With a mission to actively engage the global Bihari community, the Bihar Foundation aims to leverage their knowledge, network, and resources for the state’s holistic development. Recognizing the significant migrant population from Bihar across major Indian cities, the Foundation is establishing Integrated Centres of Bihar (ICB) — dedicated hubs offering essential services, guidance, and support to the Bihari diaspora.
These centres will act as a vital bridge between Bihar and its people across the nation, addressing the diverse needs of students, workers, professionals, and entrepreneurs — helping them stay rooted in their heritage while contributing meaningfully to Bihar’s growth story.
Keep the diaspora informed and engaged through regular updates on Bihar’s government policies, employment opportunities, and welfare schemes.
Provide support to Bihari migrants in metro cities, with a special focus on the welfare of workers and students.
Showcase Bihar’s rich cultural heritage and tourism potential to local communities and visitors.
Connect potential investors with relevant government departments to attract and channel investments into Bihar’s development sectors.
Promote Bihar’s traditional art forms, crafts, and culinary heritage to ensure their continued relevance and growth.
Enable direct economic benefits for local artisans, weavers, and food producers, fostering sustainable livelihoods.
Highlight Bihar’s cultural and historical significance on national and international platforms.
Encourage interactive cultural programs and exchanges between Bihar and its diaspora to strengthen emotional and cultural bonds.
Support modernization and customization of traditional artworks and cuisines to suit evolving markets while preserving authenticity.
Build a strong community network offering mentorship, career guidance, and personal development support for Bihari students and professionals.
In the first phase, the Integrated Centres of Bihar will be established in 10 major Indian cities with a significant Bihari diaspora presence:
Kolkata | Bengaluru | Hyderabad | Chennai | Surat | Pune | Chandigarh | Guwahati | Coimbatore | Ludhiana
These cities have been strategically selected to maximize outreach, impact, and connectivity.
