Scholars from Bihar

Nothing is constant in this world, be that high or low, sun always rises after sunset and a every night is the indication of a coming day. Does that mean dark, cloudy and gloomy days of Bihar will also be over? The answer is yes-yes because it has all the means available at its ends to becomes a developed and industrialized states be that of natural resources or intellectual manpower. It is just a matter of times.

In order to transform Bihar there has to be an over all participation center has to takes the responsibility of grating the required fund for the development and they have to set up a monitoring committee to see that the policy, programmes, projects reaches its destination

conclusion

State government must continue with the good work and approach. They need to understand that development can also be used as a political capital to generate votes and win election.

People in turn have to realize that the world is changing fast, if they wont respond to change and don’t discard the age old dogma of castesim they will be left far behind in isolation because castiest feelings will always act as major block in development of the state.
