FOREWORD
I am very happy that the Department of Planning & Development has brought
out the publication “Planning Atlas of Bihar”. We can take credit for the fact that
this publication is the first such attempt by the Department. This publication
presents the data on various social – economic indicators across different sectors
depicted through maps. I hope this book will be useful to the administrative
departments, development professionals, public representatives and researchers.

INTRODUCTION
While growth and economic development are matters of paramount concern,
particularly of the developing societies, the complexities of the components and
processes governing them and the indicators to measure progress are not easily
understood. There is no universal unanimity on what constitutes development. The
components also change from time to time, as the societies progress and value
systems change. There have been historical shifts in the importance of market
forces and government in the process of economic growth and development. At the
present juncture, need for effective government intervention is being widely
recognised, though the exact nature of intervention will vary from country to
country. Planning has been one such government intervention in India.
As part of planning process, we have been analysing the present status,

setting the objectives and goals, determining indicators, formulating strategies and
finally measuring the progress. Along with growth, the societies also seek
minimisation of inter-personal and inter-regional inequalities, so that all sections of
society lead quality life and increase their access to resources, skill, knowledge,
better health, services provisioned under different schemes, so on and so forth.
Hence it is imperative to pay attention to drawing a linkage between the micro and
macro determinates of growth and development, with simultaneous focus on equity
and equality of opportunity. In spite of launching and implementation of various
programmes and schemes aiming at equality in all spheres of life, the fact remains
that regional disparities persist across states. There is wide Intra-State disparity of
incomes also.
The goals of governments at various levels are set in a context. For example, a
developing country looks at the attainments of the developed world; a backward
state within the country seeks to achieve what has already been achieved by
developed states more than a decade back or even the national average. Similarly, a
backward district of a large state tends to compare its levels with the developed
district in its neighbourhood. India is such a vast country that its states are
compared to bigger countries. In such a situation, we should not be surprised if
some of the Indian states strive to achieve and target the developed world. Another
dimension of the issue is that a state or a district may be an achiever in some
3
indicators while at the same time lagging in certain other aspects. This is because all
territories operate in a particular socio-cultural context.
To make the development and planning process more and more participative,
efforts have recently been initiated to involve the communities in general and
Panchayati Raj representatives in particular. To make the planning exercise
intelligible to the common masses and public representatives, and to help them
appreciate the regional dimensions of growth and development in its various facets,
an effort has been made to capture various indicators in both figures and maps. The
Planning Atlas has tried to measure the existing inequities at national, state and
district level on important socio-economic and development indicators. It is hoped
that it will provide a basis for better formulation of strategies and re-setting of
priorities both at the state and district level.
The planning Atlas has two clearly discernible parts.
Part I : State -wise position on important indicators
Part II : District- wise position on important indicators
A total of 44 indicators have been selected for inter-state comparisons,

whereas districts of Bihar have been ranked and categorized on 84 indicators. They
do not capture the entire gamut, because any such attempt at documentation has
to resort to prioritization, partly because of availability of comparable data but also
because of limitations of space. Utmost care has been taken to provide updated,
reliable & corrected information as far as possible.
Devinfo software has been used for making maps from the available data.
Since the .SHP file (for making map) of Arwal district is not available, we have added
the data of Arwal district in the data of Jehanabad district, as the mother district of
Arwal was Jehanabad.
Data for this publication has been sourced from the Census of India, Agriculture
Census, Economic Census and statistical Abstract of India published by Central
Statistical Organization, All India Economic Census, District Level Household Survey –
III, National Family Health Survey, Directorate of Economics and Statistics and
several departments of the State Government.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Planning is such a vast exercise that there are infinite dimensions of works involved
in facilitating the planning process. Inspiration for the preparation of the Planning
Atlas came from some of the publications from other states like Karnataka and Uttar
Pradesh; hence our first gratitude goes to teams working in the planning
departments/Directorate of Economics and Statistics of these states. In fact, that
was the beginning of the process that led to the birth of the document – Planning
Atlas, BIHAR.
What expedited the process of the work was the ready availability of some of
the vital statistics and the software to convert the data into maps, with Shri Brajesh
Kumar Das, who has joined the Department of Planning as Facilitator, GoI – Joint UN
Programme on Convergence. The team responsible for the collection of data was led
pro – actively by Dr Harendra Prasad, deputy Director, Planning with technical
support and inputs from all those whose names have been listed in the document as
‘Research and Technical Team’. I acknowledge the support of the Departments of
the state government and Directorate of Economics and Statistics for furnishing the
data on time and various crucial inputs/ suggestions given by other colleagues of the
Department of Planning and Development.
