Bihar
needs silent revolution of
development in the field of
education, agriculture,
horticulture, health care and R&D.
Building strong Bihar by doing
positive work is the need of hour.
Think about only development, do
only development, help local people
as much we can.
Only one point agenda - DEVELOPMENT.
This is the only way to make India
strong. - Bibhuti Bikramaditya -

Mr
Murli Sinha is right in narrating
greatness of Bihar in the past. But
in today's world Biharis cannot get
respect as a group (even though
individually some talented ones get
the honors) unless the state of
Bihar gives a good image into minds
of other people outside the state.
For this the face of the state needs
to be changed. Infrastructure is
most important. However, the
prescription of reserving everything
for Biharis will be retrograde.
Today the number of Biharis going
out of state for jobs, education and
even just for settling down after
retirement I presume should be much
higher than people from other states
coming to Bihar.
Most infrastructure projects take
time, but it is necessary for the
state Govt to quickly grab some low
lying fruits which will yield quick
results.
First requirement is power. If
setting right generating stations
takes time, Govt should take steps
to provide generators quickly to
public places like bus stations,
hospitals, main roads. private
businesses running hotels, petrol
stations, nursing homes - all must
have standby generators. First and
foremost some important roads like
those in major cities like Patna,
Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Bhagalpur and
connecting them to major highways
like the Golden Quadrilateral and
the East-West Corridor should
immediatly be completed.
Bihar is an important tourist
destination for many religions like
Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, apart
from some Hindu spots as well. These
places should present a pleasant
experience to visiting tourist in
terms of clean neighborhoods, good
roads, good hotels and convenient
and orderly transport.
A light and sound effect program on
Bihar's historical glory and also a
video film made on this theme be
circulated for promotion.
I wish state of Bihar does things
which will make those Biharis proud
of their state who live out of the
state, radiating their talents in
all partf of the country and abroad.
It will also do good to those
hard-working sons of the state who
are giving fruits of their labor to
other states and becoming victims of
Raj Thackeray type of people in
Maharashtra, Assam, Delhi etc. -
