Bihar tops in economic growth rate

Bihar under the stewardship of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has recorded all round growth. It has recorded the highest growth rate of 11.95 percent among all states in the face of sluggish domestic demand and global economic slowdown. The spectacular growth rate in Bihar has been achieved by improving governance and adopting a well-planned strategy for the development of the state. Since Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took charge of the state by defeating the unpopular 15 years regime of Rabri-Lalu duo of Rashtriya Janata Dal in the assembly elections in 2005, the state started its journey on the track of development. Though law and order still needs to be improved, Nitish Kumar Government gave top priority to improve it as it had gone down to the lowest level in the previous regime. The situation had come to such a pass that even in state capital Patna people feared moving out of their residence after 8PM in the evening. Under Nitish regime, the situation has drastically improved and an atmosphere of confidence in law and among the people on streets is noticeable. That is why Bihar under Nitish Kumar has achieved impressive development in all sectors. The most spectacular improvement has been achieved in construction, health and education sectors. The improvement is strikingly visible in roads, bridges, hospitals and schools respectively all over the state. There has also been improvement in education. A net of roads has been laid down all over the state. Roads are pre-requisites for development of the state. The construction work has also created job opportunity on a large scale. This has lessened the exodus of labourers from the state. The improvement in health and education sectors can be noticeable from the fact that state health dispensaries open in time and doctors, nurses and other health staff attend their duties properly and sincerely. All schools from primary to secondary all over the state open regularly, sincerely and properly and teacher comes in time to teach the students. Bihar has a glorious history. It was one of the best administered states till 60. It is between 70 and 2005 that the position of the state in every sphere of administration got worse and worse. The state experienced the worst phase between 1990 and 2005 so far as its economic and all other development activities are concerned. People started taunting Biharis outside for its underdevelopment in the period of 1990-2005. It is Nitish Kumar -led JD(U)-BJP government that has stopped Bihar downward slide after they came to power in 2005. Since then, Bihar has not turned back and it is moving faster and faster, leaving all states behind by achieving 11.95 economic growth rate in IIth plan.
