Patna, December 12, 2025: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday visited Nawada district and conducted an extensive review of various ongoing development projects.
The Chief Minister’s visit covered education, women’s empowerment, health infrastructure, renewable energy, fisheries, and industrial development.
Nitish Kumar interacted with students at Chiraila village school:
Nitish Kumar first visited the Upgraded Higher Secondary (+ 2) School campus in Chiraila village, Hardiya Panchayat, under Rajauli block. He inspected the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Boys’ Hostel and interacted with the students to understand the academic environment and the facilities available to them.
He also met girls undergoing training on the school premises and encouraged them to stay focused on their studies.
“You are the future of India. The government will meet all your needs. Study diligently and move ahead,” the Chief Minister told the students, who responded with applause.
The Chief Minister inspected stalls set up by various departments, including the Social Welfare Department, Education Department, and Jeevika groups. He contributed a symbolic worth of Rs 1.29 crore to 137 Jeevika Self-Help Groups, reflecting loans facilitated through banks.
Praising the Jeevika Didis for their efforts, he said, “Your hard work is contributing significantly to the rapid improvement of Bihar’s economic landscape. The government ensures that your needs are met on time, and any future requirements will also be fulfilled.”
In response, the Jeevika Didis thanked the Chief Minister and said that self-help groups had strengthened their confidence and financial independence. They also expressed gratitude for welfare initiatives such as.
Increasing monthly pensions for the elderly, disabled, and widows from Rs 400 to Rs 1,100
Supplying clean Ganga water to every home
Enhancing the honorarium of Anganwadi workers, assistants, and ASHA workers
Inspection of health facilities:
At the Health Sub-Centre-cum-Health and Wellness Centre in Hardiya, Nitish Kumar reviewed available medical facilities, the supply of medicines, and doctor deployment. Health officials informed him about the availability of telemedicine services and awareness programs under the Maternity Protection Campaign, where pregnant women are guided on nutrition and essential health practices.
Beneficiaries also thanked the Chief Minister for doubling the honorarium of physical education and health instructors from Rs 8,000 to Rs 16,000.
Review of floating solar plant and fish farming:
The Chief Minister then inspected the progress of the 10-megawatt floating solar plant being installed at the Phulwaria Reservoir in Rajauli, developed on the model of “Upar Bijli, Neeche Machli” (electricity above, fish below).
Officials informed him that Phulwaria Reservoir spans 30 acres.
It serves as the source for the Rajauli Multi-Village water Supply Scheme, which purifies reservoir water due to fluoride-rich groundwater in the region.
A modern fish farming model with 182 fish cages has been implemented.
Nitish Kumar also inspected the land identified for setting up an industrial development area near Phulwaria Reservoir. Officials briefed him that 220 acres of land are available and that connectivity will make transportation convenient for future industries.
