Nitish architect of devpt in state: Min
Patna: Rural works department (RWD) minister Ashok Chaudhary on Sunday said Bihar has witnessed comprehensive progress over the past 20 years under CM Nitish Kumar's "model of holistic development," which, he claimed, has transformed all key sectors and accelerated the state's growth. Speaking at the Jan Samvad programme in Belhar (Banka district) and Tarapur (Munger) on Sunday, and earlier at Jamui and Chakai on Saturday, Chaudhary highlighted a range of initiatives implemented under the RWD to improve rural infrastructure. These included schemes for road and bridge construction, such as the CM's Road Connectivity Scheme targeting tolas (rural hamlets), and the CM Bridge Construction Scheme. Describing Nitish as "efficient, sensitive, and visionary," Chaudhary called him the "sootradhar (originator) of holistic development" in Bihar. At events in Belhar and Tarapur, he said, "The aim of the RWD schemes launched by the CM is not merely to increase pace and momentum, but to take the light of development to every village and tola to ensure inclusive and integrated growth." Chaudhary stressed that the visible development across the state is not mere statistical manipulation. "It is the result of his people-oriented vision, administrative commitment, and sound financial management. His development model reaches the last person in society," he said at Belhar. At Tarapur, he emphasised that for the first time since independence, an arrangement has been made for the procurement of pulses and oilseeds from farmers at minimum support prices (MSP). "This recognises the hard work of farmers and is a step towards increasing their income," he said. The minister also cited key economic indicators, including a 10% average growth rate, a significantly expanded state budget, and increased budgetary allocations over the past two decades, contrasting them with figures from before 2005.

DIY kitchen glow-up: 7 affordable ways to upgrade without a full renovation
A kitchen makeover does not have to empty your bank account or require contractors. With some thoughtful touches and weekend warrior spirit, you can breathe new life into your cooking space without the headache of a full renovation. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Ashok Chaudhary, MD (Plumber Batheware) at Aqua Plumbings Pvt. Ltd., suggested - Today's options in matte black, brushed nickel or chrome don't just look sharp but they often include pull-down sprayers or touchless technology that will make you wonder how you lived with that crusty old tap for so long. Replacing old cabinet handles and drawer pulls with trendy or timeless designs like brass, matte black, or minimalist stainless steel can make old cabinets a brand-new transformation. Swapping out overhead fixtures, adding under-cabinet lights, or even incorporating LED strip lights can bring warmth and dimension to the space. These subtle changes can make your kitchen more inviting for both cooking and gathering. Peel-and-stick tiles or even a fresh coat of waterproof paint can give your kitchen a customised, refreshed look without the commitment or cost of traditional tiling. New dish towels, a cushioned anti-fatigue mat, or even chair cushions bring colour and comfort to your space. Choose a palette that ties everything together without being matchy-matchy boring. When counter space is tight, think vertically. Wall-mounted spice racks, hanging fruit baskets, or floating shelves for frequently used items keep necessities accessible without crowding your workspace. Whether it's a windowsill herb garden, a trailing pothos above the cabinets, or a sturdy snake plant in the corner, that can bring life and energy to the room. They would improve your air quality and your outlook while you're chopping vegetables. Remember, kitchens should tell your story. Ashok Chaudhary concluded, 'The beauty of a DIY kitchen glow-up lies in the little things. With some creativity and a few well-chosen upgrades, it's easy to breathe new life into your kitchen without stepping into renovation territory. Start small, see what makes you smile when you walk in, and build from there. It's all about making your space work for you, stylishly and affordably.'
