Bihar's future will come out of Champaran: PM Modi
Prime Minister Modi stated that today he is delighted to inaugurate and lay the groundwork for development projects worth thousands of crores in Motihari, Bihar. The NDA government is committed to the overall development of the state. He went on to say that this was Champaran's territory, the land that has made history. This land gave Gandhiji a fresh direction in his independence battle, and now, this area will serve as inspiration for Bihar's new future.
Economic power to Women
PM Modi stated that more than 3.5 crore women in Bihar had established bank accounts as part of the government's successes in women's empowerment. Over the previous year and a half, more than 24,000 self-help groups have received Rs 1,000 crore in aid. So far, more than 20 lakh 'lakhpati didis' have been established in Bihar.
New development centres to be built
Talking about expanding Bihar's cities in the same way that other big cities in India do, Prime Minister Modi stated, "It is our resolve that in the coming times, just as Mumbai is in West India, Motihari's name should shine in the East." Opportunities should be established in Gayaji in the same way that they exist in Gurugram. Patna should experience the same kind of industrial development that Pune has. Santhal Pargana should flourish in the same way that Surat does. New tourism records should be set in Jalpaiguri and Jajpur, just as they have in Jaipur.
People in Birbhum should progress in the same way that people in Bengaluru do. PM Modi stated that the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana has provided more homes to Bihar than the populations of Norway, New Zealand, and Singapore combined.
Upgradation in Bihar Railway
While presenting a long list of railway projects in Bihar, Prime Minister Modi stated that rail connectivity has been given special priority in programs costing more than Rs 7200 crore. The key schemes include the following:
Installation of an automatic signalling system on the Samastipur-Bachhwara railway line.
The railway lines from Darbhanga to Thalwara and Samastipur to Rambhadrapur would be doubled, costing more than Rs 580 crore in total.
Construction of dedicated infrastructure for Vande Bharat train maintenance in Patliputra.
Signalling and traction systems are being upgraded in the Bhatni-Chhapra rural section (114 kilometres).
Doubling the Darbhanga-Narkatiyaganj railway line is expected to cost roughly Rs 4,080 crore.
All of these plans will not only boost the number of trains but will also serve to connect Bihar's northern region with the rest of the country.
