Bihar Assembly Elections

Bihar is divided into 9 divisions and 37 districts. It has a very rich history, and is also an attraction for travelers and tourists. For Buddhist pilgrims, Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir Vaishali, Bhagalpur, Vikramsila and Sutanganj are a must visit. All of these are very popular historical sites as well. Other admired historical sites are Pawapuri, Champaran and Sasaram.

The economy is mainly based on agricultural and trading activities. There have been some attempts to industrialize the state as well: an oil refinery in Barauni, a scooter plant at Fatuha, a power plant at Muzaffarpur and some agriculture-based industries such as sugar and vegetable oil, have been established. Bihar is also known for its famous mines at Dhanbad.
