Bihar needs special category status to receive financial benefits that will help develop its economy. Special status would allow Bihar to contribute only 10% instead of 70% to central schemes and receive 90% grants rather than 70%. Bihar meets the criteria for special status as it has a poor resource base, remote location, and lack of infrastructure. Special status is needed to correct historical wrongs and unfair policies that neglected Bihar and hindered its development. Recognizing Bihar's status would help industrialize the state and boost India's overall growth.
