**Bihar Government Approves Construction of Wedding Pavilions in Every Panchayat, Former MLA Lauds Initiative**
**Patna, Bihar** – The Bihar state cabinet has approved a massive project to construct wedding pavilions (Kanya Vivah Mandap) in all 8,053 panchayats across the state. The initiative, aimed at supporting families of brides, particularly those from economically weaker sections, has been widely praised.
The project is budgeted at a total cost of ₹40.265 billion (40 अरब 26 करोड़ 50 लाख रुपए), allocating approximately ₹5 million (50 लाख रुपए) to each panchayat for construction.
Former MLA of Hasanpur constituency, Rajkumar Rai, expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for approving the project. Rai stated that the initiative would significantly empower women and provide much-needed support to guardians of brides who are facing financial constraints.
“This is a crucial step towards supporting the education of girl and will also ease some of the pressure around social events,” Rai said in a statement. “Families will be able to celebrate their daughter’s weddings with dignity.”
The government believes the scheme will significantly benefit impoverished families and alleviate the financial burden associated with weddings. The project is expected to commence shortly, with details on construction timelines to be released soon.
