Ahead of the State Assembly election, Bihar<\/a> Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday (July 13, 2025) promised to provide jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youth in five years (2025-2030).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Making the announcement on social media platform X, he claimed that between 2005 and 2020, over eight lakh youth in the State were provided with government jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the next five years (2025 to 2030), we are setting a target to double the goal by providing government jobs and employment opportunities to one crore youth. To achieve this, new job and employment opportunities will also be created in the private sector, particularly in industrial areas,\u201d Mr. Kumar said in the post.<\/p>\n

He further said, \u201cFor this purpose, a high-level committee is being constituted. Currently, under the Saat Nischay (Seven Resolves) programme, the youth of the State are being provided with skill development training to connect them with self-employment opportunities. In the next five years, the ongoing programme under Saat Nischay for youth skill development will be expanded.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018University for skill development\u2019<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister also said that a university will be established for skill development, which will be named Jananayak Karpoori Thakur Skill University in honour of Bihar\u2019s pride so that the youth of the State can find a new direction in skill development.<\/p>\n

The icon of Extremely Backward Classes (EBC), Mr. Thakur was awarded India\u2019s highest civilian\u00a0honour Bharat Ratna posthumously on January 26, 2024.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kumar added that it has been the vision of his government since the beginning to ensure that more and more youth in the State receive government jobs and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo further accelerate the pace of providing government jobs and employment to the youth of the State, in 2020, under the good governance programme, Saat Nischay-2 was launched, under which we resolved to provide government jobs to 10 lakh youth and employment to 10 lakh people,\u201d Mr. Kumar said.<\/p>\n

He said the target was later increased to provide government jobs to 12 lakh youth and employment to 38 lakh people by August 2025, setting a total target of 50 lakh jobs\/employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to share that, so far, over 10 lakh youth in the State have been provided with government jobs, and approximately 39 lakh people have been given employment, and the target of providing government jobs\/employment to over 50 lakh youth will certainly be achieved,\u201d Mr. Kumar said.<\/p>\n
