In the next 5 years, we will provide jobs to 1 crore youth: Bihar CM announces

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar pledges 1 crore jobs for youth in next 5 years, highlights 50 lakh jobs already provided and development achievements ahead of 2025 elections.

"We have decided that in the next 5 years we will provide jobs to 1 crore youth - Nitish Kumar"

Muzaffarpur, October 21

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday announced that in the next five years, the state government will provide jobs to one crore youth. He also targeted the opposition over law and order and poor infrastructure.

Addressing a rally, CM Nitish emphasised that his government has already given jobs to 50 lakh youth.

"...A total of 50 lakh youth have been given government jobs. We have decided that in the next 5 years we will provide jobs to 1 crore youth...," he said.

Further, the Bihar CM said that his government has been consistently working for the state's development over the past 20 years, recalling the poor state of law and order, education, and infrastructure before his tenure.

He asserted that under his leadership, Bihar has transformed with improved roads, electricity, and peace, replacing the earlier atmosphere of fear with one of love, brotherhood, and harmony.

"Our government has been engaged in development work for 20 years continuously, but remember the condition of the government before us. People did not go out of their homes after evening... There was so much conflict in the society... The condition of education was also the same... There were very few roads and electricity was available in very few houses... But when we got the opportunity, we worked for everyone... Now there is no atmosphere of any kind of fear or intimidation. There is an atmosphere of love, brotherhood and peace in the state...," Nitish Kumar said.

The 2025 Bihar Elections will have the main contest between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan.

NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.

The Mahagathbandhan led by Rashtriya Janata Dal includes the Congress party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).

Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has also staked claims on all 243 seats of the state.

Polling in the Bihar 2025 elections is scheduled to take place on November 6 and 11, respectively, while the results will be declared on November 14.

As a Bihari student preparing for competitive exams, I've seen the improvement in infrastructure and law & order. But job promises before elections always make me skeptical. Hope this time it's different!

Election season promises... We've heard this before. Instead of big numbers, focus on sustainable employment and skill development. The youth need real opportunities, not political rhetoric.

The infrastructure improvements in Bihar are visible. Roads are better, electricity situation has improved. If they can deliver on this job promise, it would be a game-changer for the state's development.

Bihar has come a long way from the days when people feared going out after dark. But job creation needs private investment and industrial growth, not just government jobs. Hope the plan includes that.

The numbers sound impressive - 50 lakh jobs already and 1 crore more promised. But I wonder about the quality and sustainability of these jobs. Are they permanent positions or temporary contracts?

As someone who returned to Bihar after working in Bangalore, I can see the positive changes. But we need more than government jobs - entrepreneurship support and private sector growth are equally important for long-term development. 💼
