September 2007 have affected the

milksheds and milk production/procurement. The milk procurement, which had reached

6.50 lakh kgs. per day in July 2007, has not been able regain the pre-flood level.

9. Animal Input Programmes: The milk unions and the milk-sheds provide the

milk production enhancement inputs to the milk producers on cost basis, resume of each

of the inputs is given hereunder:

9.1 Breeding Facility: Two thousand seven hundred and one AI centres had been

established covering 4000 DCS. The farmers have to pay a service charge for the facility

at their doorstep.

9.2 Animal Health Care: Under animal health cover, prophylactic inoculations against

diseases like FMD, HS & BQ are done by the Animal & Fish resources Department in

the Animal Health Fortnight and Compfed/milk unions. Presently there are 853

veterinary hospitals. Panchayat level camps are organised for examination of animals and

vaccination thereof. During 2007-08, the Vaccination fortnights have been organised

twice and 66.95 lakh animals were vaccinated till January 2008 which is proposed to be

increased to four times by 2012.Besides this, under the clean milk production

programme, screening of animals against mastitis is done and accordingly treatment is

done.

9.3 Animal Nutrition: Under this programme, farmers are supplied balanced cattle feed

produced at cattle feed plants at Patna, Ranchi and Kanti (Muzaffarpur) – total production

capacity is 260 MTs per day. On an average, 45.0 to 46.0 thousand MTs of feed is

produced every year and 46.0 thousand MTs of feed is supplied to the dairy cooperatives

and balance to the Govt. farms and private dealers. Fodder seeds are provided to the

farmers on cost. Production of fodder seeds has been taken up in three milk unions. To

mitigate the gap between demand and production, the milk unions procure seeds from

unions under National Seed Grid. On an average 300 MTs of seeds are sold to the

farmers. Programme of `treatment of straw with urea‘ is implemented by all the milk

unions. Around 5190 MTs of straw has been treated during 2006-07 and during 2007-08,

quantity of straw treated was 5900 MTs.

9.4 Training: Compfed had established one training centre way back in 1985 under

Operation Flood. The lodging and boarding capacity is ninety participants. Five types of

programmes viz. Secretaries training for society operation (26 days), Orientation of

management committee members (3 days), AI training (40 days), AI & VFA training (10

days)are held on regular basis. So far around 40675 persons have been trained of which

women trainees were 24%. During 2007-08, so far 3000 farmers have been trained.

10. Infra-structure: In Bihar, there are 10 dairy plants having 6.35 lakh litres

processing capacity besides additional chilling capacity of 2.42 lakh litres per day in 8

milk chilling centres and ten bulk coolers. Most of the dairies in Bihar are ISO/HACCP

certified. For conserving additional milk solids there is a powder plant of 10 metric ton

per day capacity at Barauni. Two new powder plants – one at Biharsharif having a

capacity of 30 MT/day and another at Muzaffarpur having a capacity of 10 MT/day are

being established with financial assistance from the State Govt. and Rural Dev. Ministry

respectively. In Patna an icecream plant of 3000 litres per day capacity is also

established.

11. Marketing: Around 5.50 lakh litres milk is marketed by all the dairies in 85 cities

and towns in Bihar and Jharkhand besides in Varanasi and Calcutta through a network of

7200 outlets. Five types of milk in three types of packing (1000 ml, 500 ml and 200 ml

poly pouches having Mnemonic symbol) and twenty-four milk producers including value

added products like ghee, table butter and ice cream are marketed under `Sudha‘ brand.

Due to marketing management by Compfed, the people at Bihar and Jharkhand are

getting the packed milk and quality milk products at reasonable rates.

12. Roadmap - For the economic benefit of the rural farmers of Bihar and keeping in

view the health of consumers and also for different income generation avenues through

animal husbandry and dairy development a road map for 2012 has been prepared, the

execution of which will contribute significantly to the State GDP.

@ As per estimates of GOI and NDDB, the milk production will increase to 247.00 lakh

kgs per day in 2022

* One plant of 100 MTD is established at Ranchi.

** 14 units by State Govt. and Compfed level and 100 units by entrepreneurs.

13. Strategies: The main strategies will be in line with the national plan and based on

the past experience as detailed below :

13.1 Increasing the productivity of milch animals: The productivity of milch animals

is proposed to be increased through:

13.2 Expansion of AI programme

The existing milch animals will be improved genetically so that more milk can be

produced. The programme is presently limited to 4000 dairy cooperatives. Some

NGOs/organisations, namely BAIF, JK Trust, Indiagen besides private agency

and State Govt. are also running around 2701 AI centers which are not included

in the above numbers. The AI facility will be extended to all the villages at the

farmers‘ door-steps .

Infra-structure is proposed to be created for the procurement, storage and

distribution of liquid nitrogen (LN). It is proposed to set up three storage tanks of

3000 litres capacity besides adding one LN tanker of 10,000 L capacity to the

existing fleet of tankers. Thus by 2012, One LN tank will be established in each

of the milk unions at Barauni, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Arrah and Patna.

It is also proposed to establish fifty breeding units by the progressive farmers in

all the milk sheds so as to be self-sufficient in good crossbreds. The AI facility

has been planned to be provided to the farmers at their door-steps.

14. Animal Health Coverage

14.1 Productivity is affected very much due to poor health of milch animals. Animals

need to be protected against several disease of economic importance, viz. Foot & Mouth

Disease (FMD), Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) and Black Quarter (BQ). Till January

2008, around 66.95 lakh animals were vaccinated which is proposed to be increased by

four times till 2012. The Animal Resources Department also has been organising mass

vaccination camps for the last two seasons giving immunity to the milch animals in all

the panchyats.

14.2 Mastitis is another disease of economic importance to the farmers, especially the

owners of crossbreds. Screening and treatment of clinical and sub-clinical cases is

proposed to be continued extensively in DCS besides creating awareness amongst the

farmers about the disease and control thereof.

14.3 With a view to provide the services at the door-steps of the farmers, it is proposed

to start veterinary routes and provide one mobile clinic unit to each milk union/milk shed.

14.4 It is proposed to set up one disease investigation laboratory at each of the milk

union/milk shed where the pathological samples will be tested for better diagnosis and

treatment of animals by Comfed.

15. Animal Nutrition: Potential of the genetically better milch animals cannot be

exploited fully unless they are fed adequately both in terms of quality and quantity.

Feeding of animals is also important because around 70 percent of the cost of production

depends up on the cost of feeding. Both the balanced cattle feed and green fodder have

equally significant role in the animal nutrition.

15.1 Cattle Feed: Cattle feed requirement of dairy cooperatives is expected to be 109.5

thousand MTs annually based on the projected milk procurement of 12.0 lakh kgs. per

day. This will necessitate increasing the production capacity of cattle feed plants by

around 100 MTs per day. Existing installed capacities of three plants is 260 MTs per

day.It is therefore, proposed to expand the capacity of Patna plant from 100 to 150 MTs

per day, Proposed to expand the capacity of Muz S affarpur plant and establish new cattle

feed plants of 100 MTs at Vaishali & Barauni and 50 MTs at Samastipur & Munger.

15.2 Fodder:

Feeding of green fodder helps not only in reducing the intake of

concentrates and in turn the cost of production but also in meeting the

requirement of feed in terms of providing desired nutrients and quantity.

Presently, cultivation of fodders exclusively for feeding the animals is not

very much popular with the farmers mainly due to pressure on land for

growing grains for human consumption. Availability of good fodder seeds

is also another reason for slow progress in this area. Dairy cooperatives

have been able to generate a demand of around 300 MTs of seeds

annually. By 2012, it is proposed to double the sale of fodder seeds to the

farmers.

Presently there is no fodder seeds processing unit in the cooperative sector

and they have to depend up on the facilities in the private sector. It is

proposed to establish a fodder seeds processing unit at Samastipur.

Dry fodder fed to the animals is nutritionally poor. Treatment of straw

with urea (ammonification) helps in improving its nutritive value. The

technology also helps in reducing the cost of production of milk. Farmers

in the dairy cooperatives have started adopting the technology and

presently around 6000 MTs of straw is treated with urea. The quantity of

treated straw is proposed to be doubled till the end of Plan period.

During floods and drought, availability of green/dry fodder gets reduced

and it becomes scarce, which leads to malnutrition. This affects the

productivity of animals significantly. Hence, it has been proposed to

establish 14 fodder brick making units for densification of dry fodder

when it is available. Out of this 6 units will be established by Compfed at

milk union level and eight units will be established by Animal Husbandry

Department. In lean season, green fodder will be preserved as silage.

Establishment of 4000 fodder demonstration units of 0.25 acre each at the

farmers‘ field jointly by the Dairy Directorate and Compfed.

16. Manpower development: To improve the productivity of milch cattle the key

areas and subjects identified for professional and modern training are – better upkeep and

management of animals, breed management, green fodder production, improving the

nutritive value of dry fodder, artificial insemination and first aid etc. Training institutes at

NDDB Siliguri, NDRI Karnal and Compfed Training Centre have been identified for

imparting training to farmers from Bihar.The dairy cooperatives at the village as well as

at the union level are being managed by the milk producers themselves. Similarly, the

input services are being provided by the local youths in the villages. Day to day operation

of a DCS is done by the secretary who is also picked up from the village itself where a

DCS has been formed. Skill up-gradation of farmers and staff of the DCS is done at the

training centre at Compfed, Patna. The training centre at Patna has lodging and boarding

facilities for ninety participants at a time. It is proposed to make it a state level training

institute to cater to the training needs of milk unions/DRDAs. It is proposed to enhance

the capacity of this centre to 200 participants. In addition to it capacity of training centre

at Barauni will be enhanced from 20-50.

16.1 The training programmes organized in Compfed training centre are – DCS

management (26 days), Management Committee Orientation (3 days), AI (40 days) and

Animal Management. Till date 40675 farmers have been trained. In 2007-08 alone 3000

farmers have been imparted training and by the year 2012 at least 80866 additional milk

producing farmers would be targeted for training.

17. Creation/strengthening the infra-structure required for milk processing: By

2012 it has been envisioned to procure on an average 12.00 lakh kgs of milk every day

which would mean a peak procurement of around 16.75 lakh kgs. Hence, the processing

capacities will have to be created to handle 16.35 lakh litres of milk. Actions have

already been initiated to double the existing capacities in coming two years from 6.35

lakh litres/day to 12.95 lakh litres/day. Details are tabulated hereunder.

Legend: LLPD – lakh litres per day; NCDC – National Coop. Development Corporation

17.1 Proposal for the expansion of Barauni dairy from 1.60 lakh litres per day to 3.0

lakh litres per day is being revised for seeking financial assistance from Rashtriya Krishi

Vikas Yojana /NCDC which would increase the capacity to16.35 lakh liters/day.

Balance 2.15 lakh litres capacity will be required additionally to process all the milk

expected to be procured in 2012. Hence, one new dairy plant of 2.0 lakh litres per day

capacity is proposed to be established at Mohania thus increasing the total capacity to

16.35 lakh litres per day. In addition to it a new Dairy plant of 1.0 lakh ltr per day

capacity will be established at Dehri-on-sone.

17.2 For value addition, it is proposed to expand/strengthen/mechanize the production

capacity of fresh milk products facilities. Further, with a view to enlarge the product mix,

it has been targeted to establish a cheese plant of 1.0 MT per day capacity at an estimated

cost of Rs. 2.471 crores at Dehri-on-sone. The plant will be mainly producing Mozzarella

cheese from buffalo milk and the processed cheese. With the consumers becoming more

and more cautious about the quality of product they are consuming, it is inevitable to

produce the products which not only meet the national and international quality standards

but are safe also to consume. Training and allowances will be given to milk producers. It

has been proposed to establish 242 bulk coolers at strategic locations, thereby reducing

the sourage of milk. All the bulk coolers will be able to handle about 20 percent of milk

procured by the dairy cooperatives in 2012.For continual improvement in the quality of

products in terms of their shelf-life, attractive and suitable packaging, developing new

products, research and development (R & D) activity is proposed to be taken up.

17.3 The existing dairy and chilling plants are very old and require refurbishing so as to

meet the M&MPO and ISO/HACCP requirement. It is proposed to renovate these plants

suitably.

18. Expansion of geographical area of dairy cooperatives- In order to achieve the

projected milk procurement by the dairy cooperatives, it is inevitable to expand the dairy

cooperative net-work in the existing blocks/milk routes and also in other blocks. It is

proposed to establish 5600 new dairy cooperatives thereby increasing the number of dairy

cooperatives from 6200 to 11800.

18.1 Necessary milk testing equipments, electronic milkotester for more transparency

in the operations, SS milk cans are proposed to be provided to all the DCS. It is also

proposed to establish automatic milk collection units at 695 DCS in all the milksheds

which are pouring more than 500 kgs. of milk everyday. Electronic milkotesters will be

provided in 20% of the DCS which are having more than sixty members.

19. Forward linkage/market development- It is proposed to increase the number

of market out-lets from 7150 to 12225 by 2012, so that marketing would reach upto9.00

lakh liter per day.

The number of whole day booths is proposed to be increased from 500 to 902 with

required facilities for cold chain. It is also proposed to provide cold chain facilities,

e.g. visicoolers/deep freezes to the existing whole-day booths/retailers.By 2012, it is

proposed to add fifteen more cities/towns to cover one hundred cities/towns. Emphasis in

liquid milk marketing will be on the rural markets.

20. Schemes of Dairy Directorate: Compfed is operating in 28 districts of Bihar while

in the remaining 10 districts, namely Chapra, Siwan, Supaul, Madhepura, Banka, Jamui,

Lakhisarai, Nawada, Sheikhpura, Arwal, the dairy development work is being carried out

by the Dairy Directorate. In some of the districts like Purnia, Araria, Katihar, Kishanganj,

Gopalganj, Sitamarhi, Aurangabad, Munger, Nalanda and Patna both the Dairy

Directorate and Compfed are operating jointly. The following schemes are being

implemented by the Dairy Directorate:

20.1 Mini Dairy Scheme: Under this scheme financial assistance is provided to the

progressive farmers, educated unemployed youth, small and marginal farmers with a

view to create self employment and income generation avenues for them. Five cross bred

cow are provided under this scheme. The cost of setting up of a mini-dairy is

approximately Rs.1, 00,950.00 out of which Rs. 80,000.00 are provided as bank loan and

remaining Rs. 20,950.00 as grant. This scheme is benefiting the farmers to increase

cross-bred animal population and also the milk production leading to their economic

prosperity.

20.2 Dairy Science Training Scheme: Keeping in view the less productivity in milch

animals and with a view to provide the farmers (milk producers) with exposure of the

best practices followed in dairying and animal Husbandry, the farmers are trained outside

the state at NDDB Siliguri, NDRI Karnal and within the state at Compfed‘s training

centre. Subjects like on dairy animal management, fodder cultivation, improving the

nutrition value of dry fodder with urea, artificial insemination, first aid. The training

programme helps the farmers to learn and adopt the latest techniques of animal

husbandry and dairying.

20.3 Green Fodder Demonstration Scheme: Demonstration on the farmers plots of

cultivating green fodder are carried out in Rabi and Kharif seasons. This programme

helps the farmers to cultivate the ideal fodder crops which help them directly to increase

milk production and reduce the cost of milk production. Certified seeds are provided to

the beneficiaries mostly of dairy cooperative societies to demonstrate green fodder at the

farms (plots of farmers). In winter, Barseen and Oat seeds are provided to the farmers,

while in summer, Sorghum and Maize seeds are provided. For green fodder

demonstration, the farmers are provided Rs. 1600.00 per plot as grant.

20.4 Scheme of Model Dairy Gram: Under this scheme group of five villages are

selected to form a gram. It is targeted to be developed into an ideal dairy village with

community building, artificial insemination- cum- first aid centre, equipped with milk

testing equipments and a 1000 litres capacity bulk cooler to chill the milk procured from

the model gram. The present estimated cost to set up such a model dairy gram is about

Rs. eighteen lakhs.

20.5 Scheme to construct milk collection centre and provide electronic milko-tester

at dairy co-operative society level: Under this scheme such societies are selected where

200 litres of milk is collected every day and the society is registered. The milk collection

centre is constructed where the society has available land. The society is provided with

electronic milko-tester. For setting up such a unit, the estimated cost is Rs. four lakhs.

20.6 Scheme to set up Cattle Breeding Centre: Keeping in view the scarcity of cross-

bred milch animals in the State, it is proposed to set up cattle breeding farms for the rural

unemployed and progressive farmers. For setting up a cattle breeding centre, the

estimated cost is Rs. four lakhs. The beneficiary has to provide 10% of the amount

initially as seed money. Of the balance amount, 80% of the cost is financed by the banks

as loan and the remaining 20% is provided as grant the State Govt.

20.7 Scheme for Clean Milk Production: The main objective of the scheme is to

bring about qualitative improvement in the quality of milk at milk producers‘ level.

Training is provided to the milk producers to make use of stainless steel pails, strainers,

stainless steel cans and use of sanitizers for clean milk production. The scheme is

implemented at dairy cooperatives level.

21 Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana: This scheme is being implemented from the

current financial year under the State Plan. Under the scheme all the districts of the State

are being covered. The implementation of the scheme is being done jointly by Compfed

and the Dairy Directorate in the pre-decided areas. During the year 2007-08, following

schemes viz. organisation of self help group/ dairy cooperative societies, providing of AI

facilities, training, establishment of fodder block making units, establishment of

automatic milk collection centers, expansion of capacities of existing plant are being

implemented.

22. Fund Requirement and source of funding: Fund requirement for all the above

mentioned activities to be undertaken by Compfed and the State Dairy Directorate at the

existing rates has been estimated to be Rs. 471.78 crores to complete all the above listed

schemes up to 2012. Scheme-wise break-up of estimated cost is given here under:

7.4 FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE

Bihar is well-endowed in water resources in the form of ponds and

tanks (covering over 65,000 ha approximately) and major rivers (around

2,700 km) such as the Ganges, Kosi, Sone, Gandak, Punpun, Burhi Gandak,

Kareh and Bagmati which are treasure houses for pisciculture. Apart from

these two types of water resources, North Bihar also has the advantage of

capture fisheries resources like chaurs and ox-bow lakes. It is the crying

need of the state economy to convert these resources and other flood plains

from capture fisheries to culture fisheries resources.

2. Bihar requires nearly 4.5 lakh tones of fish annually for

its domestic needs, while annual production is about 2.25-2.50 lakh tones

only. Although 75 percent of the ponds and tanks have gone through the

process of ageing and siltation. Nearly 2,600 ha of water area have been

renovated under the FFDA programme. The average production of

developed ponds has gone up to 3175 kg/ha/year with the adoption of

technically sound pisciculture practices and stocking of quality fish seeds

while undeveloped ponds yield only 800-1000 kg/ha/yr. This certainly

reflects the effects of scientific management of pisciculture activity in

developed ponds. The major issues related to fisheries and aquaculture

sector in Bihar are habitat degradation in natural ecosystems like rivers and

lakes, loss of breeding grounds, heavy siltation of ponds and tanks followed

by greater colonization of macrophytes leading to attaining a derelict-state

and resultant decline in production, inadequate and poor quality of fish seed,

lack of awareness, means, mechanism and technical know-how among the

target groups and stake holders for optimal utilization of open water fisheries

resources, etc. Bihar is in need of revenue, and a self-supporting programme

like pisciculture could contribute substantially to the state exchequer besides

generating employment and providing cheap and nutritious protein to the

local population.

Review of the Tenth Plan Programmes and Targets for 11th Plan.

3. The Tenth Plan had a projected outlay of Rs 1025.57 lakh for the fisheries sector,

of which expenditure so far has been only Rs. 658.92 lakh (64.24%).

4. State is endowed with vast potential of fisheries water resources. It includes

69000 ha ponds and tanks, 9000 ha oxbow lakes, 7200 ha reservoirs, 3200 km rivers and

about 1,00,000 ha of riverine and other flood plains wetlands. The average annual

production of fish is nearly 2.60 lakh tonnes against the annual demand of 4.56 lakh

tonnes. Thus it seems necessary to double the production to bridge the vast gap between

demand and supply. For this it is essetnial to make a specific work plan and road map.

Aquaculture and culture based fisheries are the options for enhancing the productivity of

more amenable waters such as ponds and the oxbow lakes (mauns) with immediate

results. Overall the proposed road map aims at implementing the following main

activities:-

conservation of water bodies like ponds and tanks

intensive and semi intensive fish culture in ponds

construction of inlet and oultet for easier passage in mauns for culture

based fisheries

culture up to an optimum size

raising annual production of fry up to 65 crores from the present level of

35 crores

developing the market system to support farmers for different price

5. Specific stress has been given in this road map on developing culture based

fisheries in mauns and bringing ponds into intensive and semi intensive culture to attain

the desired level of 4.56 lakh tonnes of annual fish production. Apart from these other

supporting schemes would also continue. Brief descriptions of schemes are as follows:-

6. Short Description of different schemes is as under below-

6.1 Arrangement of fingerlings as seeds:-For developing oxbow lakes into culture

based fisheries and bringing ponds into intensive/semi intensive culture, the annual

requirement of fingerlings would be around 80 crores. Apart from this, other water bodies

would also demand seed. Species wise requirement of fingerlings may be summarized as

depicted in the following table:-

6.2 As indicated above, in order to meet the fry requirements for aquaculture in ponds

and mauns, about 100 seed production units, including a hatchery, are required to be

setup in different parts of state. These centers would either produces spawn for their

spawn from other nearly hatcheries. To support fish seed production “Brood Banks”

would be established in adequate numbers be facilitated. Portable hatcheries would be

assisted by brood banks as and when there is demand of brooders.

6.3 Fish seed farms would be developed as fry and fingerling production centres. The

state would require nearly 664 ha to 750 of nursery area to cater fry and fingerling

motivated to stock fingerlings and the present practice of stocking spawn directly into

waterbodies would be discouraged. A buy-back system of fingerlings has been framed

and it would be implemented as a separate scheme.

6.4 Schemes:-

Fish seed growers and ponds would be marked for 40 crores of

fingerlings production. Nearly 664 ha nursery area would also be

selected.

seed rearing units would be having nursery area of 0.2 ha (this is for

calculating the number of units only)

every seed rearing unit would be given Rs. 12000 as loan for raising 45

days fingerlings from spawn

every seed raising unit (0.2 ha) would produce 1.20 lakh fingerlings

these fingerlinds be bought back by farmers under a special scheme

seed growers would return their loan either support in running this scheme

or they may directly run this scheme

FFDAs will help the seed growers in selling their fingerlings

all the seed growers would be pre-identified by the Department

7. Intensive/semi intensive fish culture in ponds:

As per the present estimates 69000 ha water area is available as ponds and tanks.

The main chunk of fish production in the state is from these water bodies only. Though

these water bodies have grown old and there is depostion in silt in their beds in most of

the tanks. Renovation of Govt. ponds is being done in National Rural Employment

Guaranttee Scheme and people in private sector are interested in creating new water

bodies as well as renovating the old ones. The present achieved mean fish productivity in

developed ponds in the state is about 2.2 tonnes/ha/yr. Addressing 50,000 ha of ponds

area for development in a mission mode, it is proposed to enhance the productivity to 3

tonnes/ha/yr in 30,000 ha and 5 tonnes/ha/yr in 20,000 ha area. Carps being the mainstay

of pond culture, Indian major carps are suggested to be employed, along with chines

carps where ever required also considering the prevailing market rates.

7.1 Ponds in the State have been divided into three categories namely, A, B and C

depending upon the productivity. Ponds owners/lessee would be provide fingerlings in

adequate numbers to stock their ponds. In first two years it would be the responsibility of

the lessees/societies to raise the production level upto 3 tonnes/ha/yr. The cost of the

fingerlings given to a beneficiary would be taken that next year before issuing the

Parwana for fishing. In case of private farmers there would be a different method of

collecting the cost of fingerlings given to them.

7.2 Transfer of money:

farmer would be given required no. of fingerlings @ 5000 fingerlings per ha

the cost on seeds (@ 50 paise per fingerling) would be given to him as loan, by

cheque

the cheque will be in favour of the seed grower and the District Fisheries Officer

as Escrow Account Payee from where the farmer will collect seeds

the settlee of a pond after receiving the number of fingerlings required will hand

over the cheque to the fish seed grower

fish seed grower will hand over the receipt of that very cheque to the

farmer/settlee which has receive the fingerlings from him

this receipt would be submitted to the Office of The District Fisheries Officer

8. Culture bases fisheries in oxbow lakes:

Mauns or oxbow lakes are cut off portions of meandering rivers. They are one of

the important resources of aquaculture. They are very productive and their annual fish

production potential ranges between 1500-2000 kg/ha as estimated by ICAR institute.

Their number in the state is nearly 100 and presently mauns are mostly being utilized for

capture fisheries. Present level of production is 60-70 kg/ha/yr. Some of the lakes which

have been developed are giving production upto 400-500 kg/ha/yr. This depicts that

oxbow lakes can give production many folds if they are utilized in culture pattern. It is

proposed to bring 5000 ha of mauns in culture based fisheries.

8.1 The real market value of 50,000 fingerlings will not less than Rs 50,000.Thus

applying pen culture in oxbow lakes the requirement can be achieved and will get

addition income. Generally in oxbow lakes of one hundred hectare, four pen culture can

be constructed and requirement of its finger links can be fulfilled and its second

beneficiary part is average life of a pen culture is about three years. The production cost

in second and third year will be less and increase in income will be guaranteed.

9. Development of fisheries water logged area: Mostly water logged areas suitable for

fish culture are in private sector. Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and

Fisheries (GOI) has a Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Fisheries Development in water

logged areas. It is a bankable or self financing scheme providing subsidy @ 20% of the

unit cost. The unit cost for developing one ha water logged area is Rs. 1.25 lakh along

with an additional support as inputs at the rate of Rs. 75000 per hectare. It is also

supported by 20% subsidy. The subsidy upon both activities would be shared by the State

Government and GOI on 25:75 basis.

and infrastructure for safe, fast and hygenic transport, developing cold chains to reach

fish to different parts of State and beyond. Common collection centres, small four

wheelers, pickup vans and insulated rickshaw are proposed in this scheme along with ice

plants at some places.

17.9.1 Source of funding: Centrally sponsored scheme on Development of Infrastructure

Post Harvest Marketing. As per norms fisheries co-operative societies/NGOs would get

75% assistance form GOI and the rest 25% would be provided by the State Govt. as a

special package. Federations would get 100% assistance from GOI.

in 10 districts. Para Extension Workers are selected, given training and are supposed to

work with farmers and their consultants. Initially they are paid Rs. 2000 per month for

three months to prepare a working field for them. They undergo an agreement with

farmers for their consultancy services. This scheme is being expanded to all the districts.

There would be 1000 Para Extension Workers in the State and the estimated annual

expenditure would be around Rs. 85.00 lakh. Out of this Rs. 25.00 lakh would be spent

upon training only. Para Extension Workers would be given aquaculture testing

equipments also. Para Extension Workers would get due shrare in the additional

production of the crop.

effective planning. Work on preparing a strong database for effective planning in

Fisheries Sector. A scheme for survey of ponds (both Govt. and Private Sector) in ten

selected districts is operational. It would be expanded to all the districts and the estimated

cost is Rs. 41.00 lakhs. Survey would be done by specially trained individuals. Areas

where numbers of tanks are in lesser number, surveyors would get one hundred Rupees

for survey of a pond.

15. Extension Schemes: Extension schemes in Fisheries Sector need the strongest

financial support as they have not been receiving due budgetary support. Fisheries offices

in fields are up to district headquarters only. So it has been decided to strengthen

extension system. National and State level workshop/seminars would be arranged for

effective communication and sharing views with stake holders. The overall expected

expenditure in four years is Rs. 75.00 lakh.

16 Establishment of an Aquarium House at Patna:

Many species of ornamental fishes are found in ox-bow lakes and chours of the

state. They have a good commercial value. Fishermen are unknowingly kill these

precious fishes or they are not getting their due price. An institute is badly needed to

promote their culture and breeding. It has been decided to establish an aquarium house-

cum-research centre at Patna. Bihar flood support many species of ornamental fishes

but their commercial marketing has not been established yet.

Thus to promote ornamental fisheries in the state and awareness among people

this aquarium complex has been decided. This would be constructed in the district

fisheries office, at vidyapati marg Patna and the estimated cost is Rs. five crores. Year-

wise Financial Estimates are as follows

17. Group Accident Insurance Security to Active Fishermen:

Insurance security will be given to active fisherman in accident/sudden death. In

this centrally sponsored scheme the premium/ person is Rs. 14 and its expense is

borned by central Government. Fishermen work in some of the most hazardous area

prone to accidents. Presently the State Govt. provides insurance coverage to 50,000

active fishermen under National Scheme for Welfare of Fishermen. It is proposed to

provide insurance coverage to more active fishermen. Apart from this active fishermen

would be provided coverage under Janshree Bima Yojna. Under this scheme Rs.

50.00 per person would be provided to the insurance company and Rs. 50.00 would be

given by the beneficiaries himself. The rest Rs. 100.00 would be provided by the Social

Security Fund. Twenty thousand fishermen are being targeted to be insured during

2008-09.

19. Fisheries Research Scheme:-There is Solitary Operational Research Centre at

Patna. Techniques which would be beneficial to farmers are experimentally adopted here

in local conditions. Apart from this soil, water testing & disease diagnosis are other

facilities available with this centre.

20. Demonstration of Integrated Fish Farming:- The main theme of this farming

system is to reduce cost on feed in commodities integrate one or more than one

commodities with aquaculture. These commodities may be poultry, cattle, horticulture or

duckery etc. Under a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Ministry of Agriculture revision

for Bank Loan and subsidy is available. In general there is very slow pace of loan

forwarding in this scheme by the commercial banks. Therefore, to begin with as

demonstration project this program is being proposed under RKVY. Hence, the program

is to be funded entirely by the Govt. under RKVY. Under this scheme there would be

demonstration Centers in each district, covering water area nearly one hectare.

21. Training Centre at Patna:

To make technology available at farms and ponds training is the best tool.

Fisheries Department has no State level training centre. Directorate of Fisheries is totally

dependent upon ICAR institutes where intake capacity is very limited. A training centre

at Patna is proposed under this program. Infrastructure development and creation of posts

will be done in this program. The detail expenditures are shown in the combined table.

National Fisheries Development Board is also supporting training programs and with

establishment of this training centre expenditure on TA/DA of farmers for outside the

State training will be saved.

22. Strengthening of FFDAs:

There are 33 FFDAs operational in the State and it is proposed to make

operational in rest five districts. Presently their financial activity is very limited and they

are not working as independent organistaion. To make them effective and for

operationally strengthening them it is proposed to provide them a working capital of Rs.

10.00 lakhs. This will provide speedy implementation of developmental schemes. With

this FFDAs will manage their own business. This fund would be used as a revolving

fund.

23. Crop Insurance Scheme:

It is being proposed to bring fish crop in a pond under insurance coverage. With

this farmers will get insurance benefit in case of their crop damage by natural calamity or

damage by miscreants. The premium for the crop insurance may be shared by

beneficiaries and the State Govt. A detail scheme is under consideration for the same.

The present calculation is based upon a scheme by the Oriental Insurance Company in

which cost of fish (per hectare production) has been kept at Rs. 40,000. Half of the

premium would be borne by the farmer or the settlee of the pond.

24. Renovation of Ponds:

Conservation of available water resources is essential for continuous growth in

production of fisheries. Fisheries ponds in the State are very old. Due to frequent floods

along with natural weathering and erosion they have lost their optimum carrying

capacity. Though efforts are being made through schemes like RSVY and National

Rojgar Guarantee Yojna, a targeted approach is necessary. Similarly subsidy based

Centrally Sponsored Scheme for renovation/construction of new ponds needs the

similar approach.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SCHEMES

26. Production and Supply of Quality Fish Seeds: Quality fish-seeds are the most

essential components of pisciculture. This scheme covers the production and supply of

quality fish-seeds through extension and up-gradation of existing seed farms, and the

repair and construction of fish-seed hatcheries. The main constraint in the meeting the

annual demand for quality fish seeds has been under-production by existing fish farms,

whose productivity has fallen as a result of age and poor management. Besides, the

production in hatcheries under the control of Bihar Fish Development Corporation is not

optimal. For these reasons, it is proposed to construct one hatchery in the state sector

with a capacity of 75 million hatchlings per year. Provisions are also being made to

restore, renovate, and re-organise 20 fish-seed farms in the government sector. These

fish-seed farms along with other smaller seed farms will be utilised to raise 40 million

seeds (fry) in different districts of the state. It is proposed to raise the level of production

from the current 450 million seeds to 664million at the end of the plan period.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 3586.50 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 60.00 lakh]

27. Maun and Chaur Development Scheme: Ox-bow lakes and chaurs (water-

logged areas) are prime fishery resources of the state, supporting a sizeable number of

fish farmers, apart from other utility functions. The lakes, however, have been subjected

to a number of stress factors leading to decline in fish production. The poor fish farmers

have no resources to invest in the new technologies. Pen culture is a new tool to

maximise the output from open water bodies like the mauns and chaurs. These lakes have

a very high productivity potential of more than 1,000 kg per hectare annually. They also

support a high bio-diversity of fish fauna and some of them are also repositories of fresh

water ornamental fish.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 2003.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 60.00 lakh]

28. Fisheries Research Scheme: Fish culture is a rapidly changing field, with new

technologies emerging and being implemented in field. The Fisheries Research Centre,

on Mithapur Agriculture Farm is the only aquaculture research centre in the state. It

handles everyday problems of pisciculturists, and solves them by testing the soil and

water of their ponds. Besides, new aquaculture technologies are adopted here and their

suitability to local agro-climatic conditions analysed. Rs. 52.50 lakh has been proposed to

be spent during the Eleventh Plan and Rs. 12.00 lakh during the Annual Plan 2007-08.

Under this scheme programmes such as ornamental fish culture and breeding and air

breathing fish culture and breeding are taken up, in addition to the demonstration of fresh

water giant prawn culture and maintenance of pond parameters. Extension materials such

as audio-visuals, new equipment for field sampling, books and periodicals will also be

purchased, which will add to capital formation.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 52.50 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 12.00 lakh]

29. Strengthening of the Fisheries Organisation: Research and training are

important aspects of any technical department, but the Directorate of Fisheries has no unit

for training its officers and staff. The state-level staff training centre at Patna was

dissolved some years ago, and the Directorate is dependent on the ICARs for its training

needs. While their training is of a high standard, trainees need to travel out of the state,

which is expensive. The proposal is to establish a state-level training centre at Patna in

the departmental buildings with necessary modifications. A post of Executive Engineer

has been created, to help in the speedy development of departmental works. The

proposed allocation for the financial year 2007-08 is Rs. 25.00 lakh.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 2635.92 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 30.00 lakh]

30. Fisheries Extension Scheme: This is a state sector scheme for extension training

to departmental officers and staff. The state government has also decided to impart out-

of-state training to 1,000 farmers, mainly at the Kakinada centre of CIFE (in Andhra

Pradesh). The Department will bear the cost of training of these farmers.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 2110.40 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 60.00 lakh]

31. Assistance to SC Pisciculturists: Assistance to pisciculturists will be given in the

special component plan, in the form of boats and nets, and to renovate their ponds and

promote fish culture among them.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 50.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 13.00 lakh]

32. Fish Marketing Scheme: Fish markets will be developed during the Eleventh

Plan so that fish farmers could get right amount of its productions. 25% State share

special assistance is proposed to develop infrastructure of Centre Sponsored Scheme of

fisheries marketing after cultivation. Rest money will be provided by Central

Government.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 1456.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 0.00 lakh]

33. Fish Farmers Development Agency (FFDA): There are 33 FFDAs functioning

in Bihar. The main functions being undertaken under this centrally sponsored scheme are

the construction of new ponds, renovation of old derelict ponds, training of farmers,

supply of essential inputs and extension support. Establishment costs are borne fully by

the state government, and the central government bears 75% of the subsidies for

developmental work. An essential feature of this programme is loan assistance from

banks coupled with subsidies, shared by the central and state governments on 75:25

basis. Thus, banks are vital for the success of the programme. The main activities under

this scheme is providing 10-days training to fish farmers, and providing subsidies for the

construction and renovation of ponds, and for the construction of carp hatcheries and

development of water-logged areas into aquaculture-estates. The central government

provides a matching share for all these activities.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 384.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 45.00 lakh]

34. Group Accident Insurance Scheme: This welfare scheme targets active

fishermen who are members of fisheries co-operative societies, and under this, fishermen

are insured for Rs. 50,000 against death or permanent disability and Rs.25,000 for partial

disability. It is a centrally sponsored scheme in which the centre and state governments

equally share the cost of the insurance premia.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 105.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 4.00 lakh]

35. Housing for Fishermen: Under this scheme the government provides houses at a

unit cost of Rs. 40,000, and a community hall for recreation and as a common working

place to fishing villages which have at least 75 houses. The estimated total cost of the

community hall is Rs. 1.75 lakh. Under this centrally sponsored scheme the central

government provides half the funds.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 467.91 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 116.00 lakh]

36. State Share to NFDB Projects: National Fisheries Development Board has been

established to provide assistance for fisheries development in states. In some of its

schemes it requires state share upto 10 %.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12):Rs. 25.00 lakh]

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

Expanding production and increasing productivity to national levels through

the development of ponds and adoption of technically sound pisciculture

practices.

Establishing hygienic storage conditions, rapid transportation systems and an

efficient marketing network for fish to increase socio-economic security in

fishing communities.

For fish production to reach self-sufficient levels, annual production levels will

be raised form the current 2.8 lakh tons to about 6 lakh tons.

Bringing open water areas like ox-bow lakes, chaurs and command area flood

plains under culture-based fisheries.

Gradual and scientific conversion of capture fisheries resources into culture

fisheries resources.

7.4 SUGARCANE DEVELOPMENT

During the Tenth Plan period, attention has been given for the betterment of agro-

based industries, and, thereby creation of more employment opportunities, particularly in

the rural areas with a view to eradicate poverty. However the growth rate has remained

lethargic in this sector. Production and productivity of sugarcane in Bihar is low as

compared to the national average. Therefore a second green revolution is urgently needed

in general, and in the sugarcane particular to raise the growth rate of agricultural GDP to

around 4%. The challenge posed is to at least double the rate of agricultural growth. Our

National Policy envisages not only an increase in the production of sugar for our growing

population, but also for export to the international market to augment foreign exchange

earnings.

2. The main objective of the Department during the Eleventh Plan period is to create

a suitable climate for the establishment, growth and expansion of the sugar industry in

Bihar. For this macro level planning will be needed to raise the productivities and the

quality of sugarcane; along with the development of basic infrastructure related to

irrigation, drainage, rural link road, transport, power to raise the sugar recovery level to

the desirable level of 10 %.

Review of the Tenth Plan And Targets for the Eleventh Plan

3. In the Tenth Plan, the revised outlay for the Sugarcane Department was Rs

1,267.85 lakh against which financial achievement has been Rs 1,083.54 lakh(85.46%).

Achieving the objectives listed above will require a multi-pronged strategy along the

following lines:

4. At present, nine sugar mills are functioning in the state, and the state

government is processing 19 proposals for setting up new sugar complexes, of which it

has approved 13. By 2010, ten mega-sugar complexes with crushing capacity of 25,000

TCD will be set up. The government is also exploring avenues to rejuvenate the 15 closed

sugar mills and two distilleries under the Bihar State Sugar Corporation, through

privatization, to expand the crushing capacity of operational sugar mills.

5. This will increase the demand for sugarcane tremendously, and it is proposed to

increase the area under sugarcane from 2.30 lakh ha to at least 5.45 lakh ha. in the

coming five years starting from 2007-08. When all the ten new sugar complexes start

functioning, the demand or sugar cane will be at least 164.75 lakh MT. To ensure

adequate supply of sugarcane to the sugar factories, gur and khandsari industries, and to

achieve the desired level of sugar production, the area under sugarcane must increase

proportionately. Hence the overriding emphasis of the Plan would be to proportionately

increase area under sugarcane cultivation, as well as to increase the productivity of

sugarcane and recovery of sugar.

Schemes Proposed for the Eleventh Plan Period

6. To achieve the targeted increase in sugarcane and sugar production, two schemes

have been proposed for the Eleventh Plan: the Sugarcane Development Scheme (centrally

sponsored) and Infrastructure Development in sugar mills.

Centrally Sponsored Schemes

6.1 Field Demonstration: These demonstrations will be done by

the State Cane Development Department in the farmer‘s field, where

assistance of Rs. 5000 per demonstration will be given for the use of inputs

required to demonstrate the technology. The size of demonstration will be

half a hectare.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan 2007-12: Rs.230.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08 - Rs.40.00 lakh]

6.2 Training Programme and Educational Tours

6.2.1 Educational Tours: To upgrade the knowledge of Sugarcane Department

officials and cane growers, educational tours are proposed outside the state. There is a

proposal to organise 60 such educational tours during the Eleventh Plan.

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

Creating a suitable climate for the establishment, growth and expansion of the

sugar industry in Bihar.

9 sugar mills are running in the Bihar.

19 projects proposals for setting up new sugar complexes are being

processed.

13 proposals have been approved by the State Government.

10 Mega projects of Sugar Complexes having crushing capacity 25000 TCD

will be setup by 2010.

Exploring avenues to rejuvenate the 15 closed sugar mills and 2 distilleries

under the Bihar State Sugar Corporation via privatization and to expand the

crushing capacity of the operational sugar mills.

7.6 CO-OPERATION

Agriculture and rural development have been accorded top priority in the National

Policy on Agriculture. Emphasis has been laid on enhancing the flow of resources to

agricultural sector both from public as well as private sources, in order to increase

agricultural productivity and ensure qualitative improvement in the life of farmers.

Poverty alleviation programmes are proposed to be strengthened by increasing credit

flow to the rural areas and strengthening the rural infrastructure.

2. Since the early days of planning, cooperatives have been perceived as the most

important grassroots institution for the promotion of equity, social justice and economic

development. Cooperatives, as a poor person‘s corporate structure, have become almost

indispensable for rural people in the context of globalisation and liberalisation of the

Indian economy. Self-help groups, and associations of workers, small producers, women,

weaker section, etc., need to be promoted, supported and strengthened. The government

should actively partner with the voluntary sector in organising and promoting these

institutions. The legislative framework for these institutions has also undergone

modifications to cater to changes in the economy and society. In fact, for a state like

Bihar, with agriculture and its allied sectors being the mainstay of its economy, in the

post-division phase, cooperatives appear to be the most important medium for improving

the condition of marginal and small farmers, share croppers, landless labourers and other

deprived sections of rural society.

3. The cooperative movement aims at overall economic and social development of

small and marginal farmers, artisans and other poorer and weaker section of society

through cooperation. Bihar is a predominantly agricultural state, with over 80 percent of

its population living in villages and dependent on agriculture. The credit requirement of

this segment of the society has remained largely outside the operation of commercial

banks and even of regional rural banks. Self-sufficiency in food production, rather than

food security as the larger goal, cannot be achieved unless the credit requirements of the

farmers are fulfilled. The cooperative movement in the state has shouldered this task

creditably through a network of 5,936 primary agriculture credit societies and 22 district

central cooperative banks. The Bihar State Cooperative Bank, the apex institution,

provides short-term and medium-term credit for crops sown during kharif and rabi at

affordable rates of interest; and the Bihar State Cooperative Land Development Bank

Ltd. caters to the long-term credit needs of farmers. Processing and marketing of

agricultural produce and supply of inputs like seed and fertiliser are covered under the

BISCOMAUN; housing needs are met through the Housing Cooperative Federation and

primary housing cooperative societies; and consumer facilities are provided through the

Consumer Cooperative Federation, CCS and similar primary cooperative societies.

4. Review of the Tenth Plan

Against the revised Tenth Plan outlay of Rs. 30408.69 lakh for cooperatives,

expenditure incurred during the Tenth Plan period was Rs.30380.13 lakh (99.90 %).

5. Objectives for 11th

Plan: In order to achieve the objectives set out in the XIth

five year plan, the following strategy is proposed to be adopted :-

(A) To improve the viability of credit institutions at all levels by massive

deposit mobilisation scheme, recovery of overdues, diversification of

business activities, enhancement of credit flow in rural economy etc.

(B) Marketing, storage and processing facilities to be geared up with the help

of NCDC.

(C) In order to increase the involvement and participation of woman and

weaker sections, co-operative societies and self-help groups are to be

organised down to the panchayat level.

(D) Human Resources Development Programme for members, office-bearers,

officers, staff of the cooperative institutions.

6(A) Agriculture Credit Stabilization Fund to State Cooperative Banks: Financial

assistance is given under this scheme to state cooperative banks to tide them over

problems from natural calamities. It provides relief to cultivators in repayment of crop

loans by converting short-term loans into medium-term loans. Rs. 500.00 lakh is

Water Resources Development

8.1 Irrigation, Flood Control, Development of Command Area

1. The National Development Council (NDC) has stated that agricultural

development strategies must be reoriented to meet the needs of the farmers. Even today

the soul of India lives in the villages and approximately three fourth population's

economical life depend upon agriculture. Therefore the National Development Council

(NDC) has asked the central and state governments to evolve a strategy to rejuvenate

agriculture to raise annual growth in agriculture to 4 percent during the Eleventh Plan, for

which it gives the highest priority to completing all the on-going schemes, especially

those sponsored by the AIBP.

2. By 2008-09, Bihar plans to complete all AIBP, Central sponsored on-going

schemes, namely the Sone Modernisation Scheme, Durgawati Reservoir Scheme, and

Western Kosi Irrigation Scheme. Two more schemes, the Bateshwarsthan Pump Canal

Scheme and Punpun Barrage Scheme, will be included under the AIBP. These two

schemes could be completed by 2008-09 if included under the AIBP by the central

government. The NDC resolution recommends that modernisation schemes and inter-

linking of river basins within a state should be taken up under the AIBP.

3. Modernisation schemes, namely modernisation of the Chandan Reservoir and of

the Badua Reservoir are proposed to be included under the AIBP. Inter-linking of river

basins within a state, namely the Ghaghara-Gandak and Bagmati-Adhawara group

interlinking schemes are proposed to be included under the AIBP.

4. Apart from the AIBP-sponsored schemes other on-going, ERM and new schemes

run under NABARD, state plan and RSVY are targeted to be completed in the Eleventh

Plan period. 5. Bihar has created 28.33 lakh ha irrigation potential till the end of the Tenth

Plan (2002-07) through major and medium irrigation projects against an ultimate

irrigation potential of 53.53 lakh ha.

6. In the Eleventh Plan, Bihar plans to create an additional irrigation potential of

2.94 lakh ha through on-going schemes, and 8.80 lakh ha through new schemes. Through

its interlinking schemes of river basins within the state, Bihar plans to create additional

irrigation potential of 3.87 lakh ha. In this way the state plans to create an aggregate of

15.61 lakh ha in the Eleventh Plan through various irrigation schemes.

7. The gap between the creation and utilisation of irrigation potential is

unfortunately widening. Since the end of the Tenth Plan (2002-07), utilisation is only

16.64 lakh ha against a created irrigation potential of 28.33 lakh ha (which is 59% of

created potential). This is very low compared to the national average of 80%. It is very

important to reduce this gap in the Eleventh Plan. To do this, Bihar plans to restore the

lost irrigation potential of completed old schemes, and several restoration schemes are

proposed to be taken in the Eleventh Plan under RSVY, Nabard and the state plan. Lost

irrigation potential of 7.17 lakh ha is proposed to be restored through these schemes.

8. Bihar has formulated a reforms strategy to improve the utilisation by not only

restoring the lost irrigation potential of old schemes but also through on-farm

development (OFD) through the Command Area Development Programme. The state

currently has adopted the field-to-field irrigation method in which a lot of water is lost.

To minimise the loss of irrigation water, several field channels will be constructed from

outlets to fields during the Eleventh Plan. Besides the construction of field channels, the

transfer of canal distributaries will be accelerated during the Eleventh Plan so that the

utilisation of irrigation potential can increase. During the Tenth Plan, 46 canal

distributaries were transferred and the remaining canal distributaries are proposed to be

transferred to the Eleventh Plan.

9. Bihar is a state in which suffers from all four water-borne disasters - drought,

floods, water-logging and river erosion. To mitigate drought-related problems several

major and medium irrigation schemes have been constructed and are under construction.

But for flood disaster Bihar has adopted both long and short-term strategies. Under the

short-term strategy, by the end of the Tenth Plan, Bihar had constructed 3,430.00 km. of

embankments and provided protection to 29.44 lakh ha. against the flood-prone area of

68.80 lakh ha. The protection of embankments against river erosion is also vital, so

several anti-erosion works are implemented along the rivers each year to protect villages,

towns, and embankments against river erosion. In the Eleventh Plan, embankment

schemes and anti-erosion works have been proposed. All-weather roads on embankments

will also be built to provide road communication to farmers and villagers.

10. The Bihar government has submitted a list of 58 anti-erosion, embankments and

embankment road schemes under the CSS and CPS amounting Rs. 5,199.29 crore (which

is appended in Annexure-I), but the GFCC has recommended the following schemes for

Rs. 2,882.00 crore during the Eleventh Plan under central assistance.

Total 2,882.00

11. To face the challenges of water-logging the Bihar government has formulated a

strategy to drain out chaurs that are not very deep. Till the end of the Tenth Plan, Bihar

has made 1.75 lakh ha. free from water-logging against a total water-logged area of 9.41

lakh ha. 2.50 lakh hec. water-logging area has been marked where the depth of water is

more and not profitable on economical ground. Fisheries & Agriculture of singhara &

makhana are proposed to encouragement. In the Eleventh Plan 1.09 lakh ha. have been

targeted to be reclaimed from water-logging through various drainage schemes.

Strategy of Reforms during the Eleventh Plan (2007-12)

12. Modernisation of all completed major and medium irrigation schemes would be

undertaken in phases to achieve 250% irrigation intensity. All completed schemes have

been constructed at 120-180% irrigation intensity. A lot of additional irrigation potential

can be created out of these modernisation schemes.

13. Regular performance analyses will be conduced for every irrigation scheme by a

reputed national agency or consultant every five years, so that overall restoration can be

done on priority. Restoration of sections of schemes will be discouraged.

14. The Indrapuri Reservoir Scheme's dispute with the Uttar Pradesh Government

should be resolved immediately to stabilise the Sone system. A meeting of the Board of

Bansagar should be called by the central government to resolvethis dispute .So that

thescheme would be completed during 11th five year plan.

15. Research and Training are the major factors for continuous development.

Continuous training programme should be executed for latest technical knowledge to

working and newly appointed engineers/staffs. For this purpose water and Land

Management Institution (WALMI) should be strengthened and revamped.

16. Detailed project reports (DPRs) should be prepared by a survey and investigation

wing, but are being prepared by the construction and maintenance divisions, and often are

delayed. The problem can be tackled by restoring the advance planning wing.

17. Siltation causes a steep rise in the levels of the river and canal beds, which in turn

reduces the carriage and storage capacity of rivers and causes severe water-logging.

Regarding water management removing silt from rivers and canals and disposing huge

amount of silt has become a great challenge. For facing the challenge deepening of rivers

or resectioning of rivers will augment the carrying and storage capacity of rivers.

18. Intra-linking of river basins projects will be given more emphasis. These schemes

would be imposed under AIBP for central assistance.

19. The pattern of funding under AIBP should be reversed from 25% central share

and 75% state share to 75% central share and 25% state share to ease the financial burden

on the state exchequer.

20. Under the long-term strategy to combat floods, an international agreement with

the Nepal government should be expedited. A multipurpose high dam in the Himalayan

tarai area of Nepal will permanently solve North Bihar's recurring flood problems.

Proposal for 11th Five Year Plan

21. After the bifurcation of the state and parting away mineral enriched Jharkhand

state, Bihar has become primarily an agricultural state. For the overall development of

Bihar enormous emphasis should be given on priority basis for the development of

agriculture .Irrigation is the backbone of agriculture development. For this a

revolutionary approach is needed departing from the conventional system of the

formulation of irrigation sector scheme. In the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) initiatives

have been taken to formulate integrated river basin development schemes departing from

the practice of formulating separate plans for irrigation of one river basin, flood control

and water drainage.

Excess water from a particular basin be diverted to water deficit basin or

less developed basin.

Instead of taking up construction of dam, barrage or weir on a particular

river, a holistic approach be undertaken and in that particular basin all

aspects related to water management viz., irrigation, flood moderation,

construction of embankments, their black topping etc be taken up in such a

manner so that optimal benefit by dovetailing of all the individual

components can be derived.

Initiative has been taken to solve the controversial issues of the inter-state

irrigation scheme in the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12).

22. The Water Resources Department of the state government has identified some

intra-basin linking schemes. It has been observed that basins located in North Bihar if

developed and managed properly will yield flood moderation benefits and those in South

Bihar will yield irrigation benefits. The Department intends to integrate the various

components of water resources within a basin, interlinking the rivers and connecting

them with traditional sources of irrigation, thereby increasing storage of water.

22(i).The different river basins of the state are as under:

South Bihar

Karmnasa

Sone-Kao-Gangi

Badua-Belharna

Bilasi-Chandan-Chir

North Bihar

Koshi

Ghaghara-Gandak-Burhi Gandak

Mahananda

Kamala Balan

Bagmati-Adhwara Group

22(ii). In the process of development of the basin, the Ganga stem divides Bihar into two

parts. The area on the northern bank of the river is called North Bihar and on the southern

bank is known as South Bihar. North Bihar lies at the foothills of the Himalaya and

extends up to the border with Nepal. The rivers namely Kosi, Gandak, Bagmati and

Mahananda originate in Nepal and flow downwards to North Bihar before draining into

River Ganga which acts as a master drain for these tributaries. During the monsoon when

the drainage responsibility of the Ganga fails, North Bihar faces severe natural disasters

in the form of floods, water-logging and erosion. As a result, Bihar's agrarian economy is

adversely affected because farmers cannot raise two or three crops a year.

A(3)(ii)NEW PROJECTS

Bagmati Multipurpose Scheme and Indrapuri Reservoir Scheme are proposed to

be taken up during XIth Plan period.On completion of the Uderasthan Barrage Scheme

the chronic drought prone districts of Jehanabad, Nalanda and Gaya of South Bihar, shall

be benefited.

Bagmati Multipurpose Scheme apart from providing irrigation has flood control

components as well for mitigating floods in the North Bihar. On completion of this

scheme the districts of Sheohar, Sitamarhi and Muzaffarpur of North Bihar will be

benefited from the vagaries of the flood. It may be note worthy that the execution of the

Bagmati Project which was kept suspended during the Xth Plan period owing to various

technical and economic reasons is proposed to be taken up during the XIth Plan period on

a priority basis.

Indrapuri Reservoir Scheme envisages construction of a barrage 80 kms upstream

of Indrapuri barrage. On completion it would provide stability for irrigation to the

existing Sone Canal System apart from generating 450 MW of hydel electricity. Brief

details of these projects are as under:

created and its utilization restoration work in the following projects are proposed during

the XIth Plan period. The restoration works are likely to be completed during the

stipulated period and are not beset with problems like land acquisition, forest and

environmental clearance. Hence they shall be taken up on priority. Details of the ERM

A(3)(iv)INTRA- BASIN LINKING IN BIHAR :-

Water Resources Department of Govt. Bihar is identifying the scheme of

interlinking of rivers within the state and having studied their potentiality preparing the

detailed project report on priority basis for execution. It is to be highlighted that the

Inter-linking of River (ILR) Schemes identified by the National Water Development

Agency (NWDA) under the Himalayan component and the peninsular component related

to Bihar contain the international issues and it will take a long time to tackle it. That's

why the priority of these schemes have been lowered by National Water Development

Agency (NWDA). All these schemes are on rivers originating in Nepal, besides some of

the Link canals are also proposed in their territory.

Even, otherwise Department of Water Resources of GOB held the view that first

of all sub-basins (within a basin) should be linked first. It is likely to give maximum

benefits at relatively lower investments, has lesser environmental impacts, less inter-state

ramification and thus could be relatively less cumbersome to execute. Also worth

consideration is the paradoxical situation, whereby, in spite of, its rich land and water

resources, agriculture in the state suffers from the bane of low productivity while this has

been a result of under-development, leading to under-utilisation of the states resources, it

created a situation whereby its water requirements are under estimated and the state is

unrealistically deemed as water surplus.

The GOB opines that even in a national perspective, it should be considered

economically prudent to first improve the agricultural infrastructure in States like Bihar

(endowed with rich water and land resources) to attain the objectives of higher food

production per unit costs before trans-basin diversion of water through the NWDA's ILR

Schemes were considered. It is in the above background that the intra-basin linking of

rivers scheme is lately under the active consideration of the Government of Bihar. The

State faces the multiple and chronic problems of flood, drought, drainage-congestion so

it is warranted immediate intervention on the part of the Government to alleviate the

suffering of the problem affected people.

At the start, the GOB has identified some Intra-Basin Linking Schemes and these

are being studied further. Of these schemes, those located in North Bihar has flood

moderation benefits, while those in South Bihar has irrigation benefits. The Government

is contemplating to develop individual basins to ensure optimum use of water resources

in each basin as also transfer of water from one basin to another within the State

depending upon normal/seasonal surplus/deficit. The Government intends to integrate the

various water resources components within a basin, through, interlinking the traditional

ahar and pyne systems with the existing canal system. It is also proposed to increase

storages in the basin by creating new tanks/ahars at the appropriate places. The following

are the sector wise list of schemes identified by the State Govt. for which studies are

being undertaken at present:

Development of Bagmati Irrigation & Drainage Project – Phase-1 (Barrage near

Nepal Border at Dheng)

Augmentation of Water availability in the existing Gandak Canal System through

transfer of water from Burhi-Gandak, Baya and from Gandak by construction of a

second barrage near Areraj on it under Gandak Project Phase-II.

Provision of second barrage at Arwal on river Sone to augment water availability

in Sone Canal System to reduce its dependence on Indrapuri Barrage and utilize

water thus saved at Indrapuri Barrage for transfer to Punpun-Harohar-Kiul Basin.

Baksoti Barrage Scheme on river Sakri and conversion of Nata Weir to a Barrage

on river Nata in Nawada district with suitable link from Sakri river to Nata river

from Baksoti barrage site.

Apart from the above schemes, some more are in the offing which is under

process of identification. It is proposed that in addition to the schemes already identified

for North Bihar, which have diversion of flood water as its objective, more link schemes

be identified for that reason so as to stabilize water availability in the existing irrigation

system besides providing irrigation facilities to area outside the command of existing and

proposed conventional irrigation projects. As per the tentative plans, it is proposed to

complete the Feasibility Studies and Detailed Project Report of the above link schemes

within the next 1-2 years. Once the Feasibility Reports are ready, prioritization of

projects would be done. Generally, the link schemes benefiting the severely drought

affected districts of South Bihar would be accorded higher priority even though a few

flood sector schemes of North Bihar could also be taken up in a parallel way. The

preparation of Detailed Project Report of the link scheme found feasible and in higher

order of priority shall be completed first, which would require about one year's time from

the date of the commencement of the works.

A(3)(v)Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM):-

In consonance with the national water policy operation, maintenance and upkeep

of all the canal systems has to be transferred to the users, known as water users

association, under the Participatory Irrigation Management Program in a phased manner.

As of date the status of transfer of the canal systems to the WUAs is as

follows:

Number of systems transferred to WUA 46

Number of Farmers societies registered 07

Number of Societies who have applied for registration 24

Number of Societies whose applications are being formalized 15

Number of Societies which are in the process of being formed 518

Total 622

The area transferred through 46 distributories is 147.76 Th. Ha.. The target of XI

th five year plan to transfer all remaining distributories to the WUAS.

(B)FLOOD CONTROL & DRAINAGE:

(B)(i) The state suffers from serious floods each year. Roughly 56.5 percent

of flood affected people in India live in Bihar. The Planning Commission

has also acknowledged that the allocations for flood control are particularly

insufficient and inequitable, since major causes of flood cannot be

surmounted with state level effort alone. While the floods cause a serious

setback to agricultural and other production, initiatives to minimize the

furies of flood has got to be concretized at the levels of Government of India

and Government of Nepal. This has been a matter of concern to the Govt. of

Bihar since long.

B(ii) After the bifurcation of the State North Bihar is geographically the most flood

affected area of the Country. The flood affected area is 68.80 lakh ha., which is 73.06%

of the total area of the State i.e., 94.16 lakh ha. Incidentally the total flood affected area

of the country being 400 lakh ha., this works out to almost 17.2%. Reason for inundation

by flood waters over such a large tract in North Bihar is mainly due to the rivers

originating from Nepal. Gandak, Kosi, Bagmati, Kamala Balan, Bhutahi Balan,

Mahananda all originate in Nepal and enter North Bihar. The bed slope of these rivers in

Nepal is very steep and as soon as these rivers enter in Bihar, the terrain is almost flat

thereby the silt carried settles in the river bed. This diminishes the carrying capacity of

the rivers and it results in water spilling over the banks and causing misery to the

populace and meandering of the river. To mitigate the flood havoc 2952 kms of

embankments are in North Bihar and the length of the embankments in South Bihar is

478 kms.

With the help of financial assistance of the Central Govt the following Centrally

Sponsored Schemes in flood sector have been transferred from Xth five year plan to XI th

five year plan .

1. Anti Erosion Works in Ganga basin under CSS.

The ratio of expenditure in this category of scheme between Centre and

State is 75:25. At present 10 schemes of anti-erosion work/ raising and

strengthening of different river embankments have been undertaken after the

approval of Ministry of Water Resources, Govt. of India.. All the schemes are to

be completed within this financial year 2007-08. The Ganga flood control

commission, Govt. of India has been provided with a list of 34 no. of flood

protection schemes worth 2150.62 crores for the XIth five year plan period (2007-

12).

2. Centrally plan Scheme (100% Central Share)

Anti Erosion work of Kosi river (Nepal portion)

The expenditure incurred against these schemes is 100% reimburshed by

the MOWR, GOI. The schemes are selected for execution before a particular

flood by Kosi High level committee comprising of its chairman as Chariman of

Ganga Flood Control Commission. The expenditure is reimburshed after the

submission of utilisation certificate by WRD, GOB. It has been planned to

execute 9 no. of flood protection schemes on Kosi embankments in Nepal

portion in 2007-08.

C. DRAINAGE

C(i) About 9.41 lakh ha of land of the state is affected by water logging problem. Out

of this 9.41 lakh ha, 8.35 lakh ha lies in North Bihar and 1.06 lakh ha is in South Bihar.

Perennial water logging over such vast tract of land deprives the state of vast tract of land

which could otherwise have been utilized for agricultural purposes. Out of this area of

9.41 lakh ha, an area of 1.75 lakh ha has been freed from water logging. 2.50 lakh ha, out

of the balance 7.66 lakh ha are proposed to be utilized for aquaculture, fisheries etc, as it

is not economically viable to drain out this portion. The main reasons for drainage

congestions are:

Heavy precipitation and/or spilling of riverbanks and low drainage

capacity.

Obstruction of drainage channels.

Inadequate drainage of surface water due to unfavourable outfall

conditions.

Seepage from canals, tanks and sub soil flow from higher grounds

causing rise in the water table.

Remedial measures adopted so far are as follows:

Modification of the cross sectional area and longitudinal slope of the

important trunk drains of the basin.

Consequent modification of the longitudinal slopes of the link drains.

Construction of field drains so that surplus water may lead to link and trunk

channels through these field drains, and

Conjunctive use of water.

On the basis of the above measures 1.75 lakh ha of land has been freed from

water logging so far.

C(ii). During the XIth Plan period the following schemes are proposed to be

taken up for freeing 1.09 lakh hectare from water logging.

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

Modernisation of all completed major & medium irrigation schemes would be

taken in phases to achieve 250% irrigation intensity.

Performance analysis of every irrigation schemes should be done by reputed

national agency or consultants at the interval of every five year so that

overhaul restoration of scheme should be taken on priority.

Indrapuri Reservoir scheme's dispute with Utter Pradesh Government should

be resolved immediately to stabilise the Sone system.

Research and training wing of department should be strengthened. For this

purpose WALMI should be revamped.

Enter linking of river basins projects will be given more emphasis. These

schemes would be imposed under AIBP for central assistance.

It has been planned to complete all AIBP sponsored on going schemes namely

Sone Modernisation scheme, Durgawati Reservoir Scheme, Western Kosi

Irrigation Scheme till 2008-09 to achieve 4 percent annual growth in the

agriculture sector during 11th Plan 2007-12.

Two schemes namely Bateshwar sthan Pump Canal. Scheme and Punpun

Barrage Schemes are proposed to be included under AIBP.

Modernisation schemes namely modernisation of Chandan Reservoir schemes

and Modernisation of Badua Reservoir scheme are proposed to be included

AIBP.

Inter linking schemes of river basins within state namely Ghaghara-Gandak

and Bagmati-Adhawara Group interlinking schemes are being proposed to be

included under AIBP.

Reforms strategy to improve the utilisation by not only restoring the lost

irrigation potential of old schemes but also through On Farm Development

(OFD) through Command Area Development Programme has been

formulated.

To minimise the losses of irrigation water a lot of field channels have been

proposed to be constructed from outlets to field.

Under short term strategy Bihar 3430.00 Km. of embankments till the end of

Xth Plan 2002-2007 has been constructed.

Protection to 29.44 LHa. gainst the flood prone ara of 68.80 LHa. Has been

provided.

To face the challenge of water logging the strategy to drain out those chaurs

which are not very deep has been prepared.

Till the end of Xth Plan 2000-07 1.75 LHa. Water logging area has been freed

against the total water logged area of 9.41 LHa. In XIth Plan 1.09 LHa. Has

been targeted to make free from water logging through drainage schemes.

8.2 MINOR WATER RESOURCES

1. Water has been one of crucial elements in developmental planning. The basic

policy of the government has been to develop and conserve scarce and precious national

resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. Exploitation of ground water

resources will be carried out on a regulated basis and should not exceed the recharging

capabilities.

2. Ultimate Minor Irrigation Potential of the State

I. Surface schemes including traditional ahar and pynes – 15.44 lakh ha.

II. Ground Water Utilisation Schemes of open wells,

shallow tubewells and deep tubewells

– 48.57 lakh ha.

Total 64.01 lakh ha.

3. Minor Irrigation Potential created (up to the Tenth Plan Period)

I Ground water schemes – 28.99 lakh ha.

II Surface water schemes including ahars and pynes – 7.27 lakh ha.

Total 36.26 lakh ha.

4. Irrigation Potential utilised in 2005-06

I. Surface water including lift and barge schemes – 0.49 lakh ha.

II. Surface water ahars, pynes and traditional systems – 3.32 lakh ha.

III. State tubewells – 0.25 lakh ha.

IV. Private tubewells and irrigation wells – 27.64 lakh ha.

Total 31.70 lakh ha.

5. Objectives of the Eleventh Plan

To meet the irrigation needs of the state, the objectives during the Eleventh Plan are the

speedy development of potential, improving the utilisation of developed potential,

expanding irrigation benefits to unirrigated land, increasing subsidies for private tube

wells and pumps, and increasing sustainability by strengthening water users associations.

7. Proposals for the Eleventh Plan

7(1) Surface irrigation schemes in the MI sector are mainly done through the storage and

diversion of surface water sources of small rivers, streams, and water bodies such

as ahars and pynes. The state government is implementing their execution mainly

through NABARD Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) loans. The

RIDF schemes are to be executed within three years. Hence cost overruns of M.I.

surface schemes are not a common phenomenon. Most of the schemes are executed

within one to three years. In the Eleventh Plan, the RIDF from NABARD will be

used for the execution of important surface schemes.

7(2) The Minor Water Resources Department has proposed the creation of 80,000

hectares of additional potential by completing surface schemes under the RIDF and

Repair, Renovation and Restoration of Water Bodies (ahars and pynes) under the

Bharat Nirman Programme for the first two year of the Eleventh Plan, namely

2007-08 and 2008-09. The same rate of creation of additional minor irrigation

potential under Eleventh Plan will be maintained during the next three years from

2009-10 to 2011-12. Also, schemes for the repair, renovation and restoration of

traditional water bodies in the state, such as ahars and pynes will be undertaken as

their operation and maintenance was transferred to this Department in 2006-07. The

Department will restore about 1,000 ahars and pynes under the State Plan during

the Eleventh Plan period. It is estimated that this scheme will restore about

1,00,000 ha. of lost potential of these water bodies. Schemes under RIDF for the

construction of weirs, sluice gates and checkdams on small streams and rivers will

also be proposed or financing and execution during the Eleventh Plan.

7(3) Ground water exploitation is on average 40-50% of the annual replenishable ground

water resources, so there is no immediate threat of critical or over-exploitation of

these resources. The ultimate potential of annually replenishable ground water

resources reserved for irrigation is 48.57 lakh ha. A potential of about 30 lakh ha.

Has been created up to 2006-07. After the Tenth Plan period about 18.57 lakh

ha. of unexploited irrigation potential from ground water will have to be developed.

This is proposed to be done by extending the Private Shallow Tubewell Programme

under RSVY to the Eleventh Plan. Also a scheme of 3,000 medium-duty, deep tube

wells is being executed under the RIDF Phase-XI of NABARD. Another such

scheme under NABARD RIDF is proposed to be posed for acceptance. The 5,000

tubewells created under these two schemes at the end of the Eleventh Plan will

create additional irrigation potential of 2,00,000 ha. Similarly, an additional 4.5

lakh shallow private tubewells and open wells can be installed during the Eleventh

Plan period. It is also proposed to restore 2,000 old, closed tubewells under the

RIDF and State Plan. Thus, about 10.87 lakh ha. of additional irrigation potential

will be created by exploiting the ground water resource of the state through

schemes proposed under the Eleventh Plan.

7(4) The state government does not provide free power or highly subsidised power for

tube wells, and tube wells are not being run optimally due to non-availability of

adequate power. Ground water recharge is required mainly in the drought-prone

south Bihar district. The policy of the M.I. Department is to encourage indirect

recharge through percolation of water stored in ponds, ahars, chaurs and other water

bodies in the state. Direct ground water recharge is not required under the present

ground water exploitation level in the state. In selected stressed areas, direct ground

water recharge will be resorted to when needed. For this the state government

enacted the Bihar State Ground Water (Regulation & Control for Management) Act

which will help in notifying areas where ground water exploitation has reached

critical levels. A proposal for 100 exploratory tube wells has been given during the

Eleventh Plan to assess the ground water fluctuations and recharge requirements.

7(5) The subsidy for general, small, marginal and SC/ST farmers for private shallow

tube well schemes needs to be enhanced from the present 30 percent, 40 percent

and 50 percent, respectively, to 70-90 percent, as farmers cannot pay the Rs.

20,000-Rs. 30,000, needed under the present subsidy levels. The average depth of

shallow tube wells in the state is 45 m. At the current rates, the average cost of

installing a shallow tubewell with a pumpset is around Rs. 40,000.00. The subsidy

at the present rate of 30-40 percent will be Rs. 12,000-20,000, leaving the farmer to

raise Rs. 20,000-30,000 through bank loans and their own resources. Farmers,

especially SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, cannot shoulder this burden.

Hence the scheme is unattractive for weaker categories of farmers who will be the

main beneficiaries, as big and middle farmers are supposed to have already

benefited from the schemes. In this context, to make the scheme attractive for

weaker categories of farmers, the subsidy needs to be increased to 70-90% as under

programmes such as the Million Shallow Tubewell Programme (MSTP). For

boosting agriculture production and productivity in the state, the scheme for private

tubewells has to be continued in the Eleventh Plan period and subsidies need to be

increased.

Major Policy Thrust /Milestones

The Minor Water Resources Department has proposed the creation of 80,000

hectares of additional potential by completing surface schemes under the

RIDF and Repair, Renovation and Restoration of Water Bodies (ahars and

pynes) under the Bharat Nirman Programme.

Private Tube Well and Million Shallow Tube Well Programme under RSVY to

create additional irrigation potential of 2,00,000 ha.

To make the scheme attractive for weaker categories of farmers, the subsidy

needs to be increased to 70-90%

About 100 exploration tubewells and recharge wells are proposed to be

established during the Eleventh Plan for the assessment, investigation and

augmentation of the state's ground water resources.

Dynamics of Floods Management

Bihar is the state most affected by floods in the country, and accounts for 17% of the

flood-prone area of the country. Post-bifurcation, Bihar has a geographical area of 93.81

lakh hectares, of which 68.80 lakh hectares are flood-prone and 10 lakh hectares are

perpetually water-logged. Due to cyclical and climatological factors, flood-related

problems affect not only to the plains of North Bihar, but also large tracts of South Bihar.

The widespread, pervasive nature of the problem is evident from table 9.1.

2. Floods occur when rivers are in high flow, markedly higher than usual, and when

low land is inundated by over-flowing rivers or heavy precipitation, without adequate

drainage. Floods occur in river basins when:

Streams carry water in excess of their transporting capacity;

Water backs up in tributaries as they flow into the main river;

Heavy local rainfall coincides with river spills; and

Surface water cannot be drained effectively or with enough speed.

3. In Bihar, about 80% of the annual rainfall usually occurs between June and

September, which is the monsoon period. Rivers with insufficient capacity to

accommodate monsoon discharges, overflow and flood the adjoining areas. Bihar is in

the centre of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The area covering the left bank of the Ganga is

North Bihar and the area on the north eastern region is South Bihar. Almost the entire

northern region is affected by floods every year.

4. The main rivers and basins in Bihar are: the Ganga, which is joined on its left

bank by the Ghaghra, Gandak, Bagmati, Kamla-Balan, Kosi and Mahananda, which

originate from the Himalayas. The major tributaries which join the right bank of the

Ganga in Bihar are the Karmnasa, Sone, Punpun, Kiul-Harohar, Badua, Chandan and

Gumani. The Karmnasa originates from the Kaimur hills in Kaimur district of Bihar and

the Sone originates from the Maikala hills in Madhya Pradesh, while the Punpun and the

Kiul-Harohar originate from the hills of the Chotanagpur plateau in Bihar. All the rivers,

apart from the Burhi Gandak, which join the Ganga on its left bank in Bihar, flow

through a considerable length of Nepal and a large part of their catchment area falls in the

glacial regions of the great Himalayas. These rivers are snowfed and hence perennial. In

the catchments and upper reaches of these rivers, deforestation as a result of expanding

activity fuel has altered the river regime and eroded the vegetative cover.

Consequentially, the rivers not only carry large water discharges, but huge quantums of

silt. Silt is deposited along the river course as slopes and gradients decline into gentle and

flat plains. This deposition of silt raises river beds, reducing their carrying capacity, and

causing the river to meander.

Long-Term and Short-term Solutions

5. Apart from forestations in the upper reaches of the rivers, soil conservation and

watershed treatment need to be taken up in various catchments, within the hill areas

outside Bihar. Watershed treatment in these areas will benefit Bihar by reducing the

quantum of silt being carried downstream, and the degree of meandering. However, the

long-term solution to floods in Bihar lies in the provision of reservoirs in the upper

reaches of the main rivers and their tributaries. Unfortunately, most of these rivers

originate in Nepal and flow through it for the considerable length before entering Bihar,

and all suitable dam sites fall in that country. Co-operation between the two governments

is necessary before dams can be constructed in Nepal. Sites on the tributaries of the Kosi

River have been investigated and a high dam at Barakshetra is proposed which would

moderate the maximum floods from 42,475 cumecs (15 lakh cusecs) to 14,000 cumecs (5

lakh cusecs) at Barahkshetra. It will also trap most of the coarse and medium silt carried

by the river, which in turn will help stabilise the river and reduce its meandering and

braiding tendencies. Proposals on likely sites for the construction of reservoirs on other

major rivers like the Bagmati and Kamala have been submitted to the central government.

Apart from the construction of dams in Nepal, large-scale catchment area treatment is

needed in Nepal to trap the silt load coming to India through these rivers. However,

before such measures come into being, the state will have to depend on short-term

measures including the construction and maintenance of embankments along the rivers.

Flood management works so far implemented comprise construction and maintenance of

3,430 km. of embankments, revetment in selected parts of river banks, land spurs (367 in

all, 284 in Kosi, 30 in Mahananda, 18 in Ganga and 35 in Gandak) and other flood

protection works.

6. Floods and drainage are the prime problems of Bihar. Of the total area (93.81 lakh

hectares) of the state, 73.06% (68.80 lakh ha) is affected by severe floods. This recurrent

problem causes loss of lives, damage to crops, disruption of communication systems,

demolition of dwellings, and devastation to all economic development activities in these

areas almost every year. Since rivers which flood generally originate in Nepal, and fool-

proof flood management requires large resources, the central government has been asked

to bear the entire expenditure on flood management.

7. The issue of water-logging is also of prime importance. About 9.00 lakh ha of

agriculture land is water-logged in North Bihar. An integrated drainage scheme in Kosi

and Gandak commands was formulated by the state government in 1986-87. On the

suggestion of the task force constituted by the Planning Commission, six pilot drainage

schemes under Phase II of Western Kosi Command (the Maniyari Drainage Scheme;

Upper Noon Drainage Scheme; Jharahi Drainage Scheme; Daha Drainage Scheme; Tel

Drainage Scheme and Drainage Scheme) were given clearance and taken up for

execution. But the acute financial crunch faced by the state since April 1991 has held up

work on these schemes. There is no possibility of completion of these schemes unless

these are fully funded by the central government as recommended by the Sen Committee

on Agricultural Productivity of Eastern Region appointed by the Reserve Bank of India.

Bihar Floods 2007

8. Even in the endemically flood-prone state of Bihar, the current year has been one

of the worst in terms of unpredictability, extent and scale of devastation. Data from the

Metrological Department suggests that precipitation from mid-July was 300% higher in

several parts of North Bihar, with water levels of many rivers rising 2-3 meters above the

danger mark. Factors like global warming leading to abnormally higher precipitation in

the upper catchments areas in Nepal have compounded the situation. Floods have

affected 19 districts covering 14 million people (3 million households), and destroyed 7

million hectares of crop, apart from the loss of assets, mainly of the poor. Damage to

thatched and mud houses have been enormous, not to speak of basic infrastructure such

as roads, embankments and irrigation systems. However, the government has been

providing effective relief to the affected population. The entire state machinery was

engaged: Nearly 5,200 boats was deployed for salvaging the marooned and distributing

relief through ground and aerial support, even in remote areas; army helicopters dropped

about 30,000 food packets totaling 130 tonnes, while 92,000 quintals of wheat and rice

were distributed; 40,000 polethene sheets were provided; and grants of over Rs 5 crore

were distributed to the people.

9. The state government with the active support of the central government and

civil society organisations has been responding to the immediate challenges in terms of

relief and rehabilitation. Connectivity to areas surfacing after the recession of flood

waters is being restored on a priority basis.

Need for a Special Package

10. ‗Inclusive development‘ is the main theme of Eleventh Plan, and the underlying

assumption is that the eastern region of the country will emerge as a grain bowl of the

country during this period. The state government, with help from the central government,

has initiated several measures for overall development and upgradation of physical and

social infrastructure in the state, in tune with its Eleventh Plan objective of accelerated

inclusive development. However, all these efforts are washed away in large areas in the

fury of the floods; large amounts are spent on restoration of infrastructure, to be

destroyed again the next year. Besides, no amount of relief can compensate for the

dehumanising experience of millions of people faced with no living space, drinking water

or food, health facilities, and even no way to dispose off their dead.

11. This clearly points to the need for out-of-the-box thinking and moving away from

prescribed norms, model estimates and standard policies. Some of the issues that need to

be considered are:

Massive deforestation in the catchment areas of several small and big rivers in North

Bihar, which originate in Nepal, has caused heavy silting of the rivers, reducing their

water carrying capacity and increasing the intensity of flooding and HFL yearly.

Roads constructed under various schemes, based on standard norms and

specifications, are washed away during floods, disrupting the connectivity of villages

and towns with markets, in fact, with civilization, for prolonged durations.

Nearly a million houses have been constructed under the IAY for the weaker sections,

but even these (quite apart from the thatched and the mud houses) cannot provide

shelter during months when floods occur. This is because habitations of communities

belonging to weaker sections are generally located on the fringes of villages and in

relatively low-lying areas.

Despite the intentions and resources invested at the state level, it is often difficult to

reach the relief to all the needy in time because of the absence of adequate

infrastructure for storage and management of relief centres.

Human lives obviously remain the top priority, but Bihar is an agricultural economy

and cattle also need protection. It is also difficult to transport, store and distribute

cattle feed and fodder to the volumes involved.

There are many developmental schemes for rural areas, but relatively few for the

urban areas. Urban local bodies, always in deep red, can not raise resources to create

and restore infrastructure, though smaller towns are as regularly affected by floods as

much the rural areas.

12. While issues on floods related to Nepal have to be resolved at the central

government level, the planning process within the country must tackle those aspects that

fall within its ambit.

Efforts must be taken to:

Reduce the frequency, duration, intensity and impact of floods;

Minimize the need for people to abandon their homes for shelter;

Minimize the loss of life and property; and

Create infrastructure for the efficient management of relief and rehabilitation for

people affected by floods.

13. The state government, after careful consideration of the above, has formulated

the following composite proposals:

The rivers of north Bihar need to be de-silted to enhance their water-carrying

capacity. The earth from this desilting process will be used to raise flood protection

embankments, or embankments for roads, wherever is required, and for raising the

ground level of the Indira Aawas to be constructed or reconstructed.

Intra-state linking of river-basins will divert water from surplus basins to deficit

basins, to minimise the impact and intensity of floods and provide irrigation during

the non-monsoon season.

The level of all the roads, particularly national highways, state highways, major

district roads (MDRs) and major rural roads should be raised above flood level, to

maintain basic connectivity even during floods. This is also essential for the effective

management of flood relief. A large part of the earth required could come from the

de-silting of rivers suggested above, involving only the carriage costs.

Houses for the weaker sections should be constructed on raised platforms which can

be built from the earth dug from the rivers. Where possible, the floor of these houses

should be above flood level. Incidentally, flood-prone areas also fall in the seismic

zone, and are thus prone to earthquakes. Therefore, houses should be built with

reinforcements to withstand earthquakes. Keeping in view the costs of building these

double-storied houses, they can be built in the mode of group housing.

Sustainable solutions are needed for the fodder scarcity during floods. The proposal is

to set up of banks of fodder bricks on a PPP model, which would be viable once they

begin functioning, but need initial support for capital investment.

Fishing ponds, a major source of livelihood for lakhs of people in North Bihar, also

become silted during floods, which prevents the scientific practice of pisiculture.

These need to be desilted.

Floods have choked and destroyed the drainage systems of many towns, including

parts of Patna; these need to be reconstructed on a large scale.

Panchayats as the lowest-level of the government hierarchy are best equipped to

handle relief and rehabilitation at the local level. However, they still do not have

offices or the infrastructure to perform their assigned duties. What is proposed are

panchayat sarkar bhawans which can function as a relief management centres during

floods.

The transport, storage and handling of food grains is a major problem during floods;

the proposal is to build a godown in each of the 404 flood-affected blocks and a larger

one in the 18 district headquarters, which will be managed by the State Food

Corporation.

14. There cannot be any dispute with the theoretical foundations behind these

proposals, though there may be issues regarding the phasing of implementation of the

schemes. It is suggested that a special task force be created at the Planning Commission

level to consider all the issues related to the technical and implementation aspects of the

proposals in a given time-frame, to arrive at a lasting solution to this perennial problem,

so that the state is firmly set on a path of sustainable development. A special package

from the Planning Commission or central government will be absolutely necessary if the

regional divide is to be prevented from widening.

Infrastructure

10.1 POWER

The power sector is a critical infrastructure for the development of the economy

and therefore the availability of adequate and reliable power has to be ensured. In the past

the growth of this sector has not been commensurate with its requirement. Now the

power sector has thus been given due priority. After the bifurcation of the state, the Bihar

State Electricity Board (BSEB) was left with only two power generation units: Barauni

thermal power station (with a generating capacity of 2x50+2x110MW) and Muzaffarpur

thermal power station (33whose generating capacity is 2x110MW). Most of the units in

these power stations are obsolete and need renovation. However, generation of electricity

from the BSEB sources is not sufficient to meet the demands of the state and the shortfall

is mainly met from the central allocation.

2. The main emphasis is to increase generation in thermal as well as hydro sector by

utilizing existing potential, revitalizing old and defunct units and setting up of new power

projects so as to meet the growing needs of trade, industry and agriculture sectors.

Running transmission projects need to be completed and new projects to be taken up to

have a matching transmission capacity. It is of utmost importance to expand the rural

distribution network in the whole state so as to achieve the objectives of electrification of

all villages and providing power to every household. For this construction of new lines ,

new grid sub-stations and power sub-stations, renewable of present grid sub-stations and

power sub-stations, adequate supply of transformers, complete installation of electronic

meter system and computerisation of consumers service are essential .

Strategy for the Eleventh Plan (2007-12) and Annual Plan (2007-08)

3. Generation:

Achieving minimum levels of self-sufficiency in generating capacity is necessary

in the context of the significant growth targets planned for the state. In the light of the

state‘s existing situation and to reach the national consumption target of 1,000 units per

capita per annum by 2012, several steps have been taken to enhance power generation in

the public as well as private sectors.

(A) Renovation and Modernization

Renovation and modernization of the Barauni and Muzaffarpur thermal power

stations have been sanctioned at a cost of Rs 506 crore under the RSVY. The restoration

work has begun on unit no.2 of MTPS and 60 to 80MW of power are expected to be

generated by end of Dec‘07.The restoration work of unit no. 6(110MW) of BTPS was

started by BHEL under supervision of NTPC. The unit is generating of 60-80MW from

Nov‘07. After Renovation and Modernization these thermal power stations will generate

400Mw‘s.

(B) Capacity addition from new thermal power projects: Strengthening

infrastructure in the energy sector was begun during the Tenth Plan and would continue

in the Eleventh Plan with the aim of building sustainable infrastructure to meet the

growing demand of the state. To improve power generation capacity, BSEB has decided

to set up new power stations and augment capacity in existing thermal power stations

during this Five Year Plan.

4. Thrust areas of the 11th Plan.

(a) State Sector: The Govt. has decided to augment capacity in the Barauni Thermal

Power Station by adding two units of 250 MW each. BSEB has applied for coal linkage

for the proposed expansion of thermal power station.

New power Project : BTPS Extension

Capacity : 2x250MW

Total Capacity : 500

Estimated project Cost : 2250.00 Cr.

(b) Joint Venture:

(i) Extension Unit of MTPS (2x250MW): The Kanti Power Generating Company,

a joint venture company of NTPC and BSEB, has agreed to add two new units of 250

MW each of Muzaffarpur Thermal Power Station.

(ii) Nabi Nagar (3x660MW): The State has also decided to set up a new thermal

power plant (3x660 MW) at Nabi Nagar through joint venture Company of NTPC and

BSEB/GOB.

(c) Private Sector: The private sector has a significant role to play in adding

generation capacity in the State. The state will need to make available investment

opportunities to sustain private interest in large generation investments in Bihar. The

State Government has set up a State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) under the Bihar

Single Window Clearance Act, 2006, to speed up all type of clearances. Several

Companies have shown their interest in setting up new power plants. Under tariff based

competitive bidding route the State Govt. has identified several sites for setting up of new

thermal power plants. The following new power plants have been proposed.

The State Govt. has also decided to set up a joint venture company with ILFS and

BSEB to develop and identify sites for these proposed Power Stations. This company will

not only develop these sites but also obtain all clearances and sanctions.

Total capacity of Nuclear power project at Rajauli as proposed by NPCIL,

Mumbai is 4x700 MW for which land requirement is 3150 Acre and water requirement is

32000 cub/hr out of which 16000 cub/hr will be consumptive. A team of experts for site

selection including engineers for NPCIL, Government of Bihar and BSEB visited the

proposed site in the first week of February 2007. Water availability for the plant is still to

be assured by Water Resource Department, Government of Bihar, so that this may be

confirmed to NPCIL for going ahead in the matter.

Besides this the State is also encouraging generation through Captive Power

Plants and Co-Generation Plants. The policy of Renewable Sources of Energy also

encourages private participation in small hydro power stations.

5. Transmission

Transmission is conceived as an independent entity under the policy of Electricity

Act, 2003. Transmission investments made under RSVY to strengthen the system in

North Bihar which is nearly completion at the cost of Rs. 552 Cr. under which 18 new

grid substations have been constructed and 875 Km of transmission line have been laid.

Further augmentation and strengthening of transmission system has been assessed jointly

by CEA, PGCIL and BSEB and execution of the work is being undertaken in two parts

i.e. Part-I and Part-II under Transmission Phase-II.

(a) Transmission Phase - II, Part- I

Sub-Transmission System Phase-II, Part-I project of Rs.1005.22 Cr. has been sanctioned

and is being executed by PGCIL. The fund amounting to Rs. 309.66 Cr. has been

released directly to PGCIL by Government of India up to 2006-07. Rs. 189.00 Cr. has

been sanctioned in 11th five year plan in which Rs. 150.00 Cr. is proposed for the

financial year 2007-08.

additional 9000 MVA transmission capacities at an estimated additional cost of Rs. 7000

Cr. for augmenting the transmission system to equip it to evacuate the new generating

capacity.

6. Distribution Reforms:

The real challenge of reforms in Bihar's Power Sector lies in improving the

efficiency of distribution system. The economic development of a State depends

upon stable Transmission/Distribution System. A matching investment for

distribution network has to be made to ensure proper utilization of power with

reasonable reliability and quality. According to the report submitted by M/s ICRA

limited to the Power Finance Corporation Limited, AT & C loss of Bihar State

Electricity Board has come down to 48% with the improvement in Transmission

and Distribution System under various schemes. The AT & C loss will further come

down further with the new programme being taken up.

The restructuring of BSEB into eight companies (one generation, one

transmission and five distribution companies) has to be done as early as possible.

The incorporation of these companies is proposed to be done in the first year of the

five year plan. The companies are likely to become fully functional by December,

2008.

Development work related to power distribution is also to be undertaken in

rural as well as urban areas. The work includes erection of new lines, underground

cabling, construction of new and power sub- stations, renovation of existing power

sub-stations and lines, increasing the supply of transformers, introduction of

electronic meter system and computerization of consumer services.

(a) A.P.D.R.P.:

Accelerated Power Development & Reform Programme has been taken up

for strengthening of Distribution System to improve the quality of supply and to

reduce AT & C losses. Under APDRP twelve circles out of sixteen circles have been

partly covered. The work like installation of consumer and feeder metering,

Reconductoring of over loaded 33 KV and 11 KV lines, R & M of 33/11 KV Power

Sub-Station, construction of New Power Sub-Station, augmentation and installation

of Distribution Transformers, R&M of Distribution Transformers, computerization

and DMS – SCADA in PESU have introduced against the total sanctioned amount

of Rs. 866.00 Cr. & revised Rs. 1066.58 Cr. for 12 circles out of which Rs. 594.33 Cr.

have already been utilized.

Further Ministry of Power GOI has accorded, in principle, approval for seven

towns of remaining four circles at a sanctioned cost of Rs. 129.50 Cr. This scheme will

be implemented during this period.

Appointment of franchisee in all 11 K.V. feeders in rural and urban areas.

10.2 TRANSPORT

Transport is an important element in the service sector of the economy. It is a

basic necessity, directly impacting on people‘s economic status. A sound transport

system, based on projected growth in population and activities has the potential to

accelerate the rate of the growth of GDP and contribute to the successful implementation

of poverty alleviation programmes. Today, railways and roads are the two main modes of

transportation.

2. The transport sector has always been neglected in Bihar. Despite being an

important corridor linking the north east states with the rest of the country, transport

facilities are not satisfactory. The length of national highways passing through Bihar is

approximately 3,500 km, and the length of state highways is about 13,000 km. The

number of motor vehicles per lakh population is a low of around 1,500. Inland water

transport which could be an important alternative to the rail and road transport systems

has been neglected till now. Since Bihar is one of the most backward states according to

quality of life standards, development in the transport sector will not only increase

GSDP, it will also positively affect the quality of life of people in the state.

3. Review of the Tenth Plan- Against the Tenth Plan revised outlay of Rs. 5.30

crore for transport, expenditure incurred during the Tenth Plan period was Rs.3.73 crore

(70.36 %).

4. Targets for the Eleventh Plan- On the basis of the projected GDP growth rate of

8.5% under the Eleventh Plan, the projected growth rate of the rail and road transport

sectors is 12.5% approximately. This will call for additional investment to get required

growth rate.

5. The success of poverty alleviation programmes depends largely on the ability to

ensure a good price for agricultural products, which entails ensuring that the surplus

product is sent at a reasonable cost to the market after bifurcation of the state. Various

means of transport and concomitant development of infrastructure are necessary to help

poorer people gain easy access to the modern market, to well-equipped hospitals, good

schools, bus stands and railway stations. Moreover, the transport sector has to be

developed in a manner that invites larger investment in transport facilities and

infrastructure. To arrive at a solution to problems at the micro-level, a composite plan is

needed to develop rural roads, small bridges, road culverts, etc. Good motor able roads

have to be developed to ease the transportation of goods and passengers, enable better

storage of goods and ensure better linkages between production centres and the market.

Development of these facilities through the transport sector is a big challenge, but it

needs to be done for the Eleventh Plan.

6. Based on a GDP growth rate of 8.5% and a given elasticity of demand for

transport (including railways and roads) against GDP (or state domestic product), the

transport sector ought to grow at 13% per annum during the Eleventh Plan. In 2001 and

2002 the rate of taxes on motor vehicles (fixed in 1994) was revised, but the amendments

introduced by the Bihar Finance Act, 2001 and Motor Vehicles Taxation (Amendment)

Act, 2002 were withdrawn by the Bihar Finance Act, 2006 and the taxation rate effective

in 1994 was restored.

7. There are 38 district transport offices in the state under the Transport

Department. Computerisation of the Transport Department was initiated in 1990-91, and

computers were installed at the headquarters of the Department and in five district

transport offices (Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, and Purnea). In 2000-01, a

scheme was sanctioned to install computers and network automation in offices in ten

districts (Bhabhua, Aurangabad, Samastipur, Siwan, Bettiah, Jehanabad, Madhubani,

Gopalganj, Sitamarhi and Katihar); the purchase of computers is under process. It is

proposed to computerise and network all districts. After amendment in the Central Motor

Vehicle Rules, 1989 the proposal is under consideration to issue driving licenses and

registration on smart card. Under this scheme window anti-surveyor tape Drive 8-Port 1

/0 Card, 3-Windows Clinker Local Networking (with modem and telephone connection ),

air conditioners, 2 KVA, online UPS, dot-matrix and ink-jet printer, generator set, site

preparation, application software and other material would be acquired for each district,

costing Rs 10 lakh per district. On this basis Rs. 5.00 crore is estimated to be spent on the

computerisation of headquarters and all the field offices.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs. 529.97.00

lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 50.00 lakh]

8. Because of the absence of weigh-bridges at required points, vehicles cannot be

checked for overloading in accordance with Sections 113 and 114 of the Motor Vehicles

Act, 1988, resulting in a rise in road accidents. In order to check this, weigh-bridges are

essential. In 2004-05, the installation of two weigh-bridges was sanctioned. Keeping this

in view it is proposed to establish weigh-bridges at six entry-points on major highways.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.104.93 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 00.00 lakh]

9. To raise the efficiency of field officers, especially in the enforcement machinery

(the mobile squad) in revenue collection, more vehicles are required. So far only seven

vehicles could be purchased.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.30.74 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs 00.00 lakh]

10. The Inland Waterways Authority has declared the River Ganga as National

Waterway No.1 from Allahabad to Haldia. Under a 90% CSS Scheme several ambitious

projects have been prepared to make important rivers navigable. During the Tenth Plan

the central government sanctioned a hydro graphic survey of the Gandak, Koshi and Sone

rivers, but several projects are still under central government consideration. To complete

these inland waterways projects, the state‘s share of 10% amounting to Rs. 100.00 lakh

would be required in the Eleventh Plan.

2 weigh-in-bridges have been sanctioned and 6 will be established at entry-points

on the important highway.

10.2.1 INFRASTRUCTURE-ROAD

The development of Infrastructure sector is the most important factor for

economic growth. No development is feasible without developing infrastructure. The

road-network opens up access to services and joins the productions centres to the

markets. The existing road network in Bihar is inadequate in comparison to National

average. At many places it is unable to handle high traffic density and has poor riding

quality. While Growth in Road Network in the country since 1990 is 99.6% the same

growth in case of Bihar is only 27.7%

Graph-1 Graph-2

2. The Growth in numbers of Motor Vehicles on all India basis has increased by

197% since 1990, the same for Bihar has increased by 239%. Thus it is evident that

Growth of Road Network in Bihar has not matched the increase in Traffic Volumes.

Graph-3 Graph-4

3. The Road Density of Bihar is the lowest in the country. In addition to this the

inadequate road network and high traffic density is the main cause of poor riding quality

of roads in Bihar.

Graph-5

4. Improvement in the road infrastructure is on a very high priority in the

development planning by Govt. of India as well as Govt. of Bihar. The present road

policy in India has two basic tenets viz. Accessibility and Mobility. Widening and

strengthening of the existing roads is necessary to take care of the increase in the vehicle

population. Improvement in the riding quality of roads is also a priority.

5. The State Government is committed to upgrade the road network in the State to

the best of national standards within the forthcoming 11th plan period. The Strategy

plan is to four lanes all the corridors which connect all the places which are important

from the administrative or economic or tourism point of view. The following corridors

are being four laned under the NHDP

5(ii). Gaya-Bodhgaya-Rajgir-Nalanda-Biharsharif is proposed to be taken up under

Buddhist Circuit Development Programme for which JBIC has shown interest for

financial assistance. The other three routes are proposed to be taken up on Public Private

Partnership (PPP) model for which financial institution like IL&FS and IDFC has

expressed their willingness. This work is proposed to be executed on BOT (Annuity)

basis. In addition to above three projects, the following projects are also proposed to be

taken under PPP model –

i. Road along River Ganga in Patna town.

ii. Bridge over River Ganga connecting Bakhtiarpur and Shahpur - Patori.

iii. Bridge over River Ganga connecting Ara and Chapra.

iv. Bihta-Sarmera-Mokama stretch of newly declared SH to be widened and

strengthened to 4-lane standard.

v. Ara-Mohania section of NH – 30.

vi. Reconstruction of superstructure of existing Mahatma Gandhi Setu.

6. IL&FS and IDFC will be the Project Management Consultant for the work to be

executed under PPP. For this IL&FS and IDFC will be paid Professional Fees and

Success Fee both of which will thereafter be charged to the project cost. The projects

mentioned above for execution under PPP has been tentatively estimated to cost about

Rs. 7000 Cr. Considering a construction period of three years starting fiscal 2008-09, a

viability gap grant of 40% and an annuity period of 20 years, the following table indicates

the provision of GoB share in 11th Five Year Plan for PPP projects. The Toll will start

Total 44803.47 36851.63 81655.10

It is apparent that length of State Highway is grossly inadequate. The

condition of existing SH also needs improvement in its riding quality. Most of the

State Highways were of single / intermediate lane. As these SHs connect all the

major district headquarters and the traffic on these has increased many-fold it is

necessary to upgrade the SHs to minimum two lane configuration. With a vision

to improve the condition of existing SHs, Govt. of Bihar has accordingly drawn

up a plan for this called as State Highways Development Programme (SHDP).

The SHDP is further sub divided in three parts as -

(a) State Highways Development Programme – I (SHDP-I)

Up gradation of 2025 Km section of of State Highways under SHDP-I has

been taken up under the Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana (RSVY) for which an

outlay of Rs. 3000 Cr. has been earmarked. Out of this outlay Rs. 577.69 Cr has

been spent during the 10th Plan period. The work of up gradation of SH was

entrusted to CPWD and IRCON. The entire 2025 Kms have been split into 42

packages by the Central Agencies and work has been awarded / started in 40

packages. Out of this, 37 packages will be completed by March 09. Work in the

remaining packages will be completed by June 09.

(b) State Highways Development Programme – II (SHDP-II)

In addition to the above State Highways, there were a number of other roads

which qualified to be upgraded as State Highways as they connect two or more districts.

The State Govt. declared 11 such roads (1054 Kms) as State Highways in financial year

06-07. These roads are proposed to be upgraded to 2-lane. The work of preparation of

Detailed Project Report (DPR) is complete. Govt. of Bihar have approached Asian

Development Bank to fund the upgradation of these roads. Out of the total length of 1054

Km, the stretch between BIHTA-SARMERA SH (112 Kms) has been earmarked to be

developed as 4-lane Highway on BOT basis (PPP - mode). The remaining 880 Km will

be funded by ADB loan. upgradation of 820.21 Km section length of state highway of

rest 9 districts will be funded by ADB. The administrative approval of Rs. 1654.68 Crore

has been accorded for this section length. ADB have agreed to fund the project. Asian

Development Bank under its MFF has consented to fund 90% of the cost i.e. about Rs.

1489.21Cr. Balance amount will be arranged by the State from its own resources. ADB

funding will be starting in 2008-09. Tender has been invited for this project. The work

will set out in 2008-09 & target year of completion is 2010-11.

(c) State Highways Development Programme – III (SHDP-III)

The State has also decided to declare an additional 723 KMs which are important

from economic / tourism / administrative point of view, as State Highways and develop

them to two lane configuration. The approximate cost of SHDP-III (723 Kms) will be Rs.

1888 Cr. Asian Development Bank under its MFF has consented to fund 90% of the cost

i.e. about Rs. 1699 Cr. Govt. of Bihar contribution would be 10% i.e. Rs. 188.80 Cr. The

work will set out in 2008-09 & target year of completion is 2010-11.

is now totally inadequate. State Govt. has decided to upgrade all 7714 Kms of Major

District Roads (MDRs) to Intermediate Lane standards during the 11th Plan period. The

funding for this will be sourced from State Plan/NABARD (RIDF) / Central Road Fund

(CRF)/ Border Area Development Programme (B.A.D.P.)/ Economic Importance

(E.I.)/Inter State Connectivity (I.S.C.) /12th Finance Commission (T.F.C.)

BRIDGES

9. A large number of perennial rivers and streams enter the State from Himalayan

region flowing from rolling terrain to the Gangetic plain of the State. Due to steep

gradient in Nepal the rivers hit the plains with very high velocity of flow thereby

resulting in inundation, erosion and breaches in embankment which leads to traffic

disruption in the road-network during flood season. This is one of the important causes

for slow pace of development in the State. Therefore bridges are of prime necessity for

providing all weather connectivity. Despite the large numbers of rivers and streams the

availability of bridges is woefully inadequate. The Ganges crosses the entire breadth of

the State (approx 400 Kms) but there are only four bridges on the Ganges. For speedy

development of the State there should be at least a bridge at an interval of every 50 Km

along the major rivers.

Improvement of Roads in Major Urban Cities

11. To meet the ever growing demand of traffic in all urban areas, improvement of

roads is the demand of the day. The growing traffic population in urban areas needs

immediate mitigation plan to improve capacity of the urban roads as well as improvement

in its riding quality. The traffic capacity can be increased by providing flyovers,

overpasses, ROBs over the area of congestion. Major urban cities in Bihar State have

been earmarked for improvement urban transportation facilities in phased manner. In

First Phase the State Capital, Patna has been selected. To overcome the traffic congestion

in Patna 6 flyovers at different locations costing about Rs. 330.00 Cr. are proposed. Out

of these, 2 flyovers have been sanctioned for Rs. 105.00 Cr. and 1 flyover (Kankarbagh)

costing Rs. 30.35 Cr. has been sanctioned by Cabinet. Three flyovers are under active

consideration for approval. All these flyovers are to be completed in 11th Five year plan

period.

Projected physical and financial targets are shown as below:

11(i). Roads of Patna City are being improved under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban

Renewal Mission (JNNURM), funds for which are being provided through Urban

Development Department, Govt. of Bihar. In Second Phase, the roads of Muzaffarpur &

Bhagalpur cities are proposed to be improved at an approx cost of Rs. 100 Cr. In Third

Phase, the roads of Darbhanga & Gaya cities are also proposed to be improved at an

approx cost of Rs. 100 Cr during this plan period.

Railway Over Bridges (ROBs):

12. Railway Crossings on highways are major hurdles for smooth movement of

traffic. These lead to delays which could be avoided by the provision of ROBs/RUBs

over railway crossings on major traffic carrying roads.

18. Some steps have been taken, and some further steps are to be taken.

Steps already taken up by GOB:

Two Bid System - Two bid system for procurement of works and

consultants have been adopted by the Department.

Standard Bidding Document - Standard Bidding Document has been

adopted adeserting the best industry practices.

Simplification of the Contractors Registration - New contractors

registration rules has been notified by the department simplifying the

earlier complex registration rules.

Quality Assurance – The quality control labs at the Headquarter level as

well as quality assurance units at the Division level have been upgraded

both qualitatively and capacity-wise to meet the QA needs of the projects

under execution. In addition to departmental quality control unit, Third

Party Quality Control Consultant has been appointed by the department

to ensure the quality of ongoing projects.

Online Monitoring – An online monitoring system has been designed

with the assistance of the Bihar Centre of the National Informatics Centre

for real-time monitoring of all projects. The required computerization for

implementation of the monitoring system is already underway.

GIS - A GIS based road information management system is being

prepared for effective monitoring of State roads.

Computerisation - Computerisation and Networking of field offices of

Road Construction Department has been started. This includes a Data

Centre at Headquarter.

Equipment Bank- The Govt. is setting up Equipment Bank at different

places in the State to overcome the problems faced by the Contractors.

The Deptt. has provided its own land at reasonable rent to set up the

Equipment. As on date constructional equipments have been mobilised at

Patna. For other places the process for setting up of equipment bank is

underway.

E-Tendering – Department has decided to introduce procurement through

e-Tendering. Expressions of Interests have been invited and selections of

vendors are in process.

Maintenance Policy – A comprehensive policy for proper maintenance of

roads in the State is being drawn up by the Deptt. It is proposed to move

away from the present system of pot/patch/renewal contract to a

maintenance contract for four or fiver years, with output standards fixed in

terms of riding quality and Roughness Index.

A Non-lapsable Road Development Fund - Creation of a non-lapsable

fund RDF for development of roads is under consideration. The provision

for road development as well as tolls/levies collected from the transport

sector will flow into the Fund. RDF will in leveraging funds for the road

projects.

Institutional Reforms of the Department - As a quantum jump in the

Plan Outlay in this plan period has taken place requiring thereby

overhauling of the department. The department has taken initiative to

Dispute Resolution – The current practice of arbitration is saddled with

procedural delays in addition to being prone to manipulation by vested

interests. Given that the Department is going in for large-scale packages

and the works are to be executed by national level implementing agencies,

it is being considered to address the issue of dispute resolution through a

Tribunal. This tribunal would be headed by a retired senior Govt. Officer

with impeccable track record and proven integrity. The tribunal would

also have a team of retired engineers with unblemished professional record

to take care of the technical aspects of dispute resolution.

Road and Highway Development Authority- Essential steps has been

taken to set up Road and Highway Development Authority.

Material Bank- The Govt. is also setting up Material Bank at different

places in the State to overcome the problems faced by the Contractors in

getting the materials of desired specification. The Deptt. will act as a

2. Emphasis will be given to completing on-going schemes begun during the course

of the Tenth Plan. Long-standing schemes of local importance will be given priority

under the MLA/MLC Programme. Execution of projects under Pradhan Mantri Gram

Sadak Yojana will be vigorously pursued.

Brief Description of Schemes

3. RIDF Scheme: Apart from the amount allocated by the central and state

governments, the Department intends to obtain loans under NABARD's RIDF scheme for

the construction of roads and bridges. Under this scheme, kuchha or pucca roads or roads

under the Rural Works Department which are less than 3.75 metres wide and not

sanctioned under PMGSY or any other schemes, are taken for upgradation or

strengthening. These roads connect agricultural centres and markets with the main urban

markets for the transportation of agricultural produce. Schemes worth up to Rs. 900.00

crore can be executed under NABARD's RIDF loan scheme. Under RIDF VIII, a loan of

Rs.1,015.76 lakh had been sanctioned by NABARD for the construction of three bridges

in Gaya district and Rs.182.00 lakh has been obtained as a mobilisation advance. In

2006-07, against the budget provision of Rs. 200.00 crore, schemes worth Rs. 402.67

Works Department, to provide connectivity to all habitations of Bihar State having

population 500-999, from main roads. After selection of roads, work has been

started to provide connectivity to 6203 villages, identified as having population 500-999.

Approx. Rs.2600 crore will be required for construction of these roads.

12.2 To provide connectivity from main roads to 6401 villages, identified as having

population up to 500, about 5548 km length of road are required to be constructed.

Approx. Rs.2200 crore will be required for construction of these roads.

12.3 Information have been asked from all Works Division regarding probable

expenditure for construction and maintenance of those roads which are not under

administrative control of any department. Approx. Rs.2000 crore is required for

construction of these roads.

13. MLA/MLC Local Area Development Schemes: Schemes

worth Rs. 1.00 crore are sanctioned on the recommendation of the

headquarters and panchayats have to be constructed, improved and strengthened to

promote overall development. Based on the recommendations of the concerned district

magistrates, roads and bridges connecting these villages are taken up under this scheme.

In 2007-08, Rs.100.00 crore has been allocated against this programme.

15. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana: Village connectivity is being provided

under the fully centrally sponsored scheme, the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna

(PMGSY), now one of the components of the Bharat Nirman Yojana. Under the PMGSY

all unconnected habitation (in the plains) with populations over 1000 will be given all-

weather road connectivity in a time-bound manner. The scheme earlier proposed

connectivity to all habitations with populations over 1,000 by the end of 2003, but the

deadline has been extended to 2009. All programmes relating to village roads (VRs) and

other district roads (ODRs) are looked after by the Rural Works Department with the help

of a registered agency, the Bihar Rural Road Development Agency (BRRDA).

In its first phase (in 2000-01) the PMGSY constructed 299 roads with a total

length of about 860 km to provide all-weather connectivity to 629 habitations, at a total

allocation of Rs.149.90 crore. Total expenditure till June 2007 has been Rs.124.76 crore

leading to the completion of 231 roads (with a total length of about 634.135 km). Under

the PMGSY Phase II (2001-03), Rs.302.98 crore was sanctioned for 670 roads with a

total length of about 1,540 km to provide all-weather connectivity to 1,236 habitations,

against which Rs.50 crore was released in December 2003, Rs. 60 crore in May 2005 and

Rs. 66.92 crore in October 2006.

It leads to the completion of 507 roads covering a total length of about 1,063.80 km. To

expedite the work of PMGSY in the state, work under Phase II and beyond will be

directly implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development through five central

government agencies: NBCC, NPCC, CPWD, NHPC and IRCON. A MoU was signed to

this effect on August 31, 2004. A total of Rs. 2,528.82 crore for the construction of 6,938

km roads have been cleared by the Ministry of Rural Development leading to the

completion of 1,348.32 km. The Department has also begun upgradation of through

routes from the State Plan. In 2006-07, 3,954 km of roads were taken up at a total cost of

Rs. 1,072.43 crore. Thus the present target under Bharat Nirman Yojana is as follows:

Achieving these ambitious connectivity targets by 2009 calls for special effort and

planning. Since work progress by central agencies has not been adequate to achieve the

targets, the state may not be able to receive full benefits and funds for the scheme.

Therefore the Department has decided to take up the remaining work itself. For this it has

outsourced the preparation of DPRs and process management and with the target of

completing the remaining work under the Bharat Nirman Yojana by March 2009, work

has begun according to the following schedule:

In addition, bridges missing from the construction and upgradation proposals have to be

built, for which funds will be required from the Ministry of Rural Development or the

state government as per clause 8.5 (V) of the PMGSY guidelines. So far, NEAs have

estimated an approximate requirement of Rs. 238 crore.

Bridges (more than 25 m long) to be Constructed

on PMGSY Roads by Central Agencies

For the remaining work, costs are being ascertained. The Department is giving top

priority to quality control and timely completion of the work. Contract management and

construction supervision of work is being outsourced. For close supervision and

monitoring, the Department is procuring 72 divisions with their entire technical structure

from other departments. The core network is being updated, e-tendering is being

introduced and on-line monitoring systems have been introduced in PMGSY and are

being extended to other schemes. Apart from these, steps for training and capacity

enhancement of contractors have been taken.

10.3 CIVIL AVIATION

The Civil Aviation Department was established in 1990 for accelerating the pace

of construction and expansion of airports, and development of runways, etc., at important

places, provision of aviation training facilities, and acquisition and maintenance of

aircraft. The main objectives of the Department are to facilitate VIP access to remote

places, and the purchase of equipment, spare parts, accessories, and so on, for the

maintenance of existing aircraft. Development of air transport will be accelerated during

the Eleventh Plan period, which will increase the need for training and education

facilities, construction or extension or development of runways, aprons, etc., at important

places, and the acquisition of suitable aircraft.

2. The Bihar Flying Institute is one of the oldest organisations for pilot training

facilities. In the past decades, with the rapid growth of air transport and air services for

companies like Indian Airlines, Air India, state aviation and others, the construction of air

strips, boundary walls and approach-roads along with purchase of aircraft had been

initiated during the Ninth Plan. Due to the non-availability of funds, the objectives of the

Tenth Plan were not substantially different, as previous programmes had only partially

been achieved. The Bihar Flying Institute did not have required trainer aircraft to meet

flying training requirements of trainee pilots. Thus, between 2002-07, about 3,671 flying

hours could be achieved and (with financial assistance to trainees to complete their flying

hours at other flying clubs), 26 private pilot licenses, 18 commercial pilot licenses and 5

AFIR(A) and one FIR (A) holders were issued. However, new aircraft were purchased

for training during 1998-99 and a training programme has been in place since the end of

the Ninth Plan. The services of state government aeroplanes and helicopters under the

Civil Aviation Department have been used in emergencies related to law and order,

floods, fires, and other exigencies. After the bifurcation of Bihar, one aeroplane (a five-

seater with crew) was allotted to Jharkhand and the remaining three (of which one is

new) are with the Civil Aviation Department in Bihar.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for Eleventh Plan

3. During 2005-06 an advance of Rs.14,56,96,000 was sanctioned for the purchase

for new aircraft. During 2002-07 only about Rs. 1,732.67 lakh was utilised in the civil

aviation sector against the total original approved outlay of Rs.1,800.00 lakh for the

Tenth Plan. Against the Tenth Plan revised outlay of Rs. 2.00 crore, expenditure incurred

in the plan period worked out to Rs.2.00 crore (100 %).

4. To enable flying activities by the Department in all-weather conditions, the

construction, extension and development of important aerodromes at Betiah, Madhubani,

Samastipur, Katihar, Begusarai, Bhabhua, Rajgir, Munger and Sitamarhi will be

completed during the Eleventh Plan.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs.1,100.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 1,000.00 lakh]

5. Necessary equipments, tools, accessories and immediately required spare parts

will be purchased for the newly acquired aircraft.

Urban Development and Housing

Introduction

Cities are important vehicles for social and economic transformation. Sustainable

transformation of our cities requires that local governments become firmly established as

an independent tier of government in their own right, accountable to local citizens. The

73rd and 74th constitutional amendments are the first constitutional recognition of local

governments. These, coupled with new programme initiatives undertaken by the central

government, have given state governments a unique opportunity to improve the quality of

urban governance, complete the democratic decentralisation process, improve the

delivery of basic services, reduce urban poverty and to give a boost to overall economic

development in the state.

2. Present Condition

The problems of cities and urban development in Bihar are complex, and have

been exacerbated by years of neglect and indifference and - to an extent - an anti-urban

bias. Bihar is ranked almost at the bottom in almost every indicator for assessing urban

performance. The state is only 10.5% urban (2001) (as against the national average of

27.78%), just a notch above Himachal Pradesh (9.8%) which is the least urbanised state

in the country. Furthermore, the urban population is concentrated in only a few districts

like Patna, Nalanda, Munger and Bhagalpur, while rest of the state shows little signs of

so-called ‗urbanisation‘. More important is the fact that during 1991-2001 the rate of

urban population growth was negative (-2.68% annually). While this may be attributed to

the creation of Jharkhand, which took several important urban centres away from Bihar,

the fact is that even during the previous decade of 1981-91, annual urban population

growth rate in the state was 2.64% compared to 3.09% for the country as a whole.

Clearly, the process of development in the state, particularly de-industrialisation, has

negatively impacted cities and towns. The incidence of poverty in the urban areas, i.e.,

the proportion of urban poor to the total urban population, continues to be high (33%

against the national average of 23.62%) with no change between 1993-94 and 2004-05.

In terms of the availability of basic services such as tap water, toilet facilities, drainage

and garbage collection, the performance and track record of local bodies is very poor. Per

capita expenditure on core municipal services is only Rs. 104, against, say, Rs. 1,750 in

Maharashtra. Urban institutions and, in particular, urban local bodies (ULBs), are in a

state of stagnation and neglect. On the economic front, non-primary sector GSDP

accounts for 63-64% of the total GSDP which is higher than the national average, and has

grown at 6.2% (at 1993-94 prices) over the 1993-94 to 2004-05 period. Urban literacy is

only 64.53% as against the national average of 70.1%.

Urban Bihar thus presents a state of stagnation and gross under-development. It

represents a case of low economic growth, low urbanisation, high urban poverty, poor

delivery of urban services, and weak urban institutions, all trapped in a highly complex

situation. Breaking this web of underdevelopment will be a major challenge Bihar will

need to address in the Eleventh Plan.

3. Strategies for Raising Urban Growth-

Urbanisation and economic growth move in tandem. Low levels of urbanisation in

the state combined with equally depressed urban population growth and high poverty

levels are a manifestations of stagnant economic growth in the 1990s and earlier.

Breaking this logjam of low growth and urbanisation is possible only with economic

growth.

Considering that Bihar's cities and towns have suffered long years of neglect and

that urban centres in more progressive and forward-looking states are competing for

access to fast-changing domestic and international economies, a ‗big-push‘ approach will

be needed. Such an approach will involve, in the medium term, a combination of two

strategies: First, is a rigorous application of recent central government initiatives for

augmenting and upgrading infrastructural services, creating the necessary conditions for

attracting investment, strengthening ULBs through reform of property taxes and user

charges, and ensuring that services reach the urban poor. The scope and potential of these

central government initiatives are large enough to effectively arrest the stagnancy in

cities and towns, and to place them on a growth trajectory. The urban sector in Bihar (as

in many other states) is highly constrained by laws and procedures that do not enable it to

attract investment, and to be responsive, accountable and financially self-sustaining. The

Government of Bihar is in the initial stages of accessing funds available through various

government missions and programmes, and the strategy would be undertake interlinked

reforms, so that synergies form part of the process.

The second complementary strategy would be to plan, develop and regulate

‗urban spaces‘, with a focus on renewal and redevelopment of derelict areas, through a

mix of instruments: changing the provisions in existing rent control legislations,

modifying FSI, transferring development rights, land pooling, and other fiscal incentives

(such as exemption from property taxes for a fixed duration, etc.). Cities and towns in

Bihar have grown in a haphazard manner, with no regulation or control. Regulation of

new construction is necessary so that future development is in sync with the overall

objectives of urban development.

It is noteworthy, however, that a few positive developments have recently taken

place in the state. Municipal elections have successfully been conducted, so that all

municipal bodies currently have elected representatives. Further, over 60 percent of the

elected representatives are women. Bihar is among the first states to have enacted

municipal legislation, the Bihar Municipal Act, 2007. Other reforms that have been

completed include the enactment of the Bihar Apartment Act, Repeal of Urban Land

Ceiling and Regulation Act, computerisation of registration of land and property, the

introduction of the accrual-based, double-entry accounting system, revision of the Bihar

building by-laws, and revision of by-laws to make water harvesting compulsory. Stamp

duty has been reduced from 18% to 10%, and the amendment to the Bihar Rent Control

Act is under consideration. Training and orientation have been taken up on a large scale

for officials and non-officials, managerial and technical support is being given to

municipal corporations, revisions in holding tax and collection drives have been initiated

and master plans and GIS maps are being developed for all the major cities and towns. In

fact, its late entry into the process has enabled Bihar to benefit from the experiences of

other states.

4. The Way Forward

Bihar has now to concentrate on the following thrust areas to achieve the Eleventh

Plan objective of converting its towns and cities into clean, vibrant and efficiently

functioning urban areas.

A. Strengthening the Human Resource

An essential prerequisite to other reforms is to build a municipal cadre comprising

well-trained and well-oriented employees to efficiently discharge the functions assigned

to them. Human resource development will receive significant emphasis during the

Eleventh Plan period. Municipal bodies will also be given managerial and technical

support (in phases) to enable them to implement the various schemes and handle funds

allotted under central and state government schemes.

A core team of managers, including business, financial and accounts managers,

will be provided to municipal bodies, starting with the municipal corporations, during the

plan period.

B. e-Governance

Municipal bodies in the state have initiated the computerisation process.

However, they need help in developing systems for data storage, financial management,

monitoring, issuing birth and death certificates and providing other on-line information

and services to the public.

C. Improving Resource Base

Municipal bodies have started a drive for the revision of holding tax and speeding

up collection efforts. Various other measures to expand the resource base need to be

examined, such as out-sourcing the collection of holding tax, other possible sources of

funds, transfer of various settlements from the Revenue Department, computerisation of

data, and the utilization of grants from the state government and State Finance

Commission. The state government needs to look closely at the devolution of funds to

municipal bodies to ensure their viability as independent entities.

D. Urban Planning

Urban planning is much neglected in the state. With the enactment of the Bihar

Municipal Act, 2007, regional development authorities have been merged with the

municipal corporations. A resource centre with management support needs to be set up in

every municipal corporation to take care of master plans and GIS maps being developed.

A dedicated cadre of 'urban planners' also needs to be developed. An independent, non-

government urban planning resource centre is proposed to be set up in the state to help

plan the future of its cities.

E. Clean Cities

The condition of solid waste management, sewerage and drainage is deplorable in

all the towns across Bihar. Detailed project reports with intersectoral linkages need to be

prepared quickly.

F. Public-Private Participation

As ULBs in Bihar are woefully short of both human and technical resources, they

will need to opt for public-private participatory models. An enabling environment needs

to be created to attract private investors, and the state government has already begun the

process.

G. Urban Reform

Although the state government has initiated some reforms, these need to be

speeded up and completed by the end of the first year of the Eleventh Plan.

H. Reducing Urban Poverty

Most of the focus has been on improving the regulatory functions of ULBs and

on schemes to improve the delivery of services, with little attention being given to people

who reside in the urban areas. Bihar has one of the highest levels of urban poverty. One

positive step is that ULBs in Bihar have almost completed their survey of urban poor.

Apart from identification of the poor, what is needed is that every ULB have a wing

dedicated to the development of slums and provision of basic services through schemes

like BSUP, IHSDP and SGSSRY. Interventions, specially targeting poor women and

children of urban households, destitute and disabled people, and street children, need to

be taken up with NGO participation. Interventions for accelerating economic growth of

cities need to be closely looked at. Housing Plan of urban poor is needed to be connected

with employment creation and training.

I. Education

Education, especially primary education in urban areas has started receiving

attention, with ULBs being given the power to appoint teachers. However, ULBs need to

be put fully in charge of primary and secondary education as early as possible after

completing the process of empowerment.

J. Health and Nutrition

ULBs have shown little interest in the health and nutritional status of urban

residents. Immunisation and maternal and child healthcare are grossly neglected areas,

with the poorest people in urban areas being most vulnerable. All ULBs will be

strengthened to monitor the health and nutritional status of the people, especially in the

BPL category.

K. Employment

The strength of an urban economy depends on the vibrancy of its informal sector.

ULBs and state governments will look at problems faced and needs of various

stakeholders, facilitate the availability of free business space and easy loans, provide

freedom from exploitation and harassment, etc. NGO participation will be very important

in this area.

L. Housing

Housing is also a much-neglected area. The Bihar State Housing Board needs to

be strengthened to achieve its objective of providing affordable housing to urban

residents, especially those in the lower income category. The Board will be reconstituted

and revived, possibly through an appropriate PPP model.

M. Urban Transportation

Due to the semi urban nature of the towns and cities in Bihar, urban transportation

is not currently a priority subject. However keeping in view the future transportation

needs of cities like Patna and Gaya due to influx of population from other areas of the

State there is urgent need to plan for mass rapid transport system for these towns. During

the 11th

plan a transportation system will be decided and put in place for the cities of

Patna and Gaya. Based on the experience of these two cities transportation planning will

be taken up for the other corporations in the State of Bihar. Transportation system will be

taken up on Public Prtivate Partnership (PPP) wherein State Government may not be

required to make major investment.

5. Review of Tenth Plan and Target for Eleventh Plan

In the Tenth Plan period revised outlay for Urban Development Department was

Rs. 73847.62 lakhs against which the financial achievement was Rs. 74414.59 lakhs.

Target for 11th Five Year Plan is Rs. 450871.13 lakhs.

5.1. Details of Schemes proposed for Eleventh Plan period-

5.2.1. Water Supply: - Regular supply of safe drinking water is the crying need of the

people in the urban areas of Bihar. The existing piped water supply systems are very old

and dilapidated, or are grossly inadequate to meet the requirements of the towns as they

have grown substantially since they were originally constructed. The spread of water

borne diseases, especially during the monsoon season, is common because the old water

supply pipes are in a worn out condition and they get contaminated by the parallel

running drainage system. Therefore, there is the urgent need to augment the existing

sources as well as the replacement of the distribution systems. The following Municipal

Corporations/Nagar Parishad/Nagar Panchayats are proposed to be covered under the

scheme.

(i) Municipal Corporations-Patna, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, Gaya,

Muzaffarpur, Biharsharif and Arah.

(ii) Nagar Parishads-Chapra, Motihari, Hazipur, Katihar, Danapur, Sasaram,

Dehri, Siwan, Saharsa, Purnea and Munger.

(iii) Nagar Panchayats- schemes will be selected after assessing the status of

water supply system in the other towns.

5.2.2. There are some towns in the state where there is no pipe water supply system as

yet. The following towns are proposed to be taken up namely Dhigawara, Sugauli,

Jamalpur, Narkatiaganj, Jogbani, Kasva, Areraj, Bagha, Murliganj, Ghoghardiha and

Gogari Jamalpur.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan (2007-12) Rs. 25000.00 lakhs]

[Outlay for Annual Plan (2007-08) Rs. 1230.00 lakhs]

5.3. Sanitation & cleanliness Programme

5.3.1. Sanitation: - Sanitation is a critical area which needs to be taken up on priority.

Schemes under sanitation cover construction of drains, solid waste management and

conversion and construction of dry latrines. Almost all towns of Bihar are facing the

problem of water logging. The existing drainage system is insufficient to cater to the

needs of the present level of population. Therefore, it is proposed to augment the existing

drainage system and construct new drains. This scheme has been taken up on priority in

the following towns:-

(i) Municipal Corporations- Patna, Bhagalpur, Darbhanga, Gaya,

Muzaffarpur, Biharsharif and Arah.

(ii) Nagar Parishads- Chapra, Motihari, Hazipur, Katihar, Danapur, Sasaram,

Dehri, Siwan, Saharsa, Purnea, Bettia and Munger.

(iii) Nagar Panchayats- schemes of other class of towns will be selected after

assessing the position of water logging.

The augmentation of drainage system of Patna is on top priority.

5.3.2. Manual Scavenging- The State Government is committed to eradicate manual

scavenging from the state. In the National Formulation Plan formulated by the

Government of India a number of 200230 dry latrines are to be converted to wet latrines

in the State of Bihar. Therefore, the State Government is giving top priority for ending

this pernicious practice and for the conversion of dry latrines. The scheme is targeted to

be complete in the 1st year of the 11th

Five Year Plan. The identification, release and

rehabilitation of manual scavengers will be under taken with the help of credible NGOs

on priority basis. It is also proposed to construct public toilets according to local needs.

5.5.3. Swarna Jayanti Sahri Rojagar Yojna (SJSRY):- This scheme aims at

generation of self employment as well as wage employment in the urban area. The

Government of India provides 75% funds for the project cost while the State Government

contributes 25% as state's matching share. This scheme is being implemented for persons

living below the poverty line (BPL). During the Financial Year 2006-07 provision was

made for a sum of Rs. 280 lakh.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan 2007-12 Rs. 5000.00 lakhs]

Industry and Services

12.1 Industry

With the bifurcation of the state most of the industries and

related infrastructure have gone to Jharkhand. During the Tenth

Plan period the manufacturing sector grew at only 0.38%,

compared to the national average of 7.8%. Bihar‘s economy

underperformed during the Tenth Plan, and industry had lagged,

mainly because of poor infrastructure, inadequate finance and

credit facilities, non-availability of power, and the lack of

entrepreneurship.

2. The Eleventh Plan therefore will have to envisage a level of

development that will provide people with opportunities that will

enable them to reach optimal levels of prosperity. To achieve the

desired level of development, the state will have to take great

initiatives to create opportunities through a balanced and integrated

growth of industries based on agriculture, handlooms, handicraft

and services. Such economic growth will provide two main result:-

(1) create employment opportunities for people.

(2) generate the additional resources the government needs to

invest in augmenting the state‘s social infrastructure.

The national goal is to raise the rate of growth of the

industrial sector to 10% and manufacturing growth to 12%. To

achieve the national industrial growth rate, Bihar has to accelerate

its industrial growth to at least 15%.

Potential of the State’s Economy in Industry:-

3. There is no denying that Bihar possesses comparative

advantages in many areas. It has as large work force, comprising

scientists and engineers, and the potential to become a major

manufacturing centre in the country. There is also tremendous

potential for value addition in the food-processing sector. Agro-

based initiatives such as jute, bamboo, sugar, ethanol and food-

processing units and units based on aromatic and medicinal plants

could become the major focus of industrial development. Another

important area with good employment and growth potential is the

handloom and sericulture sector with its large numbers of

traditional centers and skilled weavers.

4. Even though the percentage of achievement has been above

90% (except for 2004-05), the quantity of annual funds for

the industry sector had been so low that there has been no

achievement in terms of growth in infrastructure, training or other

inputs. This trend has been reversed since 2006-07, when there was

a quantum jump in total expenditure, registering a growth rate of

nearly 27 times. Sectors such as handlooms, sericulture,

handicrafts, food processing, leather, etc., require a large infusion

of public investment to generate employment and qualitatively

improve skills to increase the earning capacity of workers. It would

also require strengthening existing training institutes and setting up

higher-level technical institutes which over a period of time would

equip peoples to seek livelihood opportunities as far as possible within the state and deter

them from migrating to other places.

Strategy for the Eleventh Plan

5. Given that the micro- and small-enterprises (MSE) sector has the second largest

share of employment after agriculture in the country, the state government has taken

various steps to develop the sector to generate the maximum possible employment.

District Industries Centres (DICs) have been established in 38 districts to promote

industry. The DICs coordinate the scheme through which the PMRY promotes self-

employment by giving loans up to Rs. 2.00 lakh through nationalised banks to

unemployed youth to set up small-scale industries.

5.1 Through the registration of SSIs, tiny and artisan units, 7,651 more jobs were

created in 2006-07.

5.2 One of the focuses is to accelerate the growth of agro- and rural industries and

increase the employment of women. There is a proposal to provide jobs to computer-

literate women.

5.3 Agro-food processing, sericulture and other village enterprises have also been given

incentives to check migration from rural areas.

5.4 To liberate micro and small enterprises from the licencing raj, a forum called

Udyog Mitra has been set up to help entrepreneurs to discuss their problems with

decision makers, so as to facilitate implementation of their projects. The Single Window

Clearance Act 2006 has also been notified.

5.5 A cluster approach will be needed to increase viability; capacity-building,

infrastructure and support services will also be required for the cluster-based projects

initiated in this sector in a few districts of the state. The state government has also begun

taking steps to fill the gap in infrastructure, credit, design and marketing, and one of the

routes it is trying to develop is public-private partnerships. Under this model e-

governance has been started and IL&FS is assisting the state government as coordinator.

6. District Industries Centre Plan (Establishment)

The District Industries Centre (DIC) is the implementing agency to promote

industry at the district level. DICs were created under a centrally sponsored scheme in

1978, and since 1994-95 this scheme is being implemented under the state plan. DICs are

committed to the establishment of new micro, small, medium and artisan units in addition

to implementing the centrally sponsored PMRY and other schemes. The physical

Chapter 13

Environment and Forest

13.1 Environmental sustainability is important for the well being of human beings. The

neglect of environmental considerations such as wasteful use of water and deforestation

may lead to adverse environmental effects very quickly. The environmental strategy

should be sensitive to these concerns and we should ensure that these threats and

tradeoffs should be appropriately evaluated and balanced. We must ensure rapid

economic growth with environmental friendly policies. Environment forms the overall

canvas in which forests occupy an important place. However, the environmental impact

of various developmental activities has to be seen at a macro-level and steps for

prevention and mitigation of adverse environmental impacts have to be anticipated and

initiated.

1. Review of Tenth Plan and Target for Eleventh Plan.

1.1 In the Tenth Plan, the revised outlay for Forest Department was Rs

6484.83 lakh against which financial achievement has been Rs 6038.26 lakh. The main

thrust during the plan period was rehabilitation of degraded forest through plantations.

However, investment in the development and protection of natural forests continued to be

neglected. Integrated Forest Protection Scheme which was implemented from 2004-05

onwards has brought some investment in strengthening of infrastructure and

consolidation of forest boundaries. It is expected that this will continue during the 11th

Plan period also.

1.2 The Environment Sector did not get any inputs during the 10th five year plan.

Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB), the Nodal agency for monitoring the

environmental parameters, was completely dependent on its own resources for its

functioning as the state government did not provide any financial or material support

during the plan period. The BSPCB needs support during the 11th five year plan if it has

to carry out its mandate effectively.

2. Goals and strategy for the 11th Five Year Plan:

2.1. Environmental Issues

The state is embarking on an ambitious development agenda during the 11th Plan period.

Every development activity has environmental fallouts. It is necessary to identify the

issues arising from the proposed projects and take necessary steps to minimise any

adverse impact on the environment.

2.1.1 Energy, Environment and Food Security:

2.1.1.1.The economy of the state is based on agriculture. The state proposes to give a

major thrust to industrial development and this will be mostly based on agricultural

inputs. The major thrust area will be on sugarcane based industries. Sugar and ancillary

industries discharge considerable quantity of effluents which have the potential to pollute

water bodies and land. Treatment and recycling of these effluents has to be ensured for

ensuring safe drinking water for the people. Currently, the BSPCB does not have the

necessary infrastructure to monitor the quality of the effluents likely to be produced by

the stepping up of these industrial activities. The BSPCB needs to be strengthened to

meet the anticipated challenges.

2.1.1.2 . The state ranks nearly at the bottom in matter of per capita power generation and

consumption in the country. The per capita power consumption is 60 units annually in the

state in 2005 against the national average of 612 units.

2.1.1.3 Only 20200 of the 45103 villages in the state are electrified. As a result most of

the villages are dependent on other sources of energy for their daily needs. The current

pattern of energy consumption in the state is one of the major causes of environmental

pollution in the state. In rural areas, fuel wood and agricultural waste is the main source

of energy for cooking. Burning of these fuels is not only inefficient use of energy but also

a major cause of air pollution and a health hazard.

2.1.1.4. Efforts are necessary to harness the use of biomass and agro-wastes in a

more efficient manner so that the adverse environmental impact of the present energy

consumption pattern is mitigated. This needs to be augmented by use of non-conventional

energy sources like bio-fuels, solar energy and mini hydel power stations.

2.1.1.5. Attempts have been made in the past to make better utilisation of agro-

waste and cow dung as fuel in rural areas. Gobar gas plants and improved chulhas were

promoted on a large scale. However, the desired results have not been achieved due to

various factors. Insufficient technology dissemination at the village level did not allow

optimum use due to lack of proper maintenance. Improved chulhas were supplied to the

villagers but these also did not produce the desired results as the villagers were not

properly sensitised regarding its benefits.

2.1.1.6. In the long term, the rural population needs to be weaned away from use

of the current system of bio-mass utilisation as fuel by providing alternative means. As

ensuring availability of sufficient energy will take some time to materialise it is

necessary, in the short term, to revisit the issue of gobar gas and improved chulhas.

Studies will be carried out to identify the causes for the limited success of these ventures

in the past and identify remedies. Linkages with the local technical institutes should be

established to carry out these studies. Biomass can be utilised more efficiently if it is

gasified. Studies will be carried out to study possibilities of establishing small

gasification plants in rural areas having sufficient surplus biomass. Use of Ethanol/ bio-

diesel as a substitute for Petroleum products was mooted as a solution for reducing

emissions from burning fossil fuels which was leading to build up of green house gases.

However, it is now transpiring that production of bio-diesel from agricultural produce has

very wide ramifications on food security and needs to be approached with caution.

Ideally produce from wastelands should be used for production of bio-diesel. However,

with its dense population availability of wasteland for cultivation of these plants is very

limited.

2.1.2. Increasing environmental awareness among school children

The state government has started the Chatra Vrikshropan Yojana for increasing

awareness about tree plantation among adolescent children. Students of 8th, 9th, 10th

standards who plant a tree and protect it for three years will be paid 100 Rupees each for

every year of survival. 1.26 lakh students participated in the program in 2006-07 and 3

lakh more students have been involved in the programme during 2007-08. This program

is in addition to the National Green Corps programme funded by the Central

Government. So far 7900 upper primary and high school children in all the 38 districts

are participating in the programme. This entails an expenditure of approximately 200

lakh rupees annually.

2.1.3. Improving Air Quality

The ambient air quality is being monitored by the Bihar State Pollution Control Board

(BSPCB) at two points in Patna only. This is grossly inadequate and it is proposed to start

automatic real time monitoring stations for Ambient Air Quality at all the divisional

headquarters. The data collected from these monitoring stations will be used to devise

methods for achieving WHO standards of air quality in these cities.

2.1.4. Water Quality

The state is blessed with abundance of water in the form of a large number of rivers

flowing through the state. Most of the rivers are highly polluted as raw sewage is

discharged directly into these rivers. Treatment of sewage and industrial effluents will be

built into urban and industrial development planning. With the anticipated increase of

industrial units, the necessity for more stringent monitoring of water quality need to be

put in place. Arsenic, Fluoride, Nitrate and Iron contamination is assuming serious

proportions in some parts of the state. The 36 stations currently functioning in the state

for monitoring ground and surface water are inadequate and it is proposed to increase this

to 60. This is necessary to ensure safe drinking water for the people, particularly, for

those living in areas where chemical contamination has been detected.

2.1.5. Solid Waste Management

The BSPCB will coordinate with Municipal Corporations, Nagar Parishads, Nagar

Panchayats and the respective departments of the state government to ensure that the

facilities for treatment and disposal of solid waste are developed. Cities and towns will be

encouraged to evolve systems to segregate waste at the point of origin with the

participation of the citizens. Urban local bodies will be encouraged to develop low cost

community based sanitation facilities for the under-privileged that will contribute to more

efficient management of waste. Good progress has been made in safe disposal of medical

waste in Patna with the installation of incinerators. This needs to be extended to other

towns for effective management of biomedical waste in the state. The BSPCB will be

equipped to monitor the effects the measures undertaken by the urban local bodies for

this purpose. This will need strengthening of the Board with necessary infrastructure and

additional man power.

2.1.6. Spatial Environmental Planning

BSPCB will prepare Zoning Atlas for sitting of industries, District Environmental Atlas

and guidelines for sitting of industries and preparing Environmental Atlas for the state.

2.1.7. External funding

The Government of Bihar has sought assistance from the World Bank to implement a

series of policies aiming to foster economic growth and reduce poverty. As per the

requirements of World Bank, a Bihar Environmental Analysis is to be prepared to study

the environmental effects, both positive and negative, of the interventions for

development. The study would identify and address the existing institutional gaps that

may hinder the government‘s capacity to anticipate and respond to the potential

environmental effects of policy reforms. The United Nations Development Programme

(UNDP) has sponsored a study to develop Project Design Development under Clean

Development Mechanism (CDM). The programme includes institutional strengthening of

the BSPCB.

2.2. Forest

2.2.1. The "State of the Forests Report, 2005" released by the Forest Survey of India has

estimated the forest cover as 5579 sq Km (5.92%) and tree cover as 2522 sq.Km (2.68%)

adding up to a total of 8101 sq Km (8.60%). Of the 5579 sq km having forest cover 2594

sq Km is classified as 'open forest" and "scrub forest'. The first priority will be improve

the quality of these forest to the category of ‗dense forests‘ as defined by the Forest

Survey of India.

2.2.2. Rehabilitation and enrichment of these forests (RDF) will be done through the

Joint Forest Management mechanism with the assistance of the Village Forest

Management and Protection Committees. Currently 615 VFMPCs have been formed and

it is proposed to double this number during the plan period. While raising these

plantations, the needs of the local people will be kept in view and monoculture

plantations are discouraged and indigenous species are being used for plantation.

2.2.3. This will not only help in securing support of the local people but will also

maintain the diversity of species which are so much a part of the natural forests in the

region.

2.2.4. Currently RDF scheme is being executed through the state plan schemes, National

Afforestation Programme funded by the National Afforerstation and Eco-development

Board and Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojana. The National Rural Employment Guarantee

Programme will also be tapped to leverage resources for rehabilitation of degraded

forests.

2.2.5. Tree cover will also be developed in urban areas and also by linear plantations

along roads, canals and river embankments.

2.2.6. These measures will not be sufficient to meet the target of bringing 20% of the

geographical area (18832 sq Km) under tree cover as mandated under the National Forest

Policy for plain states. As the notified forest area is only 6473 sq km it is necessary to

bring 12359 sq km of non forest land under tree cover. For achieving this target in 15

years will mean bringing an average of about 640 sq km of land under tree cover and this

entails plantation of more than 4 crore seedlings in private lands annually.

2.2.7. A strong thrust to agro-forestry has been initiated through the Samudai Adharit

Samanvit Van Prabandhan evam Sanrakshsan Yojana under the Rashtriya Sam Vikas

Yojana. 76 lakh saplings of Poplar and other fast growing species will be planted on the

lands of private farmers during 2007-09 at an outlay of 18.36 crores. This scheme will be

extended to other districts of the state in the second phase at an estimated outlay of 250

crores of Rupees. A large number of decentralized Kisan nurseries will be established

which would become self sustainable once the plantation work is taken by the farmers.

2.2.8. Since the area of forest is very limited, thrust will be on creation of forest and bio-

mass resources in all culturable waste lands including common property resources

through social forestry. Tree plantation is one of the priority items identified under the

National Rural Employment Guarantee Program. The forest department will provide all

necessary technical support to the Panchayat Raj Institutions in raising plantations.

2.2.9. Bamboo plantation will be given a thrust, particularly, in North Bihar under the

―National Bamboo Mission‖. Under the Mission, steps will be taken to value addition and

establishment of necessary market linkages. 250 hectares will be brought under bamboo

cultivation annually at a cost of 46 lakh rupees per year.

2.2.10. The Integrated Forest Protection Scheme (IFPS) and grants from the 12th

Finance

Commission have helped in strengthening the infrastructure of the department. The funds

have been used for strengthening the communication network, fire protection, office

modernization, boundary consolidation etc. The IFPS will continue during the 11th five

year plan.

2.3 Wild life

2.3.1. With 50% of the forest area notified as Protected Areas (PAs), management of

these areas needs special emphasis and specialized approach. Presently there is no

authentic database on bio-diversity and habitat status of terrestrial PAs. A major thrust

will be on building of baseline database of vital information on bio-diversity and habitat

status. All the management plans of the PAs will be completed during the plan period.

2.3.2. The PAs are located in areas which are extremely sensitive in law and order

terms. Most of the areas affected by extremist activities and the protection mechanism of

the PAs needs to be strengthened in matters like communication, roads, surveillance.

Additional fire power through provision of firearms, training and the legal authority to

use the arms needs to be vested in the PA staff. The cooperation of the local communities

will be sought through the formation of eco-development committees.

2.3.3. Man- animal conflict issues needs redress. Relocation of habitations in Valmiki

Tiger Reserve on the lines of the recommendations OF Tiger Task Force is the first

priority for protection of the tiger. Where this is not feasible, an effective co-existence

plan will be put in place.

2.4 Policy initiatives

2.4.1. Regulation of forest produce has been a hindrance to easy disposal of tree produce

grown on farmer‘s lands. It will be necessary to rationalize these regulations to encourage

the farmers to take up agro-forestry without any reservations and form a solid raw

material base for wood based industries like Paper & pulp, and veneer & plywood. This

is being done by a policy initiative of excluding certain species like Poplar, Eucalyptus,

Semal, Kadam, Gamhar, etc from regulation of transit rules which will allow free felling,

transport and marketing of these species from private holdings.

The state has delegated the collection, storage and marketing of NTFP to the

Panchayat Raj Institutions in 2003. The state currently does not have any control over the

collection and marketing of NTFP. However, it is proposed to provide value addition

skills and assist in better market linkages to ensure that maximum benefit accrues to the

local populace.

Chapter 14

Science and Technology

Capability in science, technology and innovation contributes

substantially towards meeting development goals and triggering

economic growth. The contribution of science and technology to

economic growth and improvements in the quality of life is beyond

debate. Science and technology alone had the scope to provide

substantial and large-scale inputs into improving the well-being of poor

rural people. Therefore, the state has to endeavour to significantly

improve for significant and sustained scientific and technological

updation dovetailed with appropriate management technique. This

requires encouragement of innovative applications of technology over

entire range of economic activities.

Review of the Tenth Plan and Targets for the Eleventh Plan

2. Against the Tenth Plan revised outlay of Rs 122.68 crore on science and

technology, expenditure incurred during the Tenth Plan period was Rs 114.15 crore

(93.05 percent).

TECHNICAL EDUCATION

3. Bihar has fewer technical institutions than the average in other states. After

the re-organization of Bihar in 2000 and the creation of Jharkhand, the number of

technical institutions were reduced in Bihar and intake in technical courses

slumped, thus decreasing technical education opportunities in Bihar. It is important

that immediate attention is given to revitalizing the entire technical education

system in Bihar. For revitalization, it is essential to complete the establishment of

Loknayak Jaiprakash Institute of Technology, Chapra in time-bound manner and

three taken-over engineering colleges are required to be made operational at the

earliest. In addition, it is essential to establish at least three engineering colleges, one

in the centre (Bhojpure/Rohtas), in the east (Madhepura/Katihar) and the third in

the south (Munger/Jamui). Similarly, at least six government polytechnics and

government women’s polytechnics need to be set up in the districts of Nalanda,

Madhubani, Jehanabad, Gaya, Buxor and Rohtas.In order to bring the state on par

with the national average, apart from the establishment of BIT Mesra (extension

center) at Patna, the Department has invited private promoters to set up degree and

diploma technical institutes. The Twelfth Finance Commission has approved a total

grant of Rs. 50 crore to be used between 2006-07 and 2009-10. In the light of the

same, a scheme of capacity expansion and strengthening and modernising the

workshops and laboratories of engineering colleges and six polytechnic institutes

has been sanctioned in 2006-07. This will continued in the Eleventh Plan up to 2009-

10. The seven polytechnic institutes not covered under the Twelfth Finance

Commission scheme will need to be strengthened and modernised during the

Eleventh Plan. Besides these, a state-level government organisation, the State Board

of Technical Education, need to be strengthened and modernised during the

Eleventh Plan to make it capable of certification and to develop a diploma-level

technical curriculum. To bring the state on par with the national average, the

Department is planning to set up new technical institutes in the public and private

sectors.

4. The 11 government polytechnics and two government women’s polytechnics

in the state need funds to sustain the new courses introduced. The All India Council

of Technical Education (AICTE) has sanctioned the introduction of new courses in

the Government Polytechnic, Chapra and Gopalganj and Government Women’s

Polytechnic, Muzaffarpur. IT-related courses have already been introduced in six

government polytechnics and government women’s polytechnics. Financial support

to implement the new courses will be provided in 2007-08. Some of the government

polytechnics which were established during the 1960s, now need strengthening and

modernizing, of their workshops and laboratories, and have submitted proposals for

this. There are 11 government women’s industrial schools to train women in

popular and useful trades in the area of artisan skill development especially for self-

employment. Apart from these, the Government Printing School, Gulzarbagh,

Patna also trains people in areas related to printing and book binding. The state

government finances these completely, and will continue to do so in 2007-08.

5. To overcome the shortage of teachers in Engineering Colleges and

Polytechnic/ Govt. Polytechnic Institutes, a Distant Learning Programme with the

help of EDUSAT satellite has been approved in Financial year 2007-08.

6. To promote research in Science & Technology and other emerging areas, it is

essential to establish a Central Instrumentation Center in the State, where the

teachers and students can do their research works. The Department has proposed

this scheme for approval by apex body in current Financial year 2007-08.

SCIENTIFIC SERVICES

7. Awareness on the importance of science and technology for better

livelihoods, and the inculcation of scientific temperament and provision of scientific

services to people through various organisations is provided by the Bihar Council

on Science and Technology (BCST). Through multifaceted activities and exhibition,

the Council, with the help of District Science Centers, promotes public utility

activities related to science and technology and technology transfer and through

NGOs. The Organisation of the Children Science Congress also propagates the

communication of science and technology, Short-term awareness programmes,

symposia, conferences and similar activities propagated by the National Council on

Science and Technology (NCST) are carried out with the help of the Bihar Council

on Science and Technology. The Bihar Council on Science & Technology is

formulating a biotechnology policy to improve the quality of various agro-products,

and augment agriculture and agro-based production in the state. The planetarium

located in the Indira Gandhi Science Complex, Patna offers regular shows on the

solar system, cosmos, space, the galaxy and aquatic life under the sea. During 2006-

07, Rs. 20 lakh will be earmarked as a grant to the Indira Gandhi Science Complex

Planetarium, Patna, to meet its recurring expenditure on electricity. The Bihar

Remote Sensing Application Center, Patna contributes to mapping of the earth’s

surface in Bihar and adjoining states through IRS-1 D. The scanned maps are very

useful for interpreting data on crop-planning, land use, issues related to floods,

development of geographical information management systems, creation of a

database for disaster management and other activities. The Department will provide

the financial support needed to achieve the objectives of scientific services to the

Bihar Council on Science and Technology, Bihar State Remote Sensing Application

Center and the Indira Gandhi Science Complex Planetarium as and when required

after a proposal to this effect is approved by the executive committee of the BCST.

The Eleventh Plan provides for a grant of Rs 40 lakh per year to meet the recurring

expenditure of Taramandal and the Remote Sensing Application Centre. A proposal

to establish a science complex-planetarium in north Bihar at Muzaffarpur is under

active consideration for the Eleventh Plan.

8. Activities Proposed Under the Twelfth Finance Commission Grant- As stated

earlier the Twelfth Finance Commission has approved a grant of Rs. 50 crore for

the improvement and consolidation of technical education. The grant is to be

utilised within the period 2006-07 to 2009-10. According to the proposal and

sanctioned the amount, Rs 40 crore has been earmarked in the Eleventh Plan.

9. It is proposed to strengthen and modernise the Directorate (headquarters) of

Technical Education.

[Outlay for Eleventh Plan (2007-12): Rs 34.00 lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08: Rs. 6.00 lakh]

15.11 PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT AND

STATISTICS

Planning and Development Department is set-up for undertaking plan

formulation, monitoring and evaluation of various developmental and welfare schemes in

the state. At the State level, Planning and Development Department is headed by

Planning Secretary and works under the guidance of Development Commissioner of the

State. Presently the department functions as a programme coordinator among various

development departments as well as nodal department for Border Area Development as

well as for many important development programmes of the State.

2. The present planning process centers around formulation of Plan Programmes by

different development department at the State Level as per the guidelines issued by the

Planning Commission. The Department in turn associate respective district plan.

3. The State Planning Board is headed by the Chief Minister and a full time non-

official Deputy Chairman of the status of a Cabinet Minister with officials and non-

officials as members. The Board (i) Recommends priorities (ii) Dovetails programme of

various sectors to achieve the priorities laid and targets fixed, (iii) Removes inter-

departmental functional disproportions, (iv) Keeps up the momentum gained in the

speedy economic and social Development of the State (v) Monitors progress of

implementation of Plan Programmes and (vi) Conducts review and evaluation in general

of the priority sectors backed up by the State Planning Machinery. Apart from the

members, Cabinet Ministers also attend the Board Meetings.

4 There is an empowered committee at the state level under the chairmanship of

Development Commissioner to sanction plan schemes and to monitor the implementation

of projects.

5. The Directorate of Statistics and Evaluation which works under the administrative

control of Planning Department is made for creation of data base for formulation,

implementation and assessment of schemes through collection of relevant statistics.

Among the important statistics collected by the directorate are Agriculture Statistics,

Vital Statistics, price and other Socio- Economic Statistics.

6. The Planning Machinery at the state level in general is in the traditional form of

departmental structure where expertise is lacking. Slight reorganization of the Planning

Machinery at the state level might improve the quality of planning process. Recently

Planning Machinery at the state level has been restructured and strengthened by

surrendering some of the irrelevant posts and its place expert posts like Deputy Director

Cum Planning Officer, Joint Director, Director and Direction in Chief have been created.

7. District planning is being introduced in the state with the objective of decentralize

planning for securing full development of the natural and other resources for the district

in 1978-79. Accordingly District planning Unit were sanctioned and District Planning &

Development Council was constituted in 1981. But department did not spell out how this

was to be operationalized. There ware several suggestions and attempts for

operationalzing of the district planning process; but it has not taken route and shape.

8. The 73rd & 74rd the amendment of the constitution gave constitution status to

PRI and Local Self Government and provided a new, more politically universalized

platform for Decentralized Planning for Planning from below. In Bihar District Planning

Committee (DPC) has been constituted in accordance with the provision of the

constitution.

9. It has, however, been noticed that even after adopting the district as a unit of

planning, large pockets of relatively under- developed areas have continued to exist

within the districts. Therefore, there has been a growing realization that in order to ensure

balanced development of all parts of the district, planning process might have to be taken

further down. This would also help/reflect correctly the local needs and would be a step

in the direction of need based planning from the bottom. It is thought that it would be

worth while to create Block Level Machinery on the line of District Level Planning

Machinery being created in the district for assisting the intermediate level PRI as well as

for formulation of integrated block plans.

10 EVALUATIONS AND MONITORING

The policy of inclusive growth adopted in the Eleventh Five Year Plan

necessitates that plans and programmes be effectively monitored and evaluated to ensure

desired benefits to the target groups. Greater emphasis will be laid on strengthening the

evaluation and monitoring machinery in the State, in view of the fact that a major reason

for poor implementation of schemes in the past has been a weak evaluation and

monitoring set up. The State Evaluation Committee has been reorganised, which will

serve as the apex body for selecting schemes for evaluation as well as for giving final nod

to the recommendations of the evaluating agencies. The State Evaluation Committee has

already selected 13 socio-economic schemes of prime importance for the purpose of

evaluation. The State Directorate of Statistics and Evaluation is proposed to be

strengthened in line with other State Governments, in view of the recognition of the

importance of evaluation for successful implementation of plans. The State Government

is working out the modalities of third party evaluation by taking the services of non-

governmental agencies working in the field. A proposal of carrying out concurrent

monitoring of major flagship schemes in the State is under way with the participation of

the UNICEF. Two separate Monitoring Cells are proposed to be set up in the office of the

Development Commissioner for concurrent monitoring of the major flagship schemes

and for the special World Bank budgetory support for Bihar respectively. Apart from

striving to introduce a strong financial regime, the combined efforts of these major

initiatives will be to ensure outcome-oriented physical monitoring and evaluation of

schemes, the neglect of which has resulted in poor implementation of schemes so far

11. The Department has the following objectives

Formulation of Annual Plan, Five Year Plan for the state including BADP.

Allocate funds to different sectors and appraise plan programme and projects

drawn by the various departments.

To decentralize the planning works at district level with involvement of local

representatives.

To collect data as required by the state government on a regular basis on various

sectors of the economy.

To estimate State Domestic Product/Savings/Capital formulation.

To Implement Registration of Birth & Death Act in the state.

12. STRATEGY FOR XITH

FIVE YEAR PLAN & ANNUAL PLAN 2007-08

Formulation of Annual Plan for the forthcoming year and the

Eleventh Five-Year Plan so as to bring social and economic

development of the state.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SCHEMES:

13. Strengthening of Planning Machinery at the State, Regional, District & Block

Level: Planning Machinery Operating at the State Level is not sufficient for Plan

Formulation, Plan Coordination & Plan monitoring exercise involved in the process.

There is an urgent need to have some specialized posts for manning Directorate of

Planning & monitoring work. Hence an outlay of Rs. 3000.00 and 275.00 lakh has been

proposed for 11th Five year plan as well as for Annual Plan 2007-08 for strengthening of

planning machinery at the State level. Divisional Commissioners are nominated as field

extension officers by State Govt. but there is no Planning machinery at

Divisional/Regional level to assist Divisional Commissioners. At Present there is gap

between District & State for effective monitoring and implementation of State Plan &

formulation and monitoring of District Plan. So there is need to have regional Planning

Machinery considering division as region. All the 38 districts of Bihar have District

Planning Units. Taking account of the report of the expert committee on Grassroots

Planning (Ramchandran Committee), Govt. of India has directed that States must rapidly

move in the direction of completing their activity mapping and provide for panchayat

15.12 REVENUE & LAND REFORMS

Revenue & Land Reforms department is the nodal department for Land Revenue

administration in the state. Land records updating and consolidation of Holdings are

priority areas of action for the Department.

2. Revenue & Land Reforms essentially involve maintenance of land records in an

updated condition as also strengthening of the revenue administration at the grass root

level, with a view to achieve the twin objectives it is proposed to undertake survey

settlement operation as well as consolidation of land holding in an intensive manner to

ensure that land records get updated using both the methodology. The strategy would be

to undertake both operations in an intensive manner and complete the task in a defined

time frame. The core competence in this endeavor is trained manpower, both on

permanent pay roll as well as which can be out sourced.

The Halka being the lowest unit of revenue administration, it is envisaged to provide

them a building of their own along with some furniture so as to instill a sense of

belongingness in this lowest revenue functionary as also a sense of pride as regards his

roles and responsibilities. It will go a long way in removing the omnibus complains about

his absence from the scene. It is also proposed to tackle the twin problems of houseless

ness as well as lack of connectivity by undertaking the programme of acquisition of land

for home stead purposes as also for link roads for villages/ hamlets with a population up

to 500 It is felt that with burgeoning population it is essential to make a concerted effort

for solving the problem of houseless ness and lack of connectivity. The Circuit Houses,

which are only places available for touring officers for even over night stay, also require

attention especially in districts which are at best urban conglomeration; bereft of decent

dwelling facilities e.g. hotels etc. In fact some of the districts don't even have a circuit

house of its own. Hence it is proposed to ensure at least one circuit house in each district

besides renovation of some of existing ones.

[Outlay for Five Year Plan 2007-12 - Rs.4284.41 Lakh]

[Outlay for Annual Plan 2007-08 - Rs.00.00 Lakh]

9. National Land Resource Management Programme: Land

management is the hallmark of revenue administration, and it, per se,
