Author(s) Dr. Shivangi Kumari

Abstract Regional disparities in Bihar remain a significant challenge to achieving sustainable development. Despite economic growth in certain areas, large sections of the state continue to lag due to inadequate infrastructure, low industrialization, and socio-economic imbalances. This paper explores the causes and consequences of regional disparities in Bihar, highlighting how uneven development affects economic progress, environmental sustainability, and social equity. The study examines key challenges such as poverty, migration, agricultural dependence, and limited industrial expansion, particularly in regions like North Bihar. Additionally, it discusses government policies and developmental initiatives aimed at bridging these gaps, including improved connectivity, investment in agro-based industries, and skill development programs. A case study approach is used to assess the impact of interventions like rural industrialization and inclusive growth policies. The paper concludes by suggesting strategies for achieving balanced regional development, emphasizing sustainable practices, equitable resource distribution, and enhanced governance mechanisms. Addressing these disparities is crucial for Bihar’s long-term economic resilience and social well-being.
