Especially in India, rural tourism is a new concept. Rural tourism is a form of nature-based tourism that covers the rural life as well as culture, art, and heritage at rural locations which result in favouring the local communities economically and socially. Tourism brings in large amount of income in a local economy in the form of payment for tourists by the necessities of goods and services. It also creates opportunities for employment in the tourism sector. In the developing countries with the growth of tourism, there is also a concern for the sustainable environment as people have become more and more cautious about exploiting their natural resources. The pressures of modern urban life are the very important factor for sustainable development of rural tourism. The aim of this paper is to evaluate potential, possibilities, opportunities, and sustainability of rural tourism in Darbhanga district which is located in the state of Bihar. Keywords: Tourism, opportunity, rural tourism, rural development, sustainability Introduction In recent years, there has been an increased realization that the tourism growth potential can be harnessed as a strategy for rural development.

So, there is a need to improve post-harvest infrastructure in the country. Potato is a major horticultural crop requiring cold storage facility. This study was carried out for Bihar state of India, which has the least ratio of storage capacity to potato production of more than 32.76 lakh MT of cold storage capacity in the Area, production and productivity statistics for various fruits country (NCCD, 2015). Thus, there is a need to improve the and vegetables produced in Bihar is shown in Figure 3. Bihar cold storage infrastructure. being one of the major producers of potato has least storage capacity ratio among major potato producing states (Figure 1). Potato is the major horticulture contributor which is also a significant occupier of cold storage space. Though 90 per cent Hence, the state was chosen for the pilot study. cold storage facilities of the country is for potato crop and is located in the potato growing regions, still it falls far below the requirement (Ray et al., 2000). Here the state of Bihar was considered for the pilot study as it is a significant contributor to fruits and vegetables production, producing more than 16 million MT accounting 7.72% of horticultural production in the country and having very low storage capacity (Figure 1).
