Bihar Revives Land Scheme Ahead of Assembly Polls
The Bihar government is restarting a program to give land to people without any.
It's like a fresh start of an old plan called Abhiyan Basera.
They're checking who needs land and hope to finish before the next big elections.
If people get land, they can use it to build homes with help from other government programs.
This new survey will help about 130,000 families who were surveyed before.
This means more people could have a place to call their own.
The Bihar government revived the Abhiyan Basera Scheme.
The scheme aims to allot land to landless families.
The government conducted a previous survey in 2014.
The new survey, Abhiyan Basera-II, will likely benefit 1.3 lakh families.
The government aims to complete the process before the Assembly polls.
