Governor Syed Ata Hasnain told India Today that Bihar contributes significantly to the nation’s progress but is hampered by internal bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Governor Syed Ata Hasnain, the constitutional head of Bihar, remarked in an interview with India Today that the state plays a pivotal role in driving India’s overall development. He emphasized that Bihar’s economic activities, ranging from agriculture to emerging industries, feed into the national growth engine.
Despite this contribution, the governor warned that Bihar’s own administrative machinery is lagging. He pointed to persistent delays in project approvals, cumbersome procedures, and a lack of coordination among departments as major bottlenecks.
Hasnain urged the state government to undertake comprehensive bureaucratic reforms, streamline decision‑making, and adopt technology‑driven solutions. He said such steps are essential for Bihar to fully capitalize on its potential and match the pace of its contribution to the country.
The governor’s comments come at a time when the state is seeking greater investment and aims to improve its rankings in national development indices, making administrative efficiency a critical priority.
