Importance of Earthquake-Resistant Skills in Bihar

Bihar lies in seismic zones IV and V, making it highly prone to earthquakes. Many older buildings lack proper structural safety. The Bihar Government’s initiative ensures that masons learn practical skills to construct safer structures.

This effort not only protects communities but also provides employment opportunities for skilled masons trained in disaster-resilient construction.

Broader Goals and Impact

The program is part of a broader government push to develop a disaster-ready workforce in Bihar. By training masons in earthquake-resistant techniques, the initiative strengthens both local construction standards and long-term community safety.
