Conference Preamble

India is a land of spiritual gurus, exponents of natural sciences and ancient centers of learning, with a deep rooted philosophy! Bihar is one of the states in India which was the cynosure and paradise for the intellectuals and blessed with scholars of international fame who spread the knowledge and wisdom throughout the world. Unfortunately, the pace of research and development in Bihar has gone down in modern India despite producing high number of graduates, but the genius of Bihar has remained.

The fact is that the new Bihar after partition in 2000 still remains one of the most resourceful states in India, contributing huge human resources for the rest of the nation in all sectors of blue and white collar jobs. Such a major contribution for generating national wealth via manufacturing and service sector has had to be sustained with the meagerest of support in education and health, for the last 25 years.
