Initiatives by BUIDCO
Apart from the above mentioned projects, the BUIDCO also undertakes certain initiatives for the overall sustainable development. We list them here.
Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Fund Trust (BUIDF)
Given that the urban local bodies are not enough to cater to the aspirations of the urban residents, the BUIDF has been set up, to cater as a long-term state-led and market-driven sustainable development. The BUIDF manages three crucial funds, namely the Urban Loan Fund (ULF), the Grant and Credit Enhancement Fund (G&CEF) and the Project Development Fund (PDF). A Project Management Unit (PMU) has also been set up, to assist the trust. With assistance, the BUIDF is able to increase external financing of the ULB.
Besides the BUIDF, the BUIDCO also has a DPR review cell and a supervision and quality control cell.
