Chitra Tripathi Honored with 'Bihar Gaurav Asmita Award' for outstanding contribution to ground reporting
Patna- In a glittering ceremony held at the Urja Stadi-um in Patna, celebrat-ed journalist and ABP News Vice President Chitra Tripathi was conferred with the prestigious Bihar Gaurav As-mita Award. The event, organized by the Bihar International Trade Organisations (BITO), brought together dignitaries and achievers from across the globe to celebrate the achieve-ments of individuals who have significantly contributed to the pride and progress of Bihar. The award was pre-sented by the Governor of Bihar, His Excellency Arif Mohammad Khan, in the presence of Union Minister Chirag Paswan and distinguished members of BITO representing 18 countries. These members have been in-strumental in promoting Bihar's heritage, culture, and identity at the inter-national level. Chitra Tripathi, a vet-eran television journal-ist with over two dec-ades of experience, was recognized for her con-sistent, courageous, and ground-level journal-ism that has frequently brought the spotlight on critical issues in Bihar. Her commitment to truth and fearless reportage has often set the tone for national debates and brought much-needed attention to the state's socio political challenges. Over the years, Tripathi's coverage of Bihar has resonated widely with audiences across the country. Her reports on the recurring floods in Bihar, the shocking Muzaffarpur shelter home scandal, and the controversial 'Bullet Re-porter' series during the election season have left a lasting impact. She has also reported firsthand on major political developments, including the first INDIA alliance meeting led by Nitish Kumar and his return to the NDA two years ago. Each of these reports showcased her tenacity and deep understanding of Bihar's political and social landscape. Her daily prime-time shows on ABP News Mahadangal at 5 PM and Janhit at 9 PM frequently feature in depth discussions Bihar-cen on issues. Recently, she launched a new program titled Charcha With Chitra, which premiered with a compelling interview of Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD supre-mo Lalu Prasad Yadav. The interview, shot in Bihar, quickly went vi-ral on social media and sparked intense political discourse. Tripathi's dedication to reporting from the ground, often under challenging ging cond conditions, has earned her both praise and criticism. One such instance was her widely discussed cover-age from Sitamarhi during a devastating flood. In a bid to highlight the dire conditions faced by villagers, she conduct-ed a report sitting on a makeshift boat fashioned from banana tree trunks the only avail-able means of transportation for the marooned locals. While the visuals led to trolling on social media, the impact was immediate and tangible. Within 24 hours of the report's broadcast, proper boats and re-lief supplies were dis-patched to the affected areas, offering critical support to those who had survived on meager rations like flattened rice and sugar for days. Despite being born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, Chitra Tripathi shares a deep emotional connection with Bihar. During her speech at the Bihar Gaurav Asmita event, she revealed that much of her childhood was spent with her grand-mother, Dharmdhari Chaubey, in Kuisa Bhathwan village, located in Gopalganj district of Bihar. Her memories of growing up in the village contin-ue to shape her under-standing ading of of the region's issues and people. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Saturday (July 5, 2025) remembered his late father Ram Vilas Paswan on his birth anniversary as a man who was the powerful voice of the poor and deprived people. The party workers paid floral tributes and recalled Ram Vilas Paswan as a leader who struggled an entire lifetime for the creation of an egalitarian society. 'Today is the birthday of my revered father, Ram Vilas Paswanji. This day has been like a festival for us, and today is also Sankalp Diwas (day of resolve) for every leader and worker of the party to work towards social justice, making Bihar a developed State, and integrating the deprived sections of society into the mainstream, bringing his ideas to reality,' Mr. Chirag said. The main function was organised in Hajipur, the Lok Sabha seat which Ram Vilas won eight times. At present, this seat is represented by his son Chirag who garlanded a life-size statue installed near the Hajipur Circuit House.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai also paid tribute by garlanding the statue. 'When he was alive, I never thought that I would face this day when he will not be around. Being his son, pictures from those days just come to my mind when we used to celebrate his birthday every year and the time I used to spend with him. I am trying my best to follow in his footsteps,' Mr. Chirag said. He also pointed out that Bihar International Trade Organisation (BITO), which he started in 2023 is a platform that provides an opportunity to the people of Bihar living abroad to do something for their State. 'Through BITO, we provide a platform for the people of Bihar residing overseas. Today, for the first time, I formally dedicate BITO to Bihar,' Mr. Chirag said.
