Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s office has issued firm instructions for the launch of Samriddhi Yatra on January 16, signaling an all-out assault on underdevelopment. This meticulously planned expedition aims to inject fresh momentum into the state’s welfare ecosystem.
The yatra, a roving festival of progress, will see the CM crisscrossing districts to unveil infrastructure marvels and fortify social safety nets. From bridge inaugurations to watershed management projects, every stop will highlight Bihar’s upward trajectory.
Directives to officials are unambiguous: prioritize beneficiary saturation in schemes like Ayushman Bharat and Ujjwala Yojana. Field teams are gearing up with data analytics tools to track real-time progress and address bottlenecks on the fly.
Bihar’s transformation under Nitish Kumar—from BIMARU status to a burgeoning economy—forms the backdrop. The yatra will celebrate milestones like doubled GSDP, reduced poverty indices, and booming industrial corridors in places like Hajipur and Falguni.
Community participation is woven into the fabric, with ‘Janata Darbars’ on wheels for instant justice delivery. Cultural soirées blending folk arts with development messaging will keep the energy high, fostering a sense of ownership among participants.
Economic ripple effects are anticipated, with local vendors and artisans set to benefit from the yatra’s passage. It’s also a scouting mission for investment opportunities in tourism, agro-processing, and renewable energy.
Critics and supporters alike acknowledge the yatra’s potential to galvanize public sentiment. In a state where politics and policy intertwine, this could be Nitish Kumar’s clarion call for continuity.
As official machinery hums with activity, the Samriddhi Yatra stands poised to illuminate Bihar’s path to enduring prosperity, one district at a time.
