When
we speak of Bihar we are remembered of ancient
India when Buddhism was evolving into what
now is an universal religion.The Word "Bihar"
has been coined from "Vihara"
meaning Buddhist Monasteries. At one time
in the epoch of history these "viharas"
were all strewn over the landscape of Bihar,
around villages and cities alike. |

| Patna
its capital city today, Patliputra in those times
was home to one of the greatest monarchs in the
history of the world who ruled over much of the
Indian - Subcontinent and extended as far as Iran
and Afghanistan to the West.Bihar is the fascinating
land of great religious leaders like Gautama Buddha,
Lord Mahavir and Guru Gobind Singh. |

| Bihar
is the home of Emperor Ashoka who preached "ahimsa"
or non-violence and spread the message of Buddhism
throughout the world. The tradition of "ahimsa"
has been carried into the modern times and the land
was witness to the "Satyagraha (or non-violence)
Movement" of the Father of the Nation, Mahatama
Gandhi. |

Bihar
is situated in the eastern part of India
with the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal to its
north and the states of Orissa, West Bengal,
Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh flanking
its sides. It is today home of more than
90 million Indians. The state is endowed
with an enviable mineral resources base,
has some of the finest industries, is country's
one of the largest producers of fruit and
the second largest producer of vegetables.
However, this rich state in terms of natural
and human resources and the second most
populous in the country has been slow to
harness its natural and human resources
for the development of the state and its
people. |

| This
state which gave the nation the first President
of the Indian Republic, Dr Rajendra Prasad is taking
slow but confident steps to join the mainstream
of economic growth and occupy its rightful place
in the country's economy in the next millenium. |
