From 24 November 2005, the people of Bihar gave us a chance to work. Since then we have been continuously working for the development of Bihar. Development work is being done continuously for all areas and all sections. Before the year 2005, the condition of Bihar was very bad. People were afraid to go out of their homes after evening.There was no arrangement for treatment in hospitals, roads were dilapidated. The condition of education was not good. There were frequent reports of disputes between Hindus and Muslims.
CM Nitish Kumar said that since the people of Bihar gave us a chance to work, the situation of Bihar has changed. Development work is being done in every field. There has been no discrimination against anyone. Together, we are constantly taking Bihar forward.We started fencing graveyards from the year 2006. So far, work has been completed on more than 8 thousand graveyards, out of which 746 graveyards are almost complete and the remaining graveyards are being fenced. We noticed that incidents of idol theft from temples are taking place.In view of this, it was decided to build boundary walls around temples so that incidents of theft do not occur in temples. The Chief Minister said that we are carrying out development work in the entire Bihar. No area of Bihar is untouched by development.We have done work on a large scale in the field of education, health, roads, bridges and culverts, due to which earlier people from any corner of Bihar used to reach Patna in 6 hours, now it has been reduced to 5 hours. Every kind of work is being done for this.
CM Nitish Kumar said that a uniform scheme was started for children studying in government schools in the year 2006. A bicycle scheme for girls was started in the year 2009. Efforts have been made to bring about improvements in the field of education by recruiting employed teachers on a large scale and constructing school buildings.A large number of government teachers are being reinstated. Employed teachers are being given government recognition through examination.Earlier, very few girls used to go to school. When girls were given bicycles, they started going to school on time and also took their parents to the market in the evening, this scene looks very good.
CM Nitish Kumar said that earlier only 39 patients used to come to the Primary Health Centre in a month for treatment. Now on an average more than 11 thousand patients are coming for treatment in a month. Earlier there were only 6 government medical colleges in Bihar. Now their number has increased to 12. Medical colleges are being opened in all the districts. PMCH is being made a world class hospital with 5400 beds.IGIMS is also being expanded. There will be a facility of 3000 beds here.

A large number of women have been elected. We have worked in every way for the upliftment of women. In 2013, 35 percent reservation was given to women in police recruitment, as a result of which the participation of women in Bihar Police Force has increased significantly. From 2016, we have given 35 percent reservation to women in all government jobs. Earlier the number of self-help groups in Bihar was very less.We started increasing the number of self-help groups by taking a loan from the World Bank in 2006. Now the number of self-help groups in Bihar has increased to 10 lakh 61 thousand, with 1 crore 31 lakh Jeevika didis associated with them.Jeevika didis have gained a lot of confidence, they express their views in a good manner. There has been a lot of change in their lifestyle and living habits.We have given the name Jeevika Didi to the women associated with self-help groups, inspired by which the central government of that time also adopted it and named it Ajeevika.Our work has an impact on the entire country. In Bihar, self-help groups have now been formed in urban areas as well, in which 26 thousand Jeevika didis have joined so far.
CM Nitish Kumar said that we had set a target of giving government jobs to 10 lakh people, which has been increased to 12 lakh. So far, 9 lakh people have been given government jobs.
