Launching projects is one thing, ensuring they benefit the common people is another. I hope the distribution of cheques to beneficiaries is transparent and reaches the right hands. We need accountability along with announcements.

The focus on the engineering college and interacting with students is a positive step. Investing in education and youth is the real development. Hope more such amenities are built across Bihar's colleges.

While the scale of investment is impressive, I respectfully question the timing and the spectacle of these 'yatras'. Is this genuine development planning or political campaigning before elections? The people deserve sustained work, not just events.

Samriddhi Yatra seems to be covering ground. From West Champaran to now Samastipur, if these projects materialize properly, it can change the face of Bihar's infrastructure. Jai Bihar!

Inaugurating 74 completed projects is an achievement. Often we only hear about foundation stones. Hope the 'Pragati Yatra' projects reviewed are also on track. Public welfare schemes need constant monitoring.
