Patna, Bihar: In a bold declaration ahead of the upcoming state budget presentation, Bihar’s Finance Minister Dilip Jaiswal has promised that this year’s financial plan will be a game-changer for the state’s aspirations. ‘This budget will fulfill the dreams of a developed Bihar,’ Jaiswal asserted, setting high expectations among the populace eagerly awaiting transformative policies.
Jaiswal’s statement comes at a time when Bihar grapples with persistent challenges in infrastructure, education, and employment. The minister emphasized that the budget will prioritize sectors critical to the state’s growth trajectory. Massive investments in road networks, rural electrification, and industrial corridors are on the anvil, he revealed during a press briefing in the state capital.
‘We are committed to turning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat into reality at the grassroots level in Bihar,’ Jaiswal said. The budget is expected to allocate substantial funds for skill development programs targeting the youth, who form a significant portion of Bihar’s demographic dividend.
Highlighting the government’s focus on agriculture, the finance minister announced plans for modern irrigation projects and crop insurance enhancements to shield farmers from climatic uncertainties. Healthcare infrastructure will see a major boost with new medical colleges and upgraded primary health centers across districts.
Opposition parties have welcomed the rhetoric but remain skeptical, demanding concrete figures and timelines. As the budget session approaches, all eyes are on whether Jaiswal can deliver on his ambitious promises. For the millions of Biharis dreaming of progress, this budget represents hope for a brighter future.
