Good to see the government focusing on rural development. The interaction with Jivika Didis and pensioners shows they're thinking about grassroots level. But implementation is key - hope the funds are used properly 🤞
As someone who has visited Bihar multiple times, I can see the infrastructure gap. These investments in education and rural development are much needed. Hope the new degree college creates more opportunities for local youth.
Election year development spree? 🤔 Two districts daily, thousands of crores announced... Timings seem too convenient. Hope this isn't just for votes and the work continues post-elections too.
The focus on women empowerment through Jivika Didis and Anganwadi workers is commendable. Rural women are the backbone of Bihar's economy. More power to them! 💪
Over 8,900 crores in Katihar and Madhubani yesterday, 1,585 crores in Gopalganj today! That's massive spending. Hope there's proper monitoring to prevent corruption and ensure quality work. Bihar deserves better infrastructure.
