The IGC-Bihar programme started in November 2009 and currently focuses on state capacity, structural transformation and flood management. In addition, the programme also studies the growth experience in Bihar. Specific contributions include work on fiscal consolidation and debt management, accountability of local government service delivery, and streamlining investment process to improve the business climate.

The IGC-Bihar team will contribute policy options on the targeting of flood relief and a study on the effects of floods on growth, as well as convening an interdisciplinary group of flood management experts.
