• Bihar has been severely impacted by floods this year, with 22 districts experiencing extensive damage to infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and embankments.
• The state government has lifted restrictions on construction work to facilitate the repair and restoration of damaged infrastructure under the Viksit Bharat — Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) VB-G RAM G scheme.

Impact & Risks

The floods have caused significant damage across 22 districts, including Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, and Darbhanga, disrupting transportation and local infrastructure. The damage has also affected livelihoods, particularly for agricultural labourers, as the floods coincided with the agricultural season. The lack of functional infrastructure poses risks to mobility, economic activities, and access to essential services. The state government’s efforts to restore infrastructure and provide employment aim to mitigate these risks and support affected communities.
