A five year agriculture road map for Bihar would be unveiled by President Ramnath Kovind soon to further improve the farm sector which is the backbone of state's economy, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said today.

"A request has been send to President Ramnath Kovind for launching the state's agriculture road map 2017-22. The date would be decided soon for the launch," Kumar told a function here.

He also referred to the "success" of prohibition in the state and the launching of the campaign against child marriage and dowry on October 2.
