He will also inaugurate the terminal of a newly constructed airport in the northern Bihar city, fulfilling a long-standing demand for improved air connectivity in the region. A key highlight of the Prime Minister’s visit is the inauguration of the National Makhana Board, established following an announcement in the Union Budget earlier this year. Bihar produces nearly 90% of the makhana, or Indian fox nut, in the country, which the Prime Minister has praised as a superfood in numerous speeches. The National Makhana Board’s launch in Purnia is expected to greatly benefit the farmers connected to this industry. The Prime Minister is expected to arrive at Purnia Airport at 2:20 PM via an IAF BBJ aircraft and will inaugurate the terminal building. Afterwards, he will proceed to address a public gathering and inaugurate various local schemes and projects. Modi is also scheduled to flag off the Jogbani-Patna Vande Bharat Express train. Security measures have been heightened in Purnia for the Prime Minister’s visit. It is anticipated that the elections in the state will be announced in the coming weeks.

A significant aspect of the visit involves the inauguration of a new airport terminal in the northern region of Bihar, addressing a long-standing need for enhanced air connectivity. Another key initiative will be the establishment of the National Makhana Board, which was announced in the Union Budget 2025. This board aims to stimulate Makhana production, facilitate the adoption of new technologies, improve processing techniques, boost exports, and ultimately benefit Makhana farmers across Bihar and the rest of India.

Additionally, the Prime Minister will participate in Griha Pravesh ceremonies for over 40,000 beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and distribute ₹500 crore to women’s self-help groups under the DAY-NRLM program. Security measures have been heightened, with restrictions on vehicular movement on national and state highways in effect for 24 hours, beginning from midnight Sunday.
