Nitish Kumar unveils Rs 50 lakh crore industrial plan for Bihar
Bihar's Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, has announced a big plan to make Bihar a major industrial hub in eastern India.
Over the next five years, the state aims to attract Rs 50 lakh crore in investments.
This plan includes setting up new manufacturing clusters, sector-specific parks, and expanded skill training.
The goal is to create many jobs so that young people from Bihar don't have to leave the state to find work.
The plan also includes setting up new departments focused on youth, employment, and skill development, as well as higher education and civil aviation.
The government will train seven lakh people in industry-linked skills and establish various industrial and MSME parks across the state.
Bihar aims to attract Rs 50 lakh crore in investments over five years to boost economic growth and job creation.
The plan includes setting up five mega food parks, 10 industrial parks, and 100 MSME parks.
An Integrated Manufacturing Cluster (IMC) at Dobhi in Gaya, spread across 1,700 acres, is being fast-tracked.
31 new industrial parks, covering 14,036 acres across 29 districts, are planned, with 10 being sector-specific.
