The sand and liquor mafias have corroded Bihar’s economy, fuelled criminal politics, brought in a rural rot, and rendered its youth unemployable for at least a decade.
Bihar wants to go from sports underdog to medal powerhouse. It’s building stadiums, hiring coaches, and running a talent hunt in 40,000 schools — but it’s still battling decades of dysfunction.
The meet at the Government Engineering College was held under the aegis of the state’s Department of Science, Technology, and Technical Education (GEC).
Bihar’s civil engineers and surveyors are taking govt-mandated Kaithi crash courses to meet the 2025 land survey deadline. ‘Without learning it, the work can’t be done.’
Sushil Kumar Modi, former deputy CM, accused Nitish Kumar and his associates of ‘dividing Hindus along caste lines’ and ‘getting away with Muslim appeasement.’
Nitish says reservations for OBCs needs to be raised from 50% to 65%. For SCs & STs, which together account for 17% quota, he says limit should be raised to 22%.
Report based on the survey, placed before Bihar Assembly Tuesday, also shows that over 50 lakh Biharis live outside the state for livelihood & education.
The Bihar education department order stated that holidays had to be pared down to maintain 200 working days in primary schools and 220 in middle schools in accordance with RTE Act.
Bihar govt counsel says Centre's affidavit 'contemptuous' as it is in abrogation of an earlier apex court order in which Centre was directed to carry out caste-based survey in Kerala
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Excellent reportage. Kudos to Ms. Jyoti Yadav. Keep up the good work.
Bihar is indeed a cesspool. Always at the bottom across all HDI parameters. No wonder Biharis migrate to other cities and never come back.
The sad part is that once in a different state, say Delhi, they try their utmost to disown their Bihari identity. Most would not say that they hail from Bihar – such is the stigma associated with the state and it’s people.
Thanks to AASU and other such active organisations, Biharis are not really welcome in Assam. Otherwise, even Guwahati would have turned into a mini-Delhi.
I don’t think CM Nitish Kumar thinks any longer in such grandiloquent terms as creating a legacy. Author of the Prohibition policy, which he thought would create a national women’s constituency for his prime ministerial ambitions. Now down to ensuring that jab tak samose mein aaloo hai, he remains in the saddle.
