Biharis are generally hard working making them do well in all fields from science and technology to administrative fields. No wonder Bihar sends a large contingency of IAS cadres to cater the administrative needs of vast India. Unfortunately many Biharis have left the state due to lack of opportunities and failures of the state government to prevent a brain drain.
