"Bihar Diwas greetings to the people of Bihar", the Prime Minister tweeted.
The separate province of Bihar and Orissa was carved out of Bengal in 1912 and the Bihar government marks the birth of the state on March 22 annually.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had taken the initiative a few years ago to mark the day with festivities. The state observes three-day celebrations starting March 22 at the historic Gandhi Maidan annually.
The closing day of the anniversary celebrations this year coincides with Holi festivities on March 24.
From 2010, the government of Bihar has been organising the 'Bihar Utsav' in Delhi marking the foundation day showcasing the art, craft, culture and development of Bihar.
The theme for 'Bihar Utsav' this year is tourism, tradition, art and culture and ambience of Bihar.
