In this paper we discuss about land reforms development in Bihar State. As we know Bihar, earlier known as one of the BIMARU states, has suddenly been in top news as a model for the country. The shot up in economic growth rate is making headlines these days in Bihar. The Bihar government riding the horse of neo-liberal development never stops to talk about development. However, all this comes to naught in the eye of the fact that the agriculture sector that employs around 70% of the working force has merely a 21.74% share in the GDP of the state. The development in agriculture is declining despite of enough water resources and very fertile land. Due to the transfer of farming land to the other sectors and government's attention moving towards horticulture in the middle of decreasing productivity, the rural economic system is in crisis. The irony lies in the fact that the government riding the horse of neo-liberal economic development starts talking about land reforms and even constitutes a commission to study regarding this. However, the state government exposed its character very soon when it denied even to accept the report prepared by its own commission.
