About Us: Agriculture is crucial to Bihar's economy employing >70% of workforce and generating ~25% of the State Domestic Product. The state has attained self-sufficiency in food grains production. Adverse climate plays a role in decreasing production. But these adverse conditions can be overcome to an extent by irrigation, flood control and drainage schemes. The agriculture production can be increased to through enhanced cropping intensity, change in cropping pattern, improvement in seeds of high yielding varieties, cultivation practices and with the availability of better post-harvest technology etc. State Govt. is trying to re-orient agriculture through diversification policy and other measures.
