In a landmark moment for Jamui district, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar inaugurated and laid foundations for development projects totaling Rs 914 crore during his Samriddhi Yatra stop on Wednesday. The initiatives span critical sectors, promising transformative change for the area.
From Laghuar, the CM triggered the launch of 181 projects worth Rs 602 crore and foundation stones for 189 schemes costing Rs 312 crore via remote access, encompassing 370 projects in all. This massive investment highlights the state’s focus on grassroots development.
Kumar meticulously reviewed ongoing works from prior announcements in Prakriti Yatra. A key highlight was the Kundghat Reservoir, which he inspected after its unveiling.

Addressing the gathering, Nitish stressed respectful and comfortable living for all as the government’s core mantra. He urged officials to maintain sensitivity in execution to achieve national leadership in development. Looking ahead, he reaffirmed the pledge to employ one crore youth in five years, fostering industrial growth and empowering Bihar’s youth with skills for self-sufficiency and secure futures.
