The state government, he said, had decided to provide all weather proof houses to five lakh people whose dwellings were washed away during the flood.
Despite battling with floods, the state government took a number of steps for maintaining communal harmony and empowerment of women, dalits and extremely backward communities and strengthening the panchyati raj system.
"Agriculture is the mainstay of improving Bihar's economy and for this the government has made organic fertiliser and seeds tax free.The state government's development plan is aimed at focussing on developing the agriculture sector for which a road map has been evolved", the governor said.
