Bihar Cabinet okays ₹882.87 cr for developing temple at Sita's birthplace
The Bihar government on Tuesday approved more than ₹882 crore for the overall development of 'Punaura Dham Janki Mandir', a Hindu pilgrimage site in Sitamarhi district that is considered the birthplace of Goddess Sita. The state Cabinet decided at a meeting chaired by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday. "I am extremely delighted to inform that the state Cabinet on Tuesday approved a comprehensive plan, worth ₹882.87 crore, for the overall development of Punaura Dham, the birthplace of goddess Sita (Janaki), in Sitamarhi district. The plan includes the construction of a grand temple and other structures," Kumar posted on X soon after the meeting. According to the proposal of the state Tourism department, which was approved by the Cabinet, around ₹137 crore will be spent on the renovation of the old Punaura Dham Janki Mandir and ₹728 crore for the development of tourist infrastructure around the temple. The remaining amount will be spent on the maintenance of the infrastructure for ten years. "The foundation stone of the project will be laid in August. Officials have been instructed in this regard. We are committed to completing the construction of the grand temple in Punaura Dham, Sitamarhi, at the earliest. The comprehensive development will be carried out on the lines of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra, Ayodhya. The construction of the grand temple of Mata Janaki in Punaura Dham is a matter of pride for the people of the country and especially for the people of Bihar," the CM said. Earlier, the state Cabinet had approved the appointment of Noida-based private firm - M/s Design Associates Inc - as design consultant for the development of the temple. It is the same firm which is the Consultant for Master Planning & Architectural Services of the 'Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas' temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya. A large number of pilgrims, domestic as well as from outside the country, visit the 'Punaura Dham', which is about 5 km west of Sitamarhi district. Under the new development plan, the state government will develop 'Sita-Vatika', 'Luv-Kush Vatika', construct a 'parikrama path', display kiosks, a cafeteria and playing areas for children. All connecting roads to the pilgrim site will also be developed. Besides, thematic gates and parking areas are being constructed around the pilgrim site.

Andhra Pradesh launches ‘Digi-Lakshmi' scheme to empower urban poor women
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has launched the 'Digi-Lakshmi' scheme to digitally empower urban poor women by establishing 9,034 Common Service Centres (CSCs) across all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the State. The G.O. MS. No. 117 in this regard was issued by S. Suresh Kumar, Principal Secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) on Monday (June 30, 2025). These Common Service Centres will be managed by eligible Self-Help Group (SHG) women and are part of the government's 'One Family, One Entrepreneur' (OF-OE) vision aimed at transitioning SHGs into Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Each centre, designed as a standardised 'ATOM Kiosk', will offer around 250 public services. The scheme mandates that Digi-Lakshmi operators be SHG members with at least three years of active involvement, aged between 21 and 40 years, married, settled in their operational areas, and hold a graduate degree with technical aptitude. The G.O. authorised the Mission Director of MEPMA to execute the programme. The MEPMA will facilitate training and financial support, enabling women to secure loans of ₹2 to ₹2.5 lakh to establish their centres.
