राष्ट्रपति ने लांच किया बिहार की कृषी रोड मैप 

President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday launched the much awaited Agriculture Roadmap of Bihar. Under this ambitious scheme, the state government has aimed for raising agriculture growth to a minimum of 7 percent per annum.
Mukherjee, in address while launching the roadmap, said, "While presenting the union budget of 2010-11 as a Finance Minister, I stated that the second green revolution will come from eastern India. For this, the government had then allocated Rs. 400 crores, which was doubled last year. This year, the Government of India has allotted Rs. 1,000 crores for the improvement of farm sector in eastern regions of the country." President lauded Bihar CM Nitish Kumar for his efforts to bring about a rainbow revolution in the state.

He said, "Bihar is growing very fast. During the last plan period, the state had a growth rate of 11 percent. For the next five year, the state government has aimed for more than 13 percent growth rate. The emphasis should be on inclusive strategy and joint effort." Mukherjee said, "Bihar can be the first destination for second green revolution. I have faith that in this effort, the roadmap of Bihar is going to play a big role." He added, "I share the optimism of Governor Debanand Kunwar that many states will emulate the agriculture roadmap of Bihar."
Bihar chief minister apprised the president of the features of the new agriculture roadmap. "Our whole focus is on improving the income and productive of our farmers. For this, we have emphasized on improving production, creating new storage facilities, increasing processing capacity and better reach to market places. We want to see a rainbow revolution in our state," said Nitish Kumar. He added, "We will invest more than Rs. 1.5 lakh crores in next five years under this roadmap. We create a separate feeder, so that farmers can get quality electricity."
He also sought Mukherjee's "blessings" for special status to Bihar. "Bihar requires special status in its endeavour to become a developed state. I seek your (President's) blessings for it," said Kumar.
