Introduction-12 Upcoming Mega Projects in Bihar
It is a fact that Bihar is India’s 3rd most populous state and it is the only state in India to have the youngest population when compared to other states. During ancient times, the Bihar state was considered as a center of power. center for learning and center for culture but due to the corrupted politics, bad governance, etc the progress and development of Bihar state got affected adversely leading to the poor growth of the region. This is the reason why even today more than 60% of Bihar’s population still resides in rural areas.
It has been observed that in past few years, the government has changed its approach toward the development of the state. The state government and central government are currently working to build a world-class infrastructure system throughout the region. In this article, we will be looking at some of the upcoming and under-construction mega infrastructure projects in Bihar.
