By enhancing both physical and social infrastructure, these projects represent a commitment to accelerating development in Bihar and ensuring balanced regional growth. The Centre’s focus on infrastructure aligns with its national agenda of fostering connectivity and economic resilience through strategic investments in key sectors.

The government aims for these projects to play a pivotal role in transforming Bihar’s socio-economic landscape, creating better access to essential services, and fostering sustainable development for millions of residents in the state.
