Biharhas urged the Centre to allot Rs 20,000 crore in the 2023-24 Union budget for development and creation of assets in the state and suggested 90:10 ratio of the central and state Shares of funding for the centrally sponsored schemes (CSS). The state also suggested to the Centre to increase the state’s Fiscal Deficit to 4% of the gross state domestic product (GSDP).

Similarly, Choudhary suggested that the Cess and Surcharge collected by the Centre should be included in the central divisible pool to transfer a part of it to the states.

Noting that the central fiscal deficit has been periodically increased in the past far beyond 6%, Choudhary said the Centre should permit the state to have its fiscal deficit 1% more than the mandatory 3% of the GSDP for a backward state like Bihar.

Choudhary said the Centre had provided Rs12,000 crore under Bihar specific plan (BSP) in the 2012 Budget for use in Infrastructure Development and on the creation of assets.

While 95% of the BSP fund provided in 2012 had been utilised, another chunk of Rs20,000 crore should be allotted in the forthcoming Union budget as BSP-Phase II, Choudhary said.

Development is positive change – https://exam.pscnotes.com/inclusive-Growth“>Inclusive Growth, contextual modernization, and it’s like. In all of these, and at the pivot of all, are Women. Women inBiharare 52% of the Population. The state ranks very low in development indicators. When it is about women, we are further low. For example, our women have low level of Literacy and high level of maternal mortality ratio. So, both Health and Education are important. The focus should start from the girl child itself. If we educate a girl then in the end, we educate a family.

Many national as well as international governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are collecting data to highlight the plight of women in Bihar. Especially NGOs. More than development, it seems to be creating a discourse of lack of development here, which is why the situation has not improved much.

In the midst of the need to start from the girl child itself, there is a paradox we have come across. Here, in Bihar, both sex-selective abortion and pregnancy through In vitro fertilization (IVF) are increasing steadily. The former is subtle due to the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 but the latter is blatant, as is evident from mushrooming IVF clinics across the province.

This infection may be caused by a lack of immunity or by coming into contact with items that contain these moulds, such as water.
