Infrastructure such as roads, public transport and waste management systems have not grown to accommodate the exponential increase in population 2. Job creation is limited.

- 12. 6. Summary • Cost of making Patna self sustainable is less than the GDP of city and 15% of the GDP of state. It would also support the neighboring areas in a 50-55 km radius. • This will also enhance the prosperity of the city, by adding new businesses and creating new jobs. • The electricity generated from the solar farms would be twice the need of the city, which can be sold to the national grid to generate further income for the city. • Smooth traffic and a clean city (air, water and streets) will reduce the stress level of working class and increase the productivity. • Based on rudimentary calculations: the city will get its money back within 5 years of implementation of these initiatives. 1.Introduction 2.
