ItI is an entirely land–locked state, although the ououtlet to the sea through the port of Kolkata is not far away. BihBihar lies mid-way between the humid West Bengalgal in the east and the sub humid Uttar Pradesh in the west whichich provides it with a transitional position in respectct of climate, economy and culture. It is bounded by Nepal in thehe northn and by Jharkhand in the south. The Biharr pplainl is divided into two unequal halves by the river Ganga whichhich flows through the middle from west to east. Bihar has witnessed golden peperiod of Indian history. It is the same land whereree the seeds of the first republic were sown and which cultivateated the first crop of democracy. Such fertile is the soil that has given birth to innumerous intellectuals which spreadad tht elight of knowledge and wisdom not only in thee cocountry but in the whole world. Nalanda and Vikramshila Universversities were the world class learning centres. It is a place of the founders of two great religions of the world, Gautamutam Buddha and Mahavir. The tenth Guru of Sikhism,sm, Guru Govind Singh was born in Patna, the Capital of Biharihar. Patna is situated on the bank of the holy riverver Ganga. The state as it is today has been shapeaped from its partition from the province of Bengalngal and most recently after the separation of the tribtribal southern region now called Jharkhand. The State of Bihar was reorgeorganized on November 15, 2000 with 38 districtsts oof undivided Bihar. It lies mid-way between Westt BengalBe in the east and Uttar Pradesh in the west.t. It is bounded by Nepal in the North and by Jharkharkhand in the south. It is divided into two naturalal rregions viz., North Bihar Plain and South Bihar Plain.Plain The state has several rivers such as Ganga, Sone,Son Gandak, Ghaghra, Bagmati, Kosi, Budhi Gandandak, Punpun, etc. Forty-one per cent of cultivatedd ararea is flood prone and another forty per cent is droudrought prone. After the bifurcation, the Stateate is left with cultivable land in the Indo-Gangetic PlaiPlain and abundant water, both surface and sub-surface, for irrigation.irrig Agriculture is the dominant economic activactivity employing around three quarters of the work force in the State. The primary sector contributes around 3388 per cent of the Gross State Domestic Product. Primary cropsops include rice, cane, wheat, lentils, jute etc. Supplepplementary crops include oilseeds, pulses, barely, gram and maizeaize and a variety of vegetables. The State is also knowknown of its fruit products like litchi and mango. Some of the major industriesies ini Bihar are Agro-based such as textiles, oil millsills eetc. Industries that are dependent on agriculture are the edibleedib oils mills located at Araria, rice mills locatedted in Rohtas, Buxar and Bhojpur. Numerous sugar mills locatedted in north Bihar. One of the biggest oil refineriess in tthe country is based at Barauni in Bihar. Bihar is also the sixthth largestla producer of tobacco in the country. Geography The state embraces some of ththe most fertile lands of India. Bihar, squeezed in between West Bengal, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, reacheshes up to the Himalayas in the north and is completletele y land locked. Bihar is bounded on the north by Nepal, on the south by Jharkhand, on the east by West Bengalal anand on the west by Uttar Pradesh. Bihar gets the worst of the cold and the worst of the heat and plenty of floods. NoNorthern portion of Bihar is almost entirely a level tract, while the south is wooded and hilly. Natural Divisions Bihar is traditionally divided into 1. The North Ganga plain 2. The South Ganga plain 1 The North Ganga Plain : It extends from the base of the Terai in the north to the Ganga in the south, covering an area of about 56,980 Sq Km. It spreads over the whole of Tirhut, Saran, Darbhanga and Kosi divisions and has a gentle slope towards the south. The Ganga flows from west to east near the southern margin of the plain. Towards the north and north-west in the east and west Champaran districts, the country begins to undulate and the alluvial plain gives place to broken hilly region known as the Dun or Ramnagar Dun. This consists of a range of low hills. Below these hills, large grassy prairies watered by numerous hill streams extend southwards and eastwards. The soil even at the foot of the hills has no rocky formation and whenever water can be impounded, rich growth of crop is possible. The South Ganga Plain : The alluvial filling south of the Ganga is shallow, a mere veneer and the Peninsular edge is very rugged. Many groups of small craggy hills rise up to 488 meters from islands of bare rock or scrub. In the west, where the stream Sone makes a great deltaic reentrance into the older rocks, this alluvial strip is some 137 Km wide. But in the east where the Rajmahal hills lies on the extreme north-east point of the Peninsula, it goes almost directly on to the Ganga. The river bank itself lies high, except in Bohjpur district and at high water the tributaries are flooded and pushed back. The Punpun valley, parallel to the stream Sone on the east, is thus annually flooded. Both in the north and the south of Ganga, the construction of railways across the drainage causes local but sometimes disastrous water logging and flooding. Some of these temporary inundations are agriculturally useful, either rabi crops are grown on them when they dry out or they are bunted for producing dry weather rice.
