Climate Change and Disaster Risk - Building Resilience Framework for Bihar is a timely and comprehensive volume prepared under the chief editorship of Prof. Anil Kumar, Professor of Practice, NITTTR Kolkata. The book is the outcome of the collective academic, professional, and field-based insights of experts from NITTTR Kolkata and other institutions, brought together with a shared purpose: to develop a practical, evidence-based, and people-centred resilience framework for Bihar.  Bihar stands at a critical crossroads. It is home to more than 120 million people and faces one of the most complex disaster and climate-risk profiles in India. Floods, droughts, earthquakes, heat waves, cold waves, lightning, water stress, ecosystem degradation, unsafe buildings, and growing urban risks do not occur in isolation. They interact with poverty, dense population, vulnerable livelihoods, weak infrastructure, and climate change, turning natural hazards into recurring human and development crises
