The Union Budget 2025, shown by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has made many big plans to change Bihar before its assembly vote this year. From building roads to better schools, Bihar has gained a lot in this year’s budget, with a focus on strong growth and share for the region.
New airport and better links
One key plan is to build new airports in Bihar. This step is set to help travel in the state a lot, making it easy for locals and visitors to move around while also boosting trade and fun in the area.
Big budget boost for Bihar in Union Budget 2025
Schools in Bihar will get help from the growth of IIT Patna. This rise in a top school will give more chances for students and help the state bring in innovative minds and new ideas. The government has also shared plans to start a National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Management in Bihar. This school wants to back the food sector in East India, giving skills and help to new business owners in the area.
Makhana board to aid local farmers
To help local farmers, especially those growing Makhana, the government has set up a Makhana Board in Bihar. This board will work on better ways to grow, process, and sell Makhana, which is a well-liked local item. Farmers will also get lessons and help to use government schemes well.
Western Kosi Canal project
The Western Kosi Canal, which helps the Mithilanchal area in Bihar, will get money from this year’s budget. The goal is to aid 50,000 hectares of farmland, helping farmers and raising the state’s food output.
A cultural spark from Bihar
In a nice move, Nirmala Sitharaman wore an off-white handloom Madhubani silk saree given to her by local artist Dulari Devi. This act shines a light on Bihar’s rich culture, especially its well-known Madhubani art from the Mithila area.
Looking back: Last year’s news
Last year’s budget also had many big plans for Bihar, like the building of expressways that link Patna to Purnea, Buxar to Bhagalpur, and Bodhgaya to Darbhanga, with a budget of ₹2,600 crore. Also, new projects like a bridge over the Ganga in Buxar and a 2,400 MW power plant in Bhagalpur were shared. The government set aside ₹11,500 crore for flood help to shield Bihar from the harm that floods bring each year.
Conclusion
The news in Union Budget 2025 shows the government’s plan for Bihar’s growth and change. With a strong look at roads, schools, farms, and culture, these moves are set to leave a long mark on the state, making it a key part of India’s growth tale. As Bihar moves toward its assembly elections later this year, these steps are set to be a big part of the state’s path forward.
