Economic Implication of Liquor Prohibition in Bhojpur District of Bihar

Abstract

Prohibiting Liquor is one of the most challenging decisions for the government across the world despite its widespread acceptance as a social evil. The root cause behind this compulsive continuation is the huge excise taxes levied on these products and the pressure from the elite class of the society. But the government across the world tempted to prohibit liquor time and again with mixed responses on the protest by another half of the society and social organisation.

For the present investigation, the district of Bhojpur has been preferred because this district has been important from the point of that the consuming liquor was very commonly found phenomenon. For the economy, after the prohibition spending per household and consumption of food and non-food items rose significantly. In villages, brick houses are gradually taking the place of more rudimentary cottages since state Prohibition came into effect. Many people have acquired new assets.
