Speaking as the chief guest at the 116th foundation day celebrations of Patna Law College, Choudhary expressed the hope that Bihar would regain its lost glory in the field of education, as the students are already carving a niche for themselves in different spheres.
He assured the seventh-oldest legal institution in the country, which has produced at least two chief justices of the apex court, as well as a galaxy of legal luminaries over the years, that it would be provided with all sorts of help at the state govt level.
He also assured the Patna University vice-chancellor that he would fulfill his dream project of developing PU's second campus at Saidpur at an estimated cost of Rs 700 crore.
"Efforts should be made to ensure the institution's accreditation by NAAC with 'A' grade," he said.
Law College principal Yogendra Kumar Verma, in his welcome address, drew the attention of the minister towards the constraints plaguing the proper development of the college and requested him to use his good offices in sanctioning a building construction grant worth Rs 92 crore from the govt.
PU vice-chancellor Ajay Kumar Singh and Patliputra University vice-chancellor Upendra Prasad Singh also addressed the students on the occasion. Law College teacher Salem Jawed proposed a vote of thanks.

Need of the hour to revise creamy layer income ceiling for OBCs: Parliamentary panel
NEW DELHI: A parliamentary committee looking into the welfare of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) has said it was the "need of the hour" to revise the creamy layer income ceiling, saying the limit is excluding a large section of eligible OBC families from reservation benefits and government welfare schemes. In its eighth report presented to Parliament on Friday, the panel noted that the last revision of the income threshold from Rs 6.5 lakh to Rs 8 lakh per annum was carried out in 2017. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) rules require the ceiling to be reviewed every three years or sooner, if needed. "The present threshold is low, covering only a small segment of OBCs," the panel, chaired by BJP MP Ganesh Singh, said, adding inflation and rising incomes in even lower income groups had made an upward revision the "need of the hour". "The Committee is aware of the fact that the income limit for determining creamy layer for OBCs should be reviewed every three years or even before the stipulated period. However, the same has not been revised since 2017," it said. "The Committee, therefore, in no uncertain words, reiterate their recommendation for reviewing and accordingly revising the present creamy layer threshold limit to cover more and more persons from the OBCs as this would eventually help in raising their socio-economic condition to a satisfactory level," the panel said. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, however, told the committee that "there is no proposal under consideration" to revise the creamy layer limit. Another unresolved issue flagged by the panel is the absence of equivalence between posts in autonomous bodies and government positions for determining creamy layer status. The report said the lack of such equivalence has led to qualified OBC candidates, including those who cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination, being denied service allocation because their parents' salaries were counted without considering post equivalence.

IPL player trade and transfer: Full list of biggest deals in Indian Premier League history
The Indian Premier League (IPL) player trade deals and transfers have always spurred interest and curiosity, for the logic and reasoning behind certain player movements from franchises may not always find sound backing from the team's fan base. Throughout the course of the last 16 years, the IPL has seen several player trades and transfers as part of player-to-player swap deals that has impacted the involved franchises heavily the following season. Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has now dominated the trade talks post the IPL 2025 season. The Indian Express had reported that it has been learnt that the India wicketkeeper-batter has indeed expressed his interest to the Royals to leave the franchise before the 2026 edition. Samson's potential move could indeed further shake up the IPL trade dynamics and rank among the biggest trades in IPL history, involving an Indian player alongside Hardik Pandya's stunning homecoming in 2024 from the Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians in a Rs 15 crore deal. Former India cricketers Zaheer Khan, Robin Uthappa, Ashish Nehra and Shikhar Dhawan were involved in the first major IPL trade deals in 2009. Zaheer and Uthappa were involved in a swap deal between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians, with the latter moving to the RCB camp. Meanwhile, Dhawan moved from MI to Delhi Daredevils in exchange for Nehra's services. Samson's rumoured move has been watched with interest by the Chennai Super Kings, although at least one more team would be interested in initiating such a move.
