Till a few years back, Ram Vilas worked as construction labour in Delhi. With Bihar's economy looking up, Vilas has returned to the pavilion, armed with a job in hand.
"I earn Rs 120 here which is enough for me and my family. I have decided that I will not go to Delhi or Punjab. I will stay with my family," Bihar Labourer Ram Vilas said.
Devanti and her husband have lived separately for 18 years. They have finally been united, thanks to the Bihar government's new job-schemes.
"Now we have a job here and the amount we earn is enough for the family so thee is no need to go else where," Bihar Labourer Devanti said.
Traditionally known as one of India's "most backward" states, Bihar is witnessing a booming economic growth with migration coming down by about 30 per cent. On the flip side, this has caused labour shortage nationally, with 30 to 35 per cent higher wage bills for real estate firms.
Enhanced government expenditure and private investment has brought down rural migration by one-third. A 14 per cent increase in growth in the year 2010-11 proves that Brand Bihar is back to shining.
