Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has made a significant announcement for the youth.

Patna: In the run-up to the Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has delivered a major political message to the youth. He announced that the state government will provide jobs and employment to 1 crore youth in the next 5 years. Nitish stated that, in line with the promises made under Saat Nischay-2 in 2020, the target of providing government jobs and employment to 50 lakh youth has already been achieved.
In his new resolution, he said that the government will provide special economic packages and various facilities to entrepreneurs to promote industry and self-employment, so that employment opportunities in the state can increase rapidly.
From Saat Nischay-2 to New Target
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar wrote on his official X account: "In line with the announcement made under Saat Nischay-2 in 2020, our government has achieved the target of providing government jobs and employment to 50 lakh youth. Now, the target has been set to provide jobs and employment to 1 crore youth in the next 5 years."
- Special Economic Package for Industries
- The government has announced a special economic package to encourage the private sector and expand industries in Bihar. Under this:
- Capital subsidy, interest subsidy and GST incentive amount will be doubled.
- Land will be made available in all districts for setting up industries.
- Industries providing more employment will be given land free of cost.
- Land disputes related to industries will be resolved quickly.
- All these facilities will be given to entrepreneurs setting up industries in the next 6 months.
- The government believes that these provisions will increase investment in the state and open new employment opportunities for the youth.
What Will Be the Impact of Giving Free Land?
In a state like Bihar, where the number of industries is limited and a large section of the youth migrates, this announcement is considered very important. If free land and other financial concessions are implemented properly, then manufacturing, textiles, food processing, and the service sector can grow rapidly in the state.
Experts say that free land and economic packages will not only attract entrepreneurs but will also strengthen small and medium industries at the local level. This will give the youth the opportunity to work in their own state.
The government says that not only large industries but also self-employed youth will be given facilities. This will strengthen the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector. Nitish Kumar's goal is to make the youth self-reliant at the rural and urban levels so that the economic condition of the state can be strengthened.
