Patna is the largest city and capital of Bihar and is a city of political and economic 
importance. The city has shown superb growth in the last ten year but the progress in Patna is yet to reflect on the other regions in the state.

The sex ratio in Bihar is 916 is very much close to the national average of 940. Bihar has a notified forest area spread over 7 per cent of the state, which is an encouraging data given the rampant deforestation to accommodate the ever growing population.The literacy rate in Bihar is also not at par with that of many other states in the country and various attempts are being made to improve the educational facilities and the way of life of Bihar in general.
