SURVIVING IN BIHAR

SURVIVING  IN  BIHAR

The 66^th round of survey of National Sample Survey Office of India ( NSSO ), paints a grim picture of the state of Bihar.

The Monthly Per Capita Consumption Expenditure ( MPCE ) in Bihar is nearly the lowest of all states.

And that forces the people of Bihar to spend most of that on “ food “, as can be seen from following figures :

·     Amounts spent on food

·     In rural Bihar  ……………  Rs. 505  out of a total of Rs. 780

·     In urban Bihar …………… Rs. 655  out of a total of Rs. 1238

Any wonder why Biharis are leaving Bihar for earning livelihood elsewhere ?
