Patna: State govt will spend Rs 29.87 crore on opening integrated centres of Bihar Foundation in 10 cities, including Surat, Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Coimbatore and Guwahati, said deputy CM Samrat Choudhary here on Monday.
A new chapter of Bihar Foundation will also be opened in Oman, he said. Samrat said this chapter will play an important role in promoting the cultural heritage of Bihar at the global level as well as in the economic, social and industrial development of the state.
He said the formation of Oman chapter is a concrete step towards establishing a bridge between the state and the migrant Biharis.
The deputy CM said these centres will provide information about Bihar's art, culture, crafts, textiles, tourism and industrial schemes as well as promote the state as an investment destination at the international level.
These centres will work in coordination with international Indian trade organisations, he added.
He said budget provision has been made keeping in mind the minimum human resources and other requirements for the operation of these centres.
Samrat said apart from these centres, a total of 30 chapters of Bihar Foundation located in India and abroad (14 in India and 16 abroad) will be connected through a virtual dialogue programme in three phases.
In the first phase, chapters in the USA, New Zealand, Canada; in the second phase, the UAE, Sydney, Bahrain, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, United Kingdom and the Netherlands will be connected through a dialogue programme. In the third phase, chapters located in Chennai, Goa, Gujarat, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune, Varanasi, Chandigarh, Gurugram, Siliguri, Sikkim and Guwahati will be connected, he said.
These dialogue programmes will give an opportunity to the overseas Biharis associated with Bihar Foundation to share their role and experience, which will give a new direction to the global identity of the state, Samrat said.
