Growth, Urbanisation and Rural-Urban Linkages in Bihar
The project aimed to explore the reasons for low urbanization in the state and identify its regional pattern across the State and its economic and social characteristics. The findings of the study indicate that industrialisation and urbanisation in the state of Bihar is very much Patna-centric. Urban Development is taking place not in a pyramidal way, where the urban population is distributed with a wide base in smaller towns, feeding successively into bigger towns.
