Job promises rain down in poll-bound Bihar. But what does the pursuit of one look like?

IT'S THE weekend, and Patna's Gandhi Maidan area is buzzing with thousands of youths from across Bihar. Their destination is the nearby Gyan Bhawan, more specifically a 'Maha Rojgar Mela (Grand Job Fair)' organised by the Indian Youth Congress (IYC). As the gates of the building swing open, the applicants rush in, collecting forms and making small huddles in the auditorium itself to fill them out. Once they have completed the forms, they join long queues snaking into the main hall. Inside, half the space is reserved for candidates awaiting interviews, while the other half has 199 stalls set up by 190 private companies, including household names such as Flipkart, Paytm, Hitachi, Tech Mahindra, Tata Alliance, Voltas, Zepto, and Aditya Birla. The youths make a beeline for these stalls, holding their registration forms, academic certificates, and resumes in hand. Among the multitude is 24-year-old Jyotish Kumar, who hopes the job fair is the answer to his 'financial problems'. Belonging to a village in Madhepura district, Kumar arrived in Patna first in 2019, seeking better education options and coaching for NEET. However, months later, his father was killed, while his mother, too, lost her job when the Centre's 'Sakshar Bharat Mission' for adult literacy wrapped up. Kumar went back, giving up on his dreams of becoming a doctor, and pursued a BSc in Zoology from Madhepura University. Now saddled with a Rs 3 lakh loan, he is back in Patna to support his mother. Though his first preference is a job in Bihar, he says he will move if needed. The story plays out across the hall. Md Mahbubur Rahman, 26, says he is an economics graduate from Saharsa, with an additional Bachelor of Library and Information Science degree, and certificates showing he has computer knowledge. It is an impressive resume, particularly as none of his siblings went past intermediate. However, that has not got Rahman the job he needs. So he is now pursuing another qualification: a BEd. 'I have been applying for government jobs since passing matric (Class 10) in 2015, and am now trying my luck in the private sector,' he says. Recently, he tried his luck for a government peon's post, despite his educational qualifications, Rahman says. With his large family including his parents, three brothers and two sisters, Rahman also tutors kids on the side to earn a little money. Trying to push through a crowd near a stall, Rahman says: 'Since there are no jobs in our family, our lives are stuck. Marriage prospects are also an issue.' The unemployment question is central to the discourse in Bihar as Assembly elections near. Political parties are trying to outdo each other with promises of job creation. With the RJD hoping its promises in this regard will work for it like they did in the 2000 elections, Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar has also jumped in, vowing to create 1 crore jobs in the next five years. The job fair held by its Youth Congress is part of the Congress's push in this regard, including a 'Palayan Roko, Naukri Do (stop migration, give jobs) Yatra' it held in March. The numbers show why the promise of jobs resonates so much with voters. The Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) for July-September 2024, which contains data only for urban areas, puts Bihar's unemployment rate for those aged above 15 at 7.3%, which is above the national average of 6.4%, and for those aged 15-29 years at 23.2%, well above the national average of 15.9% and the sixth worst among the states. When it comes to the labour force participation rate (a measure of the share of the working-age population actively working or seeking work), Bihar has the worst figures in the country in the above 15 years and the 15-29 years categories. As per the 2011 Census data, the corollary is that Bihar ranks second among states in out-migration, beaten only by Uttar Pradesh. Rahman expects to join the migrant ranks. 'My father keeps telling us to try for jobs outside Bihar… After my I'll see.' Rahul Bansal, who has travelled three hours from Khagaria for the fair, says that all 'good jobs' are outside the state, which is also a problem for people like him. 'Even here at the mela, most of the location options are in other states. But in cities such as Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru, the expenses alone would eat up the entire salary. So, I prefer something here,' says the 29-year-old. While Rahman argues that Nitish Kumar's long tenure at the helm of the state has not benefited the youth, citing the leak of several exam question papers, 26-year-old Sagar Shan disagrees, talking about the recruitment of 'over 4 lakh teachers and 1 lakh constables alone'. From Nitish's native district of Nalanda, Shah has himself been trying for a government job since 2019. IYC national president Uday Bhanu Chib told The Indian Express that the Patna job fair saw 48,000 registrations, with more than 20,000 candidates interviewed, and 7,000 receiving job letters on the spot. Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru said the rush exposed the NDA government's 'false assurances' to the youth. 'We are providing them jobs so that they can achieve their dreams. Unemployment in Bihar is not just a number, but is about a long wait.' Congress spokesperson Gyan Ranjan Gupta added that if the IYC could facilitate so many jobs, 'imagine how many lakhs of jobs we will provide in Bihar itself when we come to power'. Asked about the Congress claims, JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said, 'The amount of government employment provided in Bihar under Nitish ji's leadership is the reason why Bihar is ahead in the nation today in areas such as the student-to-teacher ratio and women's participation in the police force. The Congress, which now wants to bring 'Company Raj' here, should look at their own rule. When they were in power in Rajasthan, question papers were leaked 15 times.' Not surprisingly, not everyone went away happy from the Patna Maha Rojgar Mela. 'I rejected an offer of a Rs 20,000 sales job in Pune,' Patna resident Md Shabanul Haqe, 28, who did his MBA from Kolkata, says. 'After an expensive MBA, how can I manage in another city on this salary? Even non-graduates earn Rs 10,000-12,000 doing odd jobs.'

2025 Renault Triber launched in India with fresh design and 21 standard safety features: Price, variants and more

Renault India has launched the latest iteration of its Triber, a compact MPV known for its versatile seating configuration. The updated model is positioned as part of the company's broader brand transformation strategy under the 'Renault Rethink' initiative and comes with a host of design upgrades, new features, and safety enhancements. Visual updates Visually, the new Triber sports a redesigned front fascia, including a fresh grille, a sculpted bonnet, and updated front and rear bumpers. It also features new LED projector headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights, LED fog lamps, and revamped LED tail lamps. These design changes extend to a new set of dual-tone 'landscape' 15-inch Flex wheels and additional exterior colour options, bringing the total to six monotone and three dual-tone paint schemes. Interior and features Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with a dual-tone dashboard and an 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. New upholstery options, an LED instrument cluster, LED interior lighting, and blacked-out interior door handles aim to provide a more modern in-cabin experience. Independent air conditioning vents for the second and third rows continue to be offered. Renault has retained the Triber's key selling point, its modularity. The MPV supports over 100 seating configurations, including Easy-Fix third-row seats that enable the car to function as a 5-, 6-, or 7-seater. With the third row removed, the Triber offers up to 625 litres of boot space. Other practical features include a 23-litre interior storage area, a ground clearance of 182mm, and roof rails with a load capacity of up to 50kg. The new Triber is now available in four variants: Authentic, Evolution, Techno, and Emotion. All variants are powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine that delivers 72 PS at 6250 rpm and 96 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission is offered across the range, while the top-end Emotion variant also comes with a five-speed Easy-R automated manual transmission (AMT).

A front parking sensor has also been introduced—claimed to be the first in this segment. All seats come with 3-point seat belts, and ISOFIX child seat anchors are standard. Additional comfort features include automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, and welcome-goodbye sequences with auto-folding outside rear-view mirrors. A 'belonging take away' reminder has also been added as a small yet useful convenience feature. Pricing in India The starting price for the updated Triber is ₹6,29,995 (ex-showroom), with the top-end AMT variant priced at ₹9,16,995. Renault has also announced that the vehicle is available with government-approved CNG retrofitment kits and will be covered by a 3-year standard warranty, which can be extended to 7 years under the Renault Secure programme.
