The government of Bihar, a state in India, held a big meeting to make important decisions.
The leader of the meeting was Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
They decided to open 19 new special courts to help people who face unfair treatment because of their caste.
These courts will be built in many towns across Bihar, so cases can be finished faster.
The government will also hire 171 new workers to help run these courts.
In health news, they chose Patna Women's College to help manage 16 hospitals and medical colleges through a partnership called PPP.
This is meant to make hospitals better and available for more people.
They also approved a new Sports Science Centre in Rajgir to help athletes train smarter and recover from injuries.
Plus, they are planning a 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign in 2026, which means 'flag in every home,' to celebrate the national flag.
A big cricket stadium is almost finished too, so people in Bihar will soon be able to watch international cricket matches.
The Bihar Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, approved decisions on 17 key issues during its Wednesday meeting.
The Cabinet approved 19 additional exclusive special courts under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 in districts including West Champaran, Madhubani, Siwan and Katihar.
