The budget includes several key announcements targeting various demographics, from farmers and students to residents of the Kosi and Mithila regions. While some hail it as a masterstroke ahead of the elections, others see it as genuine investment in the state’s development.
The budget has drawn praise for its focus on agriculture, with the Department of Agriculture announcing major initiatives including expanded training programs for Bihar’s youth.
