The urban infrastructure in two cities of Bihar, Patna and Bodh Gaya, are likely to get a major facelift with a $1 million fund being provided by Japan through Asian Development Bank (ADB) for improving the living conditions in these two cities.
A preliminary study conducted by the ADB found that both Patna and Bodh Gaya are facing major deficiencies on the front of key urban services, such as water supply, sewerage and solid waste management. Bihar, the third most populous state in India, has been a laggard on the front of urbanisation and has suffered from extremely slow economic growth over the past few decades.
