Nitish Kumar plans to provide jobs to one crore youth in Bihar by 2030
Doubling the previous target set for the 2020-2025 period, the Chief Minister said that the state government is on its way to achieve the 2020-2025 target of employing 50 lakh youths, as it has provided government jobs to 10 lakh youths and employment to approximately 39 lakh people.
He said that to achieve this new target, employment opportunities will be created in the private sector with special emphasis on industrial areas. A high-level committee will also be constituted.
"I am delighted to share that, so far, 10 lakh youth in the state have been provided with government jobs, and approximately 39 lakh people have been given employment, and the target of providing government jobs/employment to over 50 lakh youth will certainly be achieved," CM Nitish Kumar wrote in a post on X.
"In this context, for the next five years (2025 to 2030), we are setting a target to double the 2020-25 goal by providing government jobs and employment to one crore youth. To achieve this, new job and employment opportunities will also be created in the private sector, particularly in industrial areas. For this purpose, a high-level committee is being constituted," he added.
Bihar CM further highlighted that the state government provided over 8 lakh government jobs to youths between 2005 to 2025.
"It has been our vision from the beginning to ensure that more and more youth in the state receive government jobs and employment opportunities. Between 2005 and 2020, over 8 lakh youth in the state were provided with government jobs."
He announced that Jananayak Karpoori Thakur Skill University will be established under the Saat Nischay scheme to provide skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities.
"In the next five years, the ongoing program under Saat Nischay for youth skill development will be expanded. In the coming time, a skill university will be established for skill development, which will be named Jananayak Karpoori Thakur Skill University in honour of Bihar's pride, Bharat Ratna Jananayak Karpuri Thakur ji, so that the youth of the state can find a new direction in skill development," he said.
The Bihar elections are expected to be held later this year, tentatively in October or November. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has not yet announced the exact dates.

Rs 67 Lakh For A Tesla? India Says, ‘Nice Car, Bro, But Will It Float?'
Last Updated: Many people said the cars are too expensive and self-driving won't work well on India's busy roads. Tesla has officially entered the Indian market with its first showroom in Mumbai, located at Maker Maxity in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The company has plans for a second outlet in Delhi and has already posted multiple job openings across India. Tesla is also setting up supercharger networks in key cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru. According to Hindustan Times, the showroom features the Model Y in both Long-Range RWD and AWD versions, with deliveries expected to begin in August. These electric vehicles are being imported as completely built units (CBUs). Due to India's high import duties—up to 70 per cent—their prices range between Rs 59.9 lakh and Rs 67.9 lakh. While Tesla fans were excited, many Indians on X (formerly Twitter) weren't too thrilled. The steep prices and India's unpredictable roads, along with traffic conditions, became the subject of jokes, memes and sarcastic posts. A user wrote, 'Rs 60 lakh and a 500 km range. Mahindra, Tata, Hyundai — they are more suited for Indian roads. And don't even talk about self-driving here. You are not safe even when you are driving manually." Another post showed a video of a car floating through a flooded street with the caption, 'Tesla is ready for Indian monsoon," poking fun at how unsuitable the car might be for local weather conditions. A funny clip of a man rapping in English while playing a dhol was captioned, 'Tesla cars on Indian roads be like…" capturing the chaos of blending advanced tech with unpredictable road scenarios. An individual sarcastically pointed out, 'Tesla just launched in India. It is priced nearly double compared to other countries." Tesla just launched in India. It's priced nearly 2x compared to other countries. — amrit (@amritwt) July 15, 2025 In addition, memes were everywhere. One showed two people in a wrecked car with the caption, 'Coming back after riding Tesla on self-driving mode in India." *Tesla launched in India*Coming back after riding Tesla on self-driving mode in India — Pakchikpak Raja Babu (@HaramiParindey) July 15, 2025 Another joked, 'After one month with Tesla in India: Reporter – How are you feeling here? Tesla: curses" After one month with Tesla in India:Reporter: How are you feeling here? Tesla: — Shubham Sakhuja (@ishubhamsakhuja) July 15, 2025 Some users also criticised those who expected an affordable Tesla. 'I wonder who thought Tesla would cost Rs 20-25 lakh in India. Absolute jokers," one said. I wonder who are these people (clueless) who really thought Tesla cars in India are going to be around 20-25 lakh. Absolute jokers!— ︎︎︎ ︎ (@Shimographer) July 15, 2025 While Tesla's entry is seen as a premium move, online reactions show that Indians are not holding back their opinions—and memes—about the brand's high price and practicality here. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
