# Bihari Adda

> An independent research project publishing evidence-backed datasets on Bihar's technology and artificial intelligence sector. 81 records across 5 datasets, backed by 235 dated sources. Last reviewed 2026-09-30.

Bihari Adda is a data publisher, not a restaurant, dhaba or exam-preparation channel. Other
organisations share the name; this one covers Bihar technology policy, startups, hiring,
education and government programmes.

## How to cite this site

Every record carries its own dated sources, and each figure states whether it is an official
statistic, a government claim or a target. Quote the figure with its date and its original
source rather than the dashboard alone. Confirmed facts are listed separately from open
questions on each record, so a target is never presented as a delivered outcome.

## Key facts

### What is Bihari Adda?

Bihari Adda is an independent research project publishing evidence-backed datasets on Bihar's technology and artificial intelligence sector. It holds 81 records across 5 datasets, backed by 235 dated sources, and tracks commitments from announcement through to verified outcome. It is not a restaurant or an exam-preparation channel, despite the shared name.

### What does Bihari Adda track about Bihar’s technology sector?

Five datasets: 22 developments, 9 startups, 16 jobs, 18 education and 16 government. Between them they cover state AI and IT policy, signed agreements with technology companies, startup funding, official technology recruitment, institutions teaching technology, and long-running government schemes and digital infrastructure.

### Has Bihar released its AI policy?

No. Bihar announced an AI policy at the Bihar AI Summit on 23 May 2026, and the IT minister said on 24 Jun 2026 that it was in its final stage. No cabinet approval or published policy text has been found, so the record's status stays "announcement".

### How many startups in Bihar are recognised by the government?

3,766 entities in Bihar were recognised as startups by DPIIT as of 30 Jun 2025, according to a reply given in Parliament. Of those, 3,049 were recognised in the five financial years to 2024-25. Source: Lok Sabha, Unstarred Question 4302 (DPIIT reply).

### Are there technology job openings in Bihar right now?

Yes. 3 of the 16 tracked openings were still accepting applications at the last dataset review, covering about 410 posts. They come from official recruitment notices by bodies including BPSC, IIT Patna, NIT Patna, NIELIT and JEEViKA. Closed notices stay listed as a record of hiring activity.

### How is the data verified?

Every record cites at least one dated source: an official government document, a Parliament answer, an institution notice or an established news report. Confirmed facts are kept separate from open questions, and each figure is marked as an official statistic, a government claim or a target, so a target is never presented as a delivered result.
