6. OUROBJECTIVES The Foundation strives to build a better Bihar by embracing three initiatives supporting our core values: 1. BONDING To create conditions, partnerships and institutions that will best enable Bihar to connect with its Diaspora comprehensively is central to all our programmes and activities. 2. BRANDING Working on strategies to spruce up brand image of Bihar with the help of its strong Diaspora living outside the State – both in India and abroad. 3. BUSINESS Bihar is the next frontier for businesses in India both as an investment destination and untapped market potential. Bihar Foundation serves as a Single Window System for potential investors.

7. BONDING The Government of Bihar recognises the need to pursue and promote the dynamic of the Diaspora and development. The Bihari Diaspora clings desperately to their ethnic roots and tenuous sense of bond with the motherland. It has protected our sense of unity and cultural integrity through years of widespread dispersal and migration to the four corners of the earth. To engage with the Diaspora in a sustainable and mutually rewarding manner across the economic, social and cultural space is at the heart of the policy of the Foundation.
