 In male dominated society, women face discrimination in their family, social, economic and

political life and in addition to it the traditional duties of managing households create
hindrances in their social and economic empowerment. Hence various efforts have been
made by Government and Non-Government organizations to promote women
empowerment especially in rural areas and one such effort is the microfinance intervention
(Meenu et al., 2011).

 Recently, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Tarkishore Prasad presented the


state's 16th Economic Survey 2021-22 on the floor of the House on the first
day of the budget session of the Bihar Legislative Assembly.

Key Points

 According to the Economic Survey, Bihar's Gross State Domestic Product


(GSDP) grew by 2.5 percent in 2020-21 and the growth rate is better than
the national average, despite the effect of the 'lockdown' imposed to prevent
the Covid-19 epidemic.
 According to the survey, the per capita income in Bihar stood at Rs 50,555
during 2020-21 at the current market price as compared to the per capita
income of India at Rs 86,659.
 During the last five years 2016-17 to 2020-21, Bihar grew at the highest rate
of 2.3 per cent in primary sector, 4.8 per cent in secondary sector and 8.5 per
cent in tertiary sector.
 Agriculture and allied sectors have grown at the rate of 2.1 percent in the
state during the last five years 2016-17 to 2020-21.
 The total expenditure of the state government in 2020-21 increased by 13.4
percent over the previous year to Rs 1,65,696 crore, which includes Rs
26,203 crore as capital expenditure and Rs 1,39,493 crore as revenue

11.3 percent, which has increased to 15.3 percent at present.
 In the year 2011, Bihar had only 3.1 percent of the total urban population of
