नीतीश कुमार ने बदला पटना का चेहरा: 9200 करोड़ की सड़क परियोजनाओं का कमाल!

2005 से पहले पटना अपनी खस्ताहाल सड़कों और गड्ढों के लिए बदनाम था। यात्रा की दूरी किलोमीटर में नहीं, बल्कि घंटों में मापी जाती थी। खराब सड़कें और कनेक्टिविटी की कमी ने न केवल लोगों को परेशान किया, बल्कि बिहार की अर्थव्यवस्था पर भी नकारात्मक प्रभाव डाला। लेकिन नीतीश कुमार के नेतृत्व में बिहार नीतीश कुमार सरकार पटना सड़क परियोजनाएं लागत उद्घाटन 2005-2025 ने शहर का चेहरा बदल दिया। पिछले चार वर्षों…

Why Bihar Still Struggles at the Bottom of India’s Development Index

Bihar’s story is not just one of poverty and backwardness; it is also one of resilience and potential. Yet, despite high economic growth rates, the state remains one of the least developed in India. The problem isn’t just numbers—it is a history of neglect, policy missteps, and a lack of industrialization that has kept Bihar from realizing its full potential.

Asif Ahmad: A Young Entrepreneur from Bihar

Bihar, the state I proudly call home, has long faced significant challenges in key areas such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Growing up in Bihar, I personally witnessed the struggles of talented individuals forced to leave their home state in search of better opportunities. This experience became the driving force behind my mission to transform Bihar into a thriving hub where every individual—no matter their background—can achieve their full potential without having to migrate for a better life. Over the years, I have focused on addressing some of Bihar’s most pressing issues: limited access to quality education, a shortage of healthcare services, and the need for sustainable infrastructure.

Education: A Cornerstone for Empowerment

Education has always been at the heart of my vision for Bihar. As a young person here, I saw the immense potential in our youth but recognized the stark gap in access to quality education. Many young people had to leave Bihar to pursue their academic goals, and this migration was a barrier to both personal growth and regional development. After returning to India from my studies abroad, I focused on strengthening local institutions like Madhubani Medical College and the Madhubani Institute of Nursing & Paramedical Sciences. These institutions provide world-class education in Bihar, offering opportunities for local youth to thrive in their home state. By training students locally, particularly in healthcare, we aim to ensure that Bihar retains its brightest minds and creates a sustainable environment for them to contribute meaningfully to the state’s growth.

Healthcare: Making Healthcare Accessible and Affordable

Access to quality healthcare has been another critical issue I’ve worked to address. Growing up in rural Bihar, I saw firsthand how families struggled to access basic medical services. The nearest healthcare facilities were often far away, and the cost of treatment was prohibitive for many. The shortage of trained medical professionals was also a major barrier to care. In 2019, I became deeply involved with Madhubani Medical College, which offers an MBBS program and is attached to a 600-bed hospital providing affordable treatment. With consultation fees as low as Rs 30 and room charges just Rs 150 per day, the hospital aims to make quality healthcare accessible to everyone. But this initiative is about more than just addressing immediate needs; it’s about building a self-sustaining healthcare infrastructure that can serve future generations of Biharis.

Infrastructure: Building the Foundation for Growth

For Bihar to truly prosper, modernization of its infrastructure is essential. This includes building reliable roads, improving transportation networks, and upgrading utilities. As part of Astaus India Pvt Ltd, the company I co-founded, we are working on various infrastructure projects aimed at improving connectivity, boosting the local economy, and enhancing the quality of life for Bihar’s residents. From eco-friendly construction to sustainable urban planning, we are committed to creating modern infrastructure that supports long-term economic growth and ensures Bihar can compete with more developed regions.

Creating an Ecosystem of Opportunity

Beyond education, healthcare, and infrastructure, my broader vision for Bihar is to foster an environment of opportunity, particularly for its youth. By focusing on entrepreneurship, job creation, and economic empowerment, I want Bihar to become a state where young people don’t feel the need to leave for better opportunities. Supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses is key to creating a thriving, self-sustaining economy. This will encourage innovation, generate employment, and help the state build an ecosystem that empowers its citizens.

A Broader Mission: Empowering India

While Bihar will always be at the center of my efforts, I also recognize that the challenges of education and healthcare are not unique to this state. That’s why I am also working on initiatives outside Bihar, such as the establishment of Kashmir Medical College, the first private medical college in the region. By addressing disparities in education and healthcare across India, my broader mission is to create an equitable system that benefits all citizens, regardless of where they live.

Looking Ahead: A Brighter Future for Bihar

Looking to the future, I envision a Bihar that thrives—a state where every individual has the opportunity to succeed, where youth can find fulfilling careers at home, and where accessible healthcare and modern infrastructure support the overall well-being of the population. I believe that with the right investments in sustainable development, a focus on innovation, and collaboration across all sectors, Bihar can become a leader in economic and social progress in India. The journey will take time, but with each step, we are laying the foundation for a more prosperous and equitable future. Bihar’s transformation is not just a dream; it is a vision I am committed to making a reality, one initiative at a time.

India's Historic Leap: World's Tallest Railway Bridge Inaugurated in J&K, Kashmir Gets First Vande Bharat

On a landmark day for Indian infrastructure, PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the world’s highest railway arch bridge over the Chenab River in Jammu & Kashmir, standing even taller than the Eiffel Tower. Alongside this, Kashmir witnessed a major milestone with the flagging off of its first Vande Bharat Express, connecting Katra to Srinagar — a first-of-its-kind rail link for the Valley.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi sharpened his attack in Bihar, demanding a nationwide caste census and the scrapping of the 50% cap on reservations. With assembly polls around the corner, the Congress leader’s visit marks his fifth to the state in just five months.

In economic news, the RBI slashed the repo rate by 0.50% for the third time this year, bringing it to 5.5%. Gold loan limits were also increased. On the health front, rising COVID-19 cases have prompted states like Odisha to reintroduce masking rules in schools.

PM Modi’s ‘Jungle Raj’ dig at RJD, Congress in Bihar: Top quotes from Siwan rally

In another series of attacks, PM Modi alleged that the RJD, Congress are against the investment and development of Bihar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a public meeting, in Siwan, Bihar. (PTI)

Ahead of the Bihar assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday took a swipe at Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo and former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav and the Congress party while addressing a rally in Bihar’s Siwan.

Top quotes from PM Modi’s speech:

📌“Bihar became a symbol of poverty under the rule of ‘Panja’ (Congress) and ‘Laltern’ (RJD)… They looted so much that poverty became Bihar’s misfortune”

📌“RJD and Congress actions are anti-Bihar and anti-investment. Whenever they talk about development, people see locks hanging on shops, businesses, industries and trades… These people have been the nurturers of poor infrastructure, mafia raj, gunda raj, and corruption…”

📌“The NDA government has brought Bihar back on the path of development”

📌”The people of Bihar have ended ‘jungle raj’ created by Congress, RJD.”

📌 “Those who brought ‘jungle raj’ to Bihar are looking for an opportunity to repeat their old deeds somehow. People who are ready to put the brake on the journey towards a prosperous Bihar have to be kept at bay,” he said.

📌”Congress’s ‘License Raj’ kept Bihar poor for a long time… the Dalit and backwards communities were the biggest victims of this. Some families became millionaires and billionaires by showing these people false dreams of being free from poverty…”

📌”RJD insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar, people of Bihar will never forgive its leaders”

📌 “We say ‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas’ but RJD believes in ‘parivaar ka vikas'”

The PM launched 28 development projects worth more than Rs 5,900 crore. He inaugurated the new Vaishali–Deoria railway line project, built at a cost of over Rs 400 crore, and flagged off a new train service on this route. Additionally, in a major boost to connectivity in north Bihar, Modi also flagged off the Vande Bharat Express between Patliputra (Patna) and Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) via Muzaffarpur and Bettiah.

Bihar News: भागलपुर में ओवरब्रिज या ओवरडिले? डेडलाइन पार, भोलानाथ ROB अब भी अधूरा

भागलपुर शहर की उम्मीदों से जुड़ा भोलानाथ आरओबी दो साल में भी अधूरा है. तय डेडलाइन 20 जून को खत्म हो चुकी है, लेकिन पुल का ढांचा अब तक तैयार नहीं हो सका है. सिर्फ 76% फाउंडेशन और 16% सुपर स्ट्रक्चर ही बना है. रेलवे की मंजूरी और भूमि अधिग्रहण की अड़चनों ने इस प्रोजेक्ट को ठप कर दिया है. सवाल उठ रहा है कि बिना GAD अप्रूवल के टेंडर क्यों दिया गया? अब टाइम एक्सटेंशन की बात चल रही है, लेकिन पुल कब…

Transforming Lives Through Philanthropy

I am deeply committed to philanthropic efforts that address the pressing challenges of education, healthcare, and social welfare, particularly in Bihar. Through the Milli Trust, I strive to empower marginalized communities, ensuring they have access to opportunities that can transform their lives.

Healthcare Accessibility Healthcare remains a core pillar of my efforts, with a special focus on underserved rural areas. Free health camps, blood donation drives, and preventive healthcare awareness programs have become essential tools in bridging the healthcare gap. These camps provide crucial medical services to remote communities, offering diagnosis, medicines, and expert advice to those with limited access to hospitals. Blood donation drives not only address critical shortages but also build a sense of responsibility among participants. Meanwhile, preventive healthcare programs educate individuals on hygiene, nutrition, and early illness detection, ensuring healthier communities in the long run.

Education as Empowerment I believe education is fundamental to breaking the cycle of poverty. Through a network of schools and colleges under the Milli Trust, we deliver quality education to children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Vocational training programs further empower youth with skills that improve their employability, setting them on a path toward economic independence.

Social Welfare and Infrastructure Development Recognizing the broader needs of vulnerable communities, I also focus on initiatives that strengthen rural infrastructure and provide financial assistance to struggling families. By addressing these foundational issues, we aim to uplift entire communities and create sustainable pathways for progress.

These philanthropic initiatives are not just programs but a reflection of my belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can shape a better tomorrow for Bihar and beyond.
