Addressing the review meeting, CM Nitish Kumar directed the officials to resolve the problems raised by the people’s representatives in the meeting at the earliest. The Chief Secretary should also take immediate action to resolve the problems. The Chief Minister said that in the course of the Pragati Yatra, we take information about the development works in the districts we are visiting, as well as take stock of it at the ground level. In the last cabinet meeting, the first announcements made during the Pragati Yatra have been approved. Since November 24, 2005, the people of Bihar have given us an opportunity to work. At that time, Sehmal is constantly working for the development of Bihar. Development work is being done for all sections and regions. Before 2005, the situation in Bihar was very bad. People were afraid to go out of their houses. There were no roads, no hospitals. Education wasn’t good enough. There were clashes between Hindus and Muslims.
“Our relationship with the BJP dates back to 1995.” He was a minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government. They believed in me. He made me the Chief Minister of Bihar. We will work together for the development of Bihar. When the people of Bihar gave us the opportunity to work, the situation in Bihar has changed. Development work is being done in every sector. There has been no discrimination against anyone. Together we are taking Bihar forward. Since 2006, we have started cordoning off graveyards. So far, more than 8 thousand cemeteries have been fenced and 1247 cemeteries have been identified out of which 746 cemeteries are almost complete and remaining cemeteries are being fenced. We have seen incidents of idol theft from temples. In view of this, it was decided to construct boundary walls of the temples so that incidents of theft do not occur in the temples. “We are working for the development of Bihar. No area of Bihar is untouched by development. We have done the work of education, health, roads, bridges and culverts on a large scale due to which people used to reach Patna in 6 hours from any corner of Bihar, now it has been reduced to 5 hours. All kinds of work are being done for this.
CM Nitish Kumar said that from the year 2006, the nutrition scheme was started for the children studying in government schools. Cycle scheme was started for girls from 2009 but when boys started demanding, cycle scheme was started for them also from 2010. Earlier, very few girls used to go to school. When the girls were given bicycles, they started going to school on time and also take their parents to the market in the evening. It’s really nice to see this. A large number of employed teachers have been reinstated in Bihar. Efforts have been made to improve the education sector by constructing school buildings. A large number of government teachers are also being recruited. Along with this, employed teachers are being given government recognition through examination. Madrasas have also been given government recognition and the teachers teaching there are being paid salaries on par with government teachers.
CM Nitish Kumar said that earlier only 39 patients used to come to the primary health centre for admission in a month. 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 districts. PMCH is being made a world class hospital with 5400 beds. IGIMS is also being expanded with a capacity of 3000 beds. Along with this, basic facilities like tap water in every house, construction of pucca streets and drains in every house, toilets in every house, electricity connection to every house have been provided to the people.
CM Nitish Kumar said that 50 percent reservation was given to women in Panchayati Raj Institutions and Municipal Bodies, under which 4 elections have been held so far. A large number of women were elected. We have worked for the upliftment of women. In 2013, 35 percent reservation was given to women in the restoration of police, due to which the participation of women in the Bihar Police Force has increased significantly. In 2016, the government had provided 35 per cent reservation to women in all government jobs. Earlier, there were very few self-help groups in Bihar. We started the work of increasing the number of self-help groups by taking World Bank shares in 2006. The number of self-help groups in Bihar is now 10.61 lakh, with about 1.31 crore members. We have also given the name of Jeevika Didi to the women associated with the self-help group, inspired by which the then central government also adopted it and gave them livelihood. Our work has an impact on the entire country. In Bihar, now the formation of self-help groups has also been started in urban areas. So far, 26,000 Jeevika Self Help Groups have been formed in urban areas.
“We had set a target of providing government jobs to 10 lakh people, which has been increased to 12 lakh. So far, 9 lakh people have been given government jobs. The target was to provide employment to 10 lakh people. So far, 24 lakh people have been provided employment. By 2025, 12 lakh government jobs and 34 lakh jobs will be provided. We have worked for the upliftment of all sections. We conducted a caste-based enumeration in Bihar, in which 94 lakh poor families have been identified, who belong to every caste. Such poor families are being given financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh per family so that they can earn their livelihood.

In addition, polytechnic institutes, women’s ITIs, ITIs in all the subdivisions, GNM Institute, Para Medical Institute and Jannayak Karpoori Thakur Hostel have also been constructed.
