The 2008-09 Economic Survey of Bihar has projected a 5.57 per cent growth in the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP)after comfortably surpassing the previous records of achieving only around three to four per cent growth per annum.

Economic development of a State is a continuous process and needs regular interventions to accelerate its pace. For such interventions, the Economic Survey is a sine qua non which helps one feel the pulse of the economy. With this end in view and a part of good governance, the State government is regularly publishing the economic survey since 2006-07. The survey, inter alia, highlights the initiatives taken by the Government and the results thereof in various sectors of the economy.
