The present study is an attempt to present in detail the current status of the state’s economy, as well as its various sectors. The sectoral analysis will highlight the efforts made by the state government for the different sectors and their respective achievements. The rise in productivity has led to higher rate of growth of GSDP during the last decade. This rise has also led to higher generation of agricultural surplus during the recent years. This surplus has got invested in secondary and tertiary sectors, helping them to grow at high rates. The economy of Bihar is largely service-oriented, but it also has a significant agricultural base. The erstwhile state of Bihar was bifurcated in November, 2000, and the present Bihar does not have any mineral resources. The state also lost the important industrial sector that went to present Jharkhand. Therefore, Bihar has got only an agricultural sector to rely upon. The base of Bihar’s agriculture is its fertile soil and abundant water resources, particularly ground water. Because of its favourable agro-climatic conditions, Bihar produces a variety of crops, vegetables and fruits. Recently, the state is producing flower on a large scale for its domestic and outside market. The state government is stressing for higher agricultural growth with a variety of interventions for technological change. Agriculture Road Map II contains a number of programmes for ensuring higher productivity in agriculture. A strong monitoring system has been put in place to ensure effective implementation of those programmes.
