The move would pave the way for construction of airports in these six towns which would not only ensure easy and smooth travel for people of the state especially locals but would also boost economic development of the region.

In another important decision, the cabinet also sanctioned Rs 119 crore for organising a mega sporting event of ‘Khelo India Youth Games’ 2025 being held in Bihar for the first time.

The 7th edition of games will be held between May 4 and 15 at five places Patna, Rajgir (Nalanda), Gaya, Bhagalpur and Begusarai. Around 10,000 athletes including trainers, support and technical staff and other staff would participate in 27 different sporting disciplines, the ACS said.

Prime Minister Narendra will inaugurate the sporting event on May.

In order to give relief to power consumers, the cabinet sanctioned Rs 15,995 crore as subsidy to consumers during 2025-26, Siddharth said and added that the sum has been sanctioned under “Mukhya Mantri Vidyut Upbhokta Sahayta Yojana” to give per unit subsidy to power consumers.

The amount would be given directly to NTPC through Reserve Bank of India, he added.

The subsidy amount is reflected in every month’s energy bill, he said adding that the subsidy has been sanctioned for a period of April 2025 to March 2026.

The state government gives subsidy every year to power consumers to offset the higher tariff rate.

A grand temple would be built at Punauradham, the birthplace of Sita, in Sitamarhi district on the lines of a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya for which a design consultant M/s Design Associates INC has been selected for the purpose on nomination basis.

The cabinet approved the tourism department’s proposal for selection of the design consultant, Siddharth said while adding that this is the same consultant which has designed the Ram temple.

The move would help promote tourism in the state, he said adding that the CM had announced during Pragati Yatra for the integrated development of the religious place.

A total of 17 acres of land was available at Punaurdham temple premises besides the process is currently underway to acquire 50 acres of additional land to develop the place on a grand scale.

It also gave its nod to education department’s proposal to create 526 posts that included 422 teaching and 104 non teaching staff for the proposed degree colleges, ACS said.

The decision has been taken in view of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s announcements made during Pragati Yatra .

It also sanctioned creation of 663 non technical posts of different categories for 71 offices of integrated urban engineering organisation constituted under Urban Development and Housing department, he said.

It also approved the creation of 244 posts of different categories for smooth functioning of Bihar Sports University, Rajgir, ACS said.

The cabinet also approved Bihar Vishesh Sarvekshan Evam Bandobast (Sanshodhan) Niyamawali 2025 (Bihar Special Survey and Bandobast Amendment Rules 2025) which will allow farmers to exchange their land parcels. It would be applicable to those farmers who had exchanged their land oral basis.

Till now, there was no such provision wherein one farmer can exchange his land from another farmer.

It also approved Rural Works Department’s proposal for construction and maintenance of 14,000 km of road connectivity to villages and hamlets having 100 or more residents under “Mukhya Mantri Gram Sampark Yojana in all the 38 districts.
