Bihar Cabinet approves one crore jobs, employment opportunities in next five years
The Bihar cabinet on Tuesday (July 15, 2025) gave its nod for creation of new one crore jobs and employment opportunities in the state over the next five years by 2030. Giving approval to the Labour Resources Department's proposal, the cabinet set a target of creating new one crore jobs and employment opportunities over the period of five years between 2025-2030. The jobs & employment opportunities will be created both in government and private sector apart from firms/entrepreneurs getting aid in any form from the government, Cabinet Secretariat Department's Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) S Siddharth said at a post cabinet briefing in Patna. A total of 30 decisions were taken at the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. It also decided to set up a 12-member high level committee chaired by the Development Commissioner to give its suggestions to the government after considering all the possibilities and alternatives for the purpose. The committee will comprise of 11 department heads - Additional Chief Secretary/Principal Secretary/Secretary – of Finance, General Administration Department, Agriculture, Rural Development, Animal and Fish Resources, Industries, IT, Science & Technology, Education, Tourism and Labour Resources. Mr. Siddharth said that the decision would help the state's youths financially, besides giving a boost to investment that would in turn spur industrial activities. In another decision, the cabinet also decided to extend the benefit of the social security scheme to the non-corporate tax-payers who are residents of the state and their businesses are registered in the state. It approved the Commercial Taxes department's proposal 'Bihar Vyavsayi Durghatna Mrityu Anudan Yojana, 2025' (Bihar Businessmen Accident Death Scheme, 2025) in this regard, Mr. Siddharth said. As per the proposal, the state government would give ₹5 lakh as an ex-gratia to the next of kin of a businessman if he/she dies in an accident, provided the businessman is the resident of Bihar or has registered his business in the state. Apart from benefitting the state's businessmen, it would also cover the GST tax-payers. The cabinet also sanctioned ₹394.41 crore as grant in aid to secondary and higher secondary schools for payment of lump-sum amounts to teaching and non-teaching staff. Mr. Siddharth explained that after abolishing the unaided education policy, the government gives grants to such schools based on the number of students passed from the school in different divisions. It also sanctioned ₹179.37 crore for maintenance of the priority corridor of Patna Metro Rail Project for a period of two years and eight months (August 2025 and March 2028), Siddharth said and added that the sum would be paid to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. Besides, it also approved ₹21.15 crore for taking on rent the three-car single train set metro for a period of three years. The metro train is first expected to begin its service on the priority corridor on an elevated section between Malahi Pakri and New ISBT. The cabinet further decided to give a one-time honorarium of ₹6000 to 77,895 Booth Level Officer (BLO) and 8245 BLO Supervisors for carrying out Special Intensive Revision (SIR) electoral roll in the state. The cabinet sanctioned ₹51.68 crore for the purpose. The cabinet also sanctioned an estimated ₹7832.29 crore for expansion, renovation and modernisation work of Western Kosi Canal Project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of March 2029. On the completion of the project, it is expected to benefit 16 blocks of Darbhanga district and 20 blocks of Madhubani district. The project's cultural command area (Krishi Yogya Command Kshetra) is 2,15,672 hectare and annual irrigation capacity is 2,91,158. The cabinet approved the finance department's proposal for payment of 30% of basic salary to the Bomb Disposal Squad personnel, subject to the maximum payment of ₹25,000 per month. It also approved a proposal to give an annual increment to the officers of Bihar Judicial Service with effect from January 01, 2016 on the lines of state government employees. Mr. Siddharth added that the cabinet also approved ₹5119 crore for the development of Munger (Safiyabad)-Bariyarpur-Ghorghat-Sultanganj (42 km) and ₹4849 crore for Sultanganj-Bhagalpur-Sabour(40.80 km) under Ganga Path Project that will be executed on Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM).
