Bihar
- Bihar plans a fresh teacher recruitment drive for about 45,000 posts through BPSC.
- The state says teacher hiring has already crossed 2.58 lakh through BPSC since 2023.
- Total government teacher strength has now reached about 5.24 lakh, which shows the scale of Bihar teacher recruitment.
- Bihar will receive 25 lakh free LPG connections under PM Ujjwala Yojana.
- The aim is to move families from firewood and coal to clean cooking fuel.
- Bihar still has a big rural gap in clean fuel use.
- Clean cooking can cut harmful kitchen smoke and save women’s time.
- Fast rollout needs simple paperwork, quick checks, and safe use training.
- Long-term success depends on affordable LPG refills.
- Bihar has picked about 14,000 new spots for zebra crossings and fresh paint.
- The state already has about 9,500 zebra crossings, so the total could reach about 23,500.
- Most proposed spots come from the Rural Works Department (12,858), plus 342 from the Road Construction Department and 88 from NHAI.
- The focus areas include schools, hospitals, markets, busy junctions, and crash “black spots”.
- Official crash data shows pedestrians face very high risk, so better crossings can save lives.
- Bihar wants to grow as a Bihar tech hub in eastern India.
- It plans big projects, like a defence corridor and a fintech city.
- It also plans two Special Economic Zone (SEZ) sites of about 125 acres each.
- A second top group will track a “global back-end hub” plan.
- Better online approvals can make investment faster and simpler.
- Investors showed strong interest in the Bihar film city project in a key meeting in Patna.
- Chief Secretary Pratyay Amrit said the goal is a green film city with world-class facilities.
- The film city in Bihar will support studios, post-production, and media business centres.
- The project should boost jobs, tourism, and branding for the Bihar movie industry.
- The plan links with Bihar film policy and a push to build a film production hub in Bihar.
- Bihar has received investment proposals worth about ₹1.05 lakh crore.
- A total of 4,004 projects have come to the Industries Department.
- Around 3,291 proposals have got first-phase approval from SIPB Bihar.
- About 1,078 projects now have full financial approval.
- These plans may create nearly 38,488 direct jobs in the state.
- Current projects represent about ₹29,756 crore of Bihar industrial investment.
- Financially approved projects alone add ₹11,964 crore more in planned spending.
- The state has released about ₹2,085 crore in grants and incentives so far.
- 861 industrial units are already working on the ground.
- The government aims to make Bihar an innovation and industry hub with 1 crore jobs in five years.
- Only about 7% of urban roads in Bihar are four-lane or wider.
- Most city roads are still single or narrow two-lane stretches.
- Just 28% of national highways in Bihar are four-lane or above.
- Bihar has only 4.54 km of national highways per one lakh people, far below the national average.
- The network is growing, but Bihar road infrastructure still lags behind its needs.
- Urban homes in Bihar will get cheaper grid power from April 2026, if the new plan is approved.
- A typical city family uses around 200–225 units of power every month.
- From July 2025, up to 125 units per month are free for domestic users.
- With the new one slab power tariff, many families can get extra electricity bill savings of about ₹140 a month on 100 paid units.
- The number of urban Bihar electricity connections is already above 35 lakh and growing fast.
- The NDA won 202 of 243 seats in the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, a huge win over the INDIA/Mahagathbandhan bloc.
- BJP became the single largest party with 89 seats, while JD(U) won 85 and LJP(R) added 19 seats to the tally.
- The INDIA bloc collapsed in the state, with RJD cut down to 25 seats and Congress pushed to just 6.
- Nitish Kumar is set to become Chief Minister for the 10th time, making his long rule over Bihar even stronger.
- This win is close to NDA’s historic 2010 sweep, which had given the JD(U)–BJP combine 206 seats.
- Many voters, especially women and welfare scheme beneficiaries, backed the NDA’s mix of “development plus support” politics.
- Better seat-sharing and coordination inside the NDA also helped, while the opposition alliance struggled with unity and credibility.
- The big question now is whether this strong mandate can turn into real gains in jobs, industry, and lower migration from Bihar.
