As Bihar celebrated its foundation day on March 22, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar publicly thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his warm tribute to the state’s cultural splendor and developmental strides. Posting on social media platform X, Kumar expressed pride in Modi’s acknowledgment of Bihar’s storied legacy and ongoing advancements.
Kumar outlined his administration’s dedication to comprehensive growth, equitable justice, efficient administration, and enhanced infrastructure. With unwavering Central backing, he envisioned Bihar emerging as a frontrunner among Indian states, playing a key role in national prosperity.
‘Your direction and assistance will propel Bihar’s diligent citizens to unprecedented achievements for state and nation alike,’ Kumar told Modi, signaling a robust collaborative momentum.
In a separate heartfelt address to the people of Bihar, the CM portrayed Bihar Day as a vibrant commemoration of the state’s historical prowess, resilience, and customs. This day honors Bihar’s enduring impact on India’s core identity.
Bihar’s sacred land has been a cradle of wisdom since antiquity—home to Buddha’s profound philosophies that still illuminate humanity, and Chanakya’s diplomatic genius that forged a mighty empire with Chandragupta Maurya. These timeless influences continue to shape India’s vision.
Globally, Biharis shine through hard work and skill in every domain, from social service to business, academia to creative arts. Their innate ability to unite and succeed draws admiration, always exporting Bihar’s ethos wherever they tread.
Kumar shared anecdotes from his tenure, noting Biharis’ substantial contributions to Gujarat’s ascent, especially Surat’s boom. A centennial celebration in Surat united the community in revelry. He drew parallels to thriving Bihari diaspora cultures in Mauritius, Guyana, and Trinidad, with Chhath Mahaparv gaining international acclaim.
Referencing Gandhi’s transformative Champaran movement, the challenging 1970s, and icons like JP Narayan and Karpoori Thakur, the three-page missive spotlighted strides in roads, links, and holistic progress under Modi’s stewardship.
‘Prime Minister Modi’s personal commitment to welfare across castes has sparked a new era of trust and advancement in Bihar,’ Kumar affirmed. The state, fueled by heritage, strides forward with optimism, embodying India’s narrative of evolution and aspiration.
