520 _aThe primacy of development goals shifted to human development goals in 1990s. The United Nations approved the parameters of gazing human development threefold – life expectancy (health conditions), educational status (attainment of education) and income (level of poverty). Substantial improvements in case of life expectancy and minimising poverty have been made in India and Bihar finds better place in reducing the multidimensional poverty in comparison to most other states of India for period from 2004-05 to 2014-15 as per UN reports. But inc case of education Bihar lags far behind on the all the parameters of educational development as compared to most other Indian states. As such the present paper intends to underline the challenges of education development in Bihar. The major challenges are – inadequate number of educational institutions, paucity of infrastructure and pupil-teacher ratio, social and gender based discriminations. – Reproduced
