Bihar Election 2025: Nitish Kumar promises jobs, employment opportunities to 1 crore youths in 5 years
'For the next five years, we are setting a target to double the 2020-25 goal by providing government jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youths," Nitish Kumar said in a post on X on Sunday morning.
"To achieve this, 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 said.
In a bid to impart skill development training to connect youths with self-employment opportunities in the next five years (2025-2030), the state government will set up the Jananayak Karpuri Thakur Skill University.
"In the coming time, a skill university will be established for skill development, which will be named Jananayak Karpuri Thakur Skill University in honor 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," Nitish Kumar said.
Nitish Kumar said that under the 'Saat Nischay' programme, youths of the state are being provided skill development training for self-employment opportunities.
'In the next five years, the ongoing programme under 'Saat Nischay' will be expanded… a university will be established for skill development, which will be named Jananayak Karpuri Thakur Skill University in honour of Bihar's pride, Bharat Ratna Jananayak Karpoori Thakur ji,' Kumar said.
He said that between 2005 and 2020, over 8 lakh youths of Bihar were provided government jobs.
'To further accelerate the pace of providing government jobs and employment to youths, in 2020, under the good governance programme 'Saat Nischay-2', we resolved to give government jobs to 10 lakh youths and employment to 10 lakh people," he said.
"Later, this target was increased to provide government jobs to 12 lakh youths and employment to 38 lakh people by August 2025,' the CM added.

One-stop property registry in the offing in Bhopal
Bhopal: Property registration in Bhopal is set to become simpler and faster, with the registrar office preparing to launch a single-window system that combines the registration of sale deeds and mortgage documents in one go. The change, enabled by an upgrade to the Sampada-2 software currently in use, is expected to take effect before Aug 15, an official said. Now, a person, who buys a property taking loan from banks, has to visit the registrar office twice -- once for registration of sale deed and then for registration of mortgage paper. After implementation of the revamped system, it will be done in one go. The testing of amended software is in the final stages. The new system would not only give relief to hundreds of property buyers, who have to visit the registrar office twice but also reduce the burden of work on the staff of the office. Senior registrar at Bhopal, Swapnesh Sharma told TOI: "As of now title deed or the sale deed is registered following which the papers hypothecating the property with the lending bank or financial institution is registered. Now, it will be done simultaneously and the papers will be transferred electronically to the buyer." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!
