Following the formation of the new NDA government in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar initiated the ‘Samriddhi Yatra’ to assess the progress of development projects and welfare schemes in the state. The yatra commenced from Bettiah, the district headquarters of West Champaran.
On the first day of the march, CM Kumar laid the foundation stones for 125 development projects worth Rs 153 crore and inaugurated 36 projects worth Rs 29 crore. An official program at Ramna Maidan in Bettiah marked the beginning of this initiative.
“The objective of this journey is to accelerate development work and elevate Bihar into the category of the most developed states in the country, thereby improving the lives of its people,” stated the Chief Minister. Detailing the day’s activities, Kumar mentioned inspecting various development projects in West Champaran, laying foundation stones for 125 projects, and inaugurating 36 projects. He also visited the Chanpatia industrial area at Kumarbagh, interacting with entrepreneurs and emphasizing support for them.
Meetings with district officials were conducted to review schemes and projects being implemented by various departments. Kumar emphasized the importance of timely and effective completion of development works with full commitment and sensitivity. Following the review meeting, the Chief Minister engaged in a public interaction program at Ramna Maidan in Bettiah, interacting with local residents and inaugurating and laying foundation stones for several projects.
The ‘Samriddhi Yatra’ was launched after the NDA’s significant victory in the Assembly elections held in November last year. As part of this initiative, CM Nitish Kumar will tour all districts of Bihar to evaluate ongoing development works and welfare schemes, inaugurating or laying foundation stones for new projects during the tour.
