Bihar Development Dialogue

Kerala was the first state in India to be impacted by Coronavirus. But it has managed the crisis much better than other states. Kerala has been largely successful in keeping the outbreak under control. The Coronavirus curve is almost flattened. The numbers, so far, from Bihar also shows that the situation is not that bad.
