"Currently, under the Saat Nischay programme, the youth of the state are being provided with skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities. In the next five years, the ongoing programme under Saat Nischay for youth skill development will be expanded," the CM wrote on X on Sunday. The cabinet also approved more than ₹179 crore for the maintenance of the priority corridor of metro rail which will become operational from August 15, 2025, in Patna.

Ahead of the crucial Bihar assembly elections, the Nitish Kumar-led government on Tuesday approved 30 key proposals, including a plan to employ one crore youth in the next five years. The decision, announced ahead of the state elections scheduled later this year, is being seen as a strategic move by the ruling NDA government to counter the opposition's criticism over rising unemployment and alleged inaction on job creation in Bihar. Earlier on Sunday, the Chief Minister made a similar announcement in a post on X, where he also claimed that more than eight lakh youth in Bihar were given government jobs between 2005 and 2020. 'For the next five years (2025 to 2030), we are setting a target to double the goal by providing government jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youth. To achieve this, new job and employment opportunities will also be created in the private sector, particularly in industrial areas," Kumar said in the post. He further said, 'For this purpose, a high-level committee is being constituted. Currently, under the Saat Nischay (Seven Resolves) programme, the youth of the State are being provided with skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities. In the next five years, the ongoing programme under Saat Nischay for youth skill development will be expanded." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Nitish promises 1 cr jobs, skill varsity
PATNA: Ahead of Bihar assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday promised one crore government jobs employment opportunities for the youth, and setting up a skill university, to be named after former CM and socialist leader Karpoori Thakur, in the next five years. Assembly polls in Bihar are to be held in October-November and NDA allies have already declared that the election would be contested under Nitish's leadership. Nitish's announcement for one crore jobs and employment opportunities came barely days after state cabinet approved a proposal to set up Bihar Youth Commission, apparently to target young voters. 'It has been our vision to ensure that more and more youths in the state receive government jobs and employment opportunities. Between 2005 and 2020, over eight lakh youths in the state were provided with government jobs. We resolved to provide government jobs to 10 lakh youth and employment to 10 lakh people in 2020 under the good governance programme, 'Saat Nischay-2'. Later, this target was increased to provide jobs to 12 lakh youths and employment to 38 lakh people by August 2025, setting a total target of 50 lakh jobs/employment opportunities,' Nitish wrote on 'X'. 'The target of providing government jobs/employment to over 50 lakh youth will certainly be achieved. In this context, for the next five years (2025 to 2030), we are setting a target to double the goal fixed for 2020-2025 by providing government jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youths,' he said. '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. Currently, the youth of the state are being provided with skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities under the Saat Nischay programme,' the CM added.
