Why Every 12th Indian IAS officer comes from Bihar state
Why is this?
See 28 Indian states and 8 union territories
Bihar is not performing satisfactorily
Bihar is at or near the last position in various important parameters of India
Here is a statement from NITI Aayog
Half of Bihar’s population is not only poor but multidimensionally poor
It means parameters like education, health, the threat of violence, quality of life, etc.
Bihar’s performance poor on all parameters
Hence, the puzzle of Bihar that produces so many IAS officers becomes more interesting.
Take this post as an idea starter
that means I’m going to tell you some facts
But I’ll make you think deeply
So let me ask you the first question
What is the job according to you?
It is defined in very simple terms by International Labor Laws
Any work or work from which you get money or profit is a job
but it’s not that straight
If that was the case, you could do anything for money.
but it doesn’t

Which job do you choose?
depends on many parameters
And if we solve the puzzle of these parameters
Then we will easily know why so many IAS officers are born in Bihar.
So, the first question
What is the mindset of your family or parents?
Let’s see it in Bihar
In general, our parents are still living with the mindset of people in their 70s or 80s.
They think, our country has the most agriculture
Or some jobs are offered by private companies that can fire you anytime
Get a government job, and your whole life is safe and stable
After the liberalization of 1991, the perception of the people changed a lot in our country for this.
But Bihar could not change its perception
Look, 10 years after 1991
More than 70% of the rural population in Bihar was dependent on agriculture for their livelihood.
This means that the penetration of the service sector in the rural population was almost zero.
Bihar’s urbanization rate is 10%
So the service sector which was covering the urban areas
was not covering a large population of Bihar
Now, you would think that the agriculture sector in Bihar must be performing exceptionally
not at all
Smallholdings are prevalent in Bihar
Therefore, fewer investments give less output.
So many families are in deficit or deficit
and allied industries of agriculture such as sugar
Bihar is ahead in the competition
Earlier Bihar used to produce 40% of the total sugar produced in India.
But now it has been reduced to only 4%
the reason behind this is
Out of a total of 22 mills, 17 mills have closed their operations.
Corruption and politics
Now, the industrial sector is left
a look at its condition
When Bihar was reorganized
When Bihar was separated from Jharkhand
The industrial sector contributed 24% to Bihar
But after partition, this too has come down to only 4%.
Now, you are standing in an Indian state
Where the industrial sector is suffering, the service sector is limited to urban areas, and agriculture is also not performing satisfactorily.
if you are a parent
What will your children do in the future?
You will only ask them to do government jobs
As this is the only job opportunity here in Bihar
There is no opportunity for them in other areas
Another factor that decides what job you’ll do
what is your family’s financial condition?
It means the financial condition of your family
This is also very bad in Bihar.
A survey revealed that
During the 1980s, it took almost 20 years for a person across the country to double his salary
But at that time it had been 63 years in the case of Bihar.
And it was much more than the life expectancy of the people of Bihar.
This means that a resident of Bigar cannot double his salary in his entire life.
Even today the situation has not improved
Bihar has the highest poverty rate among all Indian states
and because of that when one needs social mobility
or a good economic stability
then people would not have money in their house
they end up with the same purpose
study hard and get a government job
And Bihar has a deep connection with education
Great universities like Vikramshila and Nalanda were in Bihar
where the acceptance rate was only 20%
This means it was very difficult to get into these universities
The ancient culture of education exists in Bihar
And that culture still exists today
Where people tell children to just study and make their future bright
And so the people of Bihar are more interested in education and government jobs
Another factor that decides which job you will go for
are your childhood heroes
that means when you’re growing up
Then who are the heroes recognized by your society?
People in Gujarat think that businessmen are the most respected people
We will get down to business keeping our financial position afloat
The situation in Bihar is completely the opposite.
top grade or top rank students
don’t come from high-class families
For them, IAS officers are projected as real heroes
So, many students want to become an IAS officers.
Watch some interviews of class 10th or 12th toppers from 2019 to 2022
All these students want to become IAS officers
Another factor that decides your job
power hungry
This hunger for power comes from many reasons
Bihar has a historical context for this hunger for power.
When the revolt of 1857 took place in Bihar under the British Empire
Then the British started describing against the people of Bihar
Earlier the British used to appoint many army officers from Bihar.
But they stopped it after the rebellion
The British started recruiting people from other states to various posts in the army.
And the people of Bihar faced this discrimination.
In addition, revenue share
The lowest was 32 percent for the Bengal constituency
and Bengal Presidency was joined with Bihar
When Bengal Presidency was separated from Bihar
Then a center was made in Patna to look after Bihar.
All the officers posted in that administrative center were Bengali.
And because of this, the people of Bihar developed an interest in profiles related to Power
If somehow we manage to get into these profiles then we can regain the glory of our kingdom
There is another context of power in the context of Bihar.
who comes from the feudal mindset
Bihar is called the bastion of feudal mentality.
and the zamindari system ignited this whole situation
The class of the people was determined by the Zamindari system.
widened with the passage of time
and caste-based discrimination which is very prevalent in North India
everyone is well aware
And because of this all such people who have been victims of any caste or class-based discrimination
felt that when it came to power
then everyone will respect us
And so NC Asthana who is a retired IAS officer says that
The feudal mentality has formalized this whole situation.
There is another episode of this hunger for power
which is quite recent
you must remember
In the 1980s or 90s, the Bihar government was called Jungle Raj.
This is not told by me at all, it was told by the High Court of Bihar
Reading Leader. the whole generation has grown up
who was called Bahubali, who came from a criminal background
Incidents of kidnapping and theft were common
that generation thinks it should change
And corruption also adds to all this
A survey showed that 75% of people have offered bribes for some work
the whole system is corrupt
So, the generation that grew up reading all this
either think of changing this whole situation
or if we want to survive in this scenario
then we have to reach some position of power
So that our family and children stay away from this dirty situation
And so big population of Bihar not only prefer a government job
But also aim to achieve the top position
But the sad truth is even after producing so many IAS officers
The situation in Bihar is not improving
Bihar’s performance poor on various parameters
And let me tell you an irony
The posting of IAS officers from Bihar is always outside Bihar.
So there is a shortage of IAS officers in Bihar itself.
someone told the truth
A lamp is lit to illuminate its surroundings but darkness falls beneath it.
