Nitish Kumar Chief Minister Bihar
Nitish Kumar Chief Minister Bihar
Roads “as smooth as Hema Malini’s cheeks” was a promise that Lalu Yadav had once given to the people of Bihar. Ironically, it is his rival Nitish Kumar ( YUG PURUSH ) who seems to be delivering on that front. Despite three years of floods followed by a year of drought, ‘backward and benighted’ Bihar reports a miraculous figure: 11% GDP growth, second only to Gujarat. The state’s economy has never grown so fast so consistently as it has since 2004-2005. A few pointers on what’s going right in Bihar: Getting anywhere in Bihar has always been an exercise in endurance. But that’s changing.More than 6,800 km of roads have been relaid and 1,600 bridges and culverts constructed in the last four years. Journey time in India’s 12th largest state, sprawling over 94,163 sq km, has been cut by half today in many places. Now, most of the state’s 38 districts — from northernmost West Champaran to Kaimur on the western end — are a drive of six hours or less from Patna. Automobile sales in the state grew 45% in 2009, at a time when sales had dipped 20-25% in several other states during the economic slowdown. Is this buying spree an indication that a section of Biharis have more money to splurge than they did earlier? “A few people had money earlier too, but they didn’t flaunt it for fear of attracting extortionists and kidnappers,” says Ranjit Singh, director of a high-end Patna hotel. That fear may have evaporated now. Only 317 kidnappings for ransom were reported during the last four years as against 1,393 during the previous four. The kidnapping industry has clearly fallen on hard times. One indication of this is that doctors no longer refuse to go to patients’ homes on emergency calls. “Today you can see boards at clinics saying we go on calls,” says Dr Amulya Kumar Singh, who runs a nursing home in Patna. Most of Bihar’s infamous dons are behind bars. That includes Mohd Shahabuddin, the former RJD MP who had once gone live on TV, daring the state police chief to arrest him. Things are a little different now. A ruling JD(U) MLA, Sunil Pandey, attempted an encore of sorts in early 2006 when he brandished a revolver and talked murder on TV. But Pandey found himself behind bars within no time. Speedy trials have ensured a total of 38,824 convictions between 2006 and September 2009.The convicts included dons and their henchmen. Gun-toting strong men are no longer a common sight on the streets of Bihar. Policemen patrol them now. And places like Siwan, where Shahabuddin once held sway, do not get deserted after dusk. This improvement has shown results. Malls, shops and private educational institutions are coming up. So are mobile service providers and banking firms. It’s boom time for real estate with apartment buildings coming up all around. “That’s because even non-Biharis for a change want to have a foot in Bihar which has become a better place to live in,” says economist Shaibal Gupta of the Asian Development Research Institute. Adds Faizal Alam of Kalyanpur Cements, “Cement inflow to the state went up 18% to 51 lakh tonnes in 2008-09.” That’s an indicator of the construction boom. Ironically, this economic growth has happened without any worthwhile contribution from the manufacturing sector. 
The state’s economy is growing because of a boom in agriculture and services sectors. “It’s government-induced growth,” admits Bihar Industries Association (BIA) president S P Sinha. According to former BIA president K P S Keshri, private investments in the manufacturing sector have been as little as Rs 1,500 crore during the last four years. Many attribute the growth to the fact that the flow of Central funds to states has increased manifold in recent years. In the case of Bihar, it went up from Rs 37,341 crore during the five-year period 2000-2005 to Rs 55,459 crore during the next three years. But equally importantly, the funds are now getting better utilized than during the Lalu-Rabri regime when large chunks remained unspent. Also, adds Gupta, the state made concerted efforts to mobilise internal resources with its own revenue collection going up from Rs 2,919 crore in 2003-04 to Rs 5,256 crore in 2008-09. The flip side is that much of this growth does not get reflected in social indicators which remain abysmal. But, as Gupta says, it would be unrealistic for anyone to “expect the moon” at this stage. “Right now the fundamentals are getting corrected and therefore you can find mostly infrastructural indicators of growth; one will have to wait for social indicators to become visible,” he says. While contractors and realtors stand to gain, more than half the state’s 8.2 crore people — 1.25 crore families — still live below the poverty line. For these families to prosper, Bihar desperately needs huge investments and more growth. The State Investment Promotion Board, formed by the Nitish government, has received proposals worth Rs 96,000 crore. But most of them, especially the major ones, remain on paper as Central rules prove a stumbling block. For instance, thermal power plants cannot come up in Bihar because the Centre has so far refused to provide coal linkages to ensure regular supplies to any such new plant. Also, Bihar has a lot of catching up to do with the rest of India. “There cannot be any comparison between Gujarat and Bihar, both of which reportedly grew by over 11%; since our base is low, even a small investment results in impressive growth in percentage,” Gupta points out. State officials admit that crucial sectors like health are still sick with meagre resources in comparison to other states. From its bleak past, Bihar may be finally moving towards a brighter future With Chief Minister Nitish Kumar (YUG PURUSH ), but the common Bihari is not patting himself just yet. Maybe he is still waiting for this high growth to translate into better food on his table and more money in his pocket.

Nitish Kumar Chief Minister Bihar
Gandhi earnestly believed that a person involved in public service should lead a simple life. He first displayed this principle when he gave up wearing western-style clothing, which he associated with wealth and success. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar by and by doing the same. He is on the trip of VIKAS YATRA to reconcile the discrepancy of his government;nodoubt this is a wise step taken by him. A main reason that he gets Verdict in Bihar. He always worried about irreparable loss due to happened in the state by natural calamities. This is a factum,to raise the growth rate of women education in Bihar due to his best policy and concept. He always keeps close vigil in every circumstances; he is a veracious person like Mahatma Gandhi .He is doing the same experiments, which is already explained by Mahatma Gandhi thats why ;he is a YUGPURUSH.Gandhi explains his philosophy and way of life in his autobiography ,The Story of My Experiments with Truth. He was quoted as saying:-A non-violent army acts unlike armed men, as well in times of peace as in times of disturbances. Theirs will be the duty of bringing warring communities together, carrying peace propaganda, engaging in activities that would bring and keep them in touch with every single person in their parish or division. Such an army should be ready to cope with any emergency, and in order to still the frenzy of mobs should risk their lives in numbers sufficient for that purpose. …Satyagraha (truth-force) brigades can be organized in every village and every block of buildings in the cities. [If the non-violent society is attacked from without] there are two ways open to non-violence. To yield possession, but non-cooperate with the aggressor…prefer death to submission. The second way would be non-violent resistance by the people who have been trained in the non-violent way…The unexpected spectacle of endless rows upon rows of men and women simply dying rather than surrender to the will of an aggressor must ultimately melt him and his soldiery…A nation or group which has made non-violence its final policy cannot be subjected to slavery even by the atom bomb…. The level of non-violence in that nation, if that even happily comes to pass, will naturally have risen so high as to command universal respect. BIHAR Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is a System himself and a good follower of Mahatma Gandhi.

US Newspapers are admiring Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar efforts; this is First down pour……Latest News, India, Breaking News From Patna Bihar, World Current Headlines … Latest Breaking News from India, Breaking Politics News, Political Headlines, Stories ………. by Rahul Kumar Singh, Political Writer
April 12, 2010
We should reminisce old topic of any newspapers of India and envisage regarding Bihar that have been pruning down by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He is a Veracious and truthful person regarding his rigidity and promises of developmental affairs of Bihar. No doubt he is a YUGPURUSH, now it is spruced up by international media. It is a precedential rainfall in Bihar and Bihari`s. Old government cobbled up last 15 years. Now it is ameliorating by CM Nitish Kumar. He will leave indelible mark on Indian people. He always thinks about infrastructure of the down trodden and trembled poor people. He neither attributed exaggerated steep nor subterfuges to the people of Bihar. Today bumpy and dotted roads disappeared from Bihar. He is always ready to make conducive plan for the people of Bihar. Now people are not sauntering, they have work on roads, parks and bridges. Bihar chief minister is trying to bring various plans for transparency to society particularly viable and feasible to Mahadalits.Juvenile offender is disappearing from Bihar. Girls are going to schools. It is showing by the articles of various media houses; Bihar is changing and it is now being acknowledged by the international media. An article published in New York Times (NYT) has termed Bihar as a state which could serve as a model. Recalling that for decades Bihar was “something between a punch line and cautionary tale, the exact opposite of the high tech, rapidly growing, rising global power India has sought to become,” the article said that previously “criminals could count on police protection, not prosecution. Highway men ruled the shredded roads and kidnapping was one of the most profitable businesses”. “The name captured everything that was wrong with the old India — a combustible mix of crime, corruption and caste politics in a state crucible that stifled economic growth,” it said. However, after the turnaround when it notched an 11 per cent average growth rate for the last five years, the news was greeted as a sign that even India’s most intractable corners of backwardness and misery were being transformed, the article says. Bihar’s turnaround illustrates how a handful of seemingly small changes can yield big results in India’s most impoverished and badly governed regions. It stressed that state governments are responsible for everything from schools to hospitals to policing to maintaining most roads. “Bihar is a textbook case of how leadership determines development,” it says. The article has uncharitable things to say about Lalu Prasad who ran the state for 15 years `from beneath to a banyan tree’. “Under Mr. Prasad’s watch, criminal syndicates kidnapped, extorted and robbed with impunity, protected by political leaders or in some cases led by politicians,” it says, adding Lalu’s government did little to improve the daily lives of Biharis. It talks about dismal road conditions, schools crumbling as teachers did not turn up for work and health centers left unstaffed.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is working like Mahatma Gandhi, Jai Prakash Narayan and Karpoori Thakur.

Mahadalits towards Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar…By Dr Nihora Prasad Yadav and Rahul Kumar Singh, Political Writer
March 17, 2010
It was the occasion of Mahadalit unity Rally on 21st Feb, 2010; when, for the first time, the poor were footed people of Patna with great interest and enthusiasm gathered at Gandhi Maidan. Rallies are frequently organized in Gandhi Maidan several times; where the political leaders always demonstrated their power through their speeches but, the people, without any expectations turned towards their home sadly.
After independence, the politicians tried a lot to give respect and equality to the people of backward classes, the society was still stable. The backwards remained backward in every aspect, their lives were becoming miserable, but they still had a ray of hope. They were regularly treated badly in society, they were neglected, insulted, rejected every where either by society or by government agencies. No one taken steps to focus upon their sacrifices and services and the hardwork.It was felt that doing so much, struggleing so much were their opportunities and they had to do it.
But,on 21st Feb,2010;things were changed ,society was changed, people and their thinking were changed a mob was getting was gathered at Gandhi Maidan from every direction only to experience the majestic political power by these poor,simple people.They were hoping a lot from shree Nitish Kumar. Everyone was excited to meeting him, to see him on the stage, to hear his pious words.
Approximately, at 1 O’clock; Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar arrived with positive band of energy for distributing it among the people. Where there were a lot of actions taken for giving equality to Mahadalits in the society by the government, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also focused upon their economic conditions. He took various measures, such as; by appointing 10,000 Vikas Mitra from Mahadalits for Mahadalit in every PANCHAYAT of Bihar Who worked as the agents of various projects and for distributing among Mahadalits.Mukhyamantri Poshak Yojana, Radio,Food potable water,toilets,the project of joining the Mahadalits of villages to the main stream of the society were some of the pioneering steps taken by Nitish Kumar only for the poor were footed Mahadalit.Not only this much, about 106000 homeless Mahadalit were being provided money for purchasing 3 Dismal land under DALIT AWAS YOJANA . Our honorable Chief Minister Sri Nitish Kumar is doing a lot and is trying to take every possible steps for improving the social, educational, economics as well as cultural conditions of Mahadalits.Especial Finance has kept and JEEVAN SHREE YOJANA also took place for upliftment of Mahadalit in Bihar.
After the change of rule in Bihar, there was a drastic change in the lives of Mahadalit, seemed Mahadalit vote bank going towards Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.Mahadalit became the central point of political discussion. Today their power is experienced by their society. In search for food, the political consciousness of Mahadalit is increasing day by day .They can now understand their power of making and deforming the rule of the state. It was the first time in Bihar, after 62 years of independence, when Mahadalits were also given the equal rights and were given respect in the society. This is the only reasons, why today Mahadalits call Bihar Chief Minister Sri Nitish Kumar as their NAYAK.
जननायक कर्पूरी ठाकुर की यादें (डा0 निहोरा प्रसाद यादव) by Rahul Kumar Singh,Political Writer
March 16, 2010
प्रत्येक दिन जब वे पटना में रहते थे, सुबह साढे सात बजे मिलने जाया करता था। ठीक साढे सात बजे तैयार होकर जननायक कर्पूरी ठाकुर अपने सरकारी आवास के नीचे बरामदे पर लगे कुर्सी, बड़े से टेबुल, जो कहीं कटे, कहीं टूटे थे आकर बैठ जाते और गरीबों के हुजूम जिनके तन पर साफ़ कपड़े नहीं, कईयों के पैर में चप्पल नहीं आकर घेर लेते, अपना दुख़ड़ा, तकलीफ़ पीड़ा सुनाने लगते। उसी भीड़ में दल के कार्यकर्ता एवं उनसे मिलने वाले सहयोगी टेबुल के बगल में लगे बेंच पर बैठ जाते, समस्याओं से सम्बन्धित अधिकारियों, सरकार के मंत्रियों को दूरभाष के द्वारा या फ़िर पत्र के द्वारा न्याय देने का निवेदन किया करते थे। वे आने वाले लोगों का बड़े नम्र भाव से यह भी समझाते थे कि जब हम आपके यहां आने वाले हैं तो पैसा ख़र्च कर क्यो चले आये। वहीं आकर अपनी समस्याओं को बताते।
पटना में रहने पर देर रात भी उनसे मिलने जाया करते था। अपने आवास के उपर बरामदे में लगे चौकी पर लेटे रहते। माथे और शरीर दबाने वाले दबाते रहते थे। चौकी के सटे लकड़ी का टेबुल जिसपर बैठने का निर्देश मिलता, हाल चाल होता। अगले दिन के कार्यों के लिये भी निर्देश होता।
एक रात जब उनसे मिलकर चलने का आदेश लेना चाहा तो निर्देश हुआ कि छः बजे आ जायें। मुझे लगा सुबह कहीं कार्यक्रम में जाना है। चुंकि अक्सर मुझे अपने साथ ले जाया करते थे, इसलिये मैं भी तैयार होकर ठीक 6 बजे सुबह पहुंचकर जैसे ही मोटरसाईकिल बन्द कर ख़ड़ा करने लगा वैसे ही जननायक की आवाज, चलिये। अचरज भरे निगाह से देख़ा। दबे आवाज में मैने प्रश्न किया गाड़ी तो अभी आयी नहीं है, उन्होंने कहा कि आप के मोटर साइकिल से ही चलेंगे। यह सुनकर मैं हतप्रभ रह गया, मानों सारे शरीर का ख़ून ही जाम हो गया हो। थोड़ी देर के लिये शून्यता की स्थिति में चला गया, फ़िर उन्होंने आवाज दी- स्टार्ट करिये। बड़ी हिम्मत और साहस और अपने आप को नियंत्रित करते हुए मोटर साइकिल स्टार्ट किया। बैठने के क्रम में पीछे लगे कैरियर से उनके पैर छिल गये। मैंने अफ़सोस एवं दुख़ प्रकट किया लेकिन उन्होंने कहा मेरा कद छोटा है इसलिये ऐसा हुआ, चलिये कोई बात नहीं। बैठने के बाद दोनों हाथ मेरे कंधों पर, आदेश हुआ बेली रोड से चलने का।
उस समय अजीबो गरीब स्थिति में था जब सड़क से चलने वाले, पैदल हों या गाड़ी से हों, साइकिल से हो सभी लोग जननायक कर्पूरी ठाकुर को मोटर साइकिल से जाते देख़कर अविश्वसनीय नजरों से देख़ रहे थे। मानों विश्वास ही नही हो रहा था कि इतने बड़े राजनेता मोटर साइकिल से चले यह नहीं हो सकता। आपस में तर्क वितर्क, सही गलत होने लगी। कईयों ने उंगली से इशारा कर बताना चाहा कि देख़ें कर्पूरी ठाकुर मोटर साइकिल से जा रहे हैं। कईयों ने सर झुकाकर अभिवादन किया, कईयों ने हाथ उठाकर प्रणाम किया।
चलने के क्रम में ही उन्होंने बताया कि कई दिनों से विदेश के कुछ पत्रकार मुझसे मिलने आये हैं पर समय न रहने के कारण उन्हें प्रेसीडेंट होटल में ठहरने का आग्रह किया और उन्हें वादा किया था कि सुबह छः बजे मैं स्वयं होटल में ही आकर बात कर लूंगा।
जैसे ही होटल के पास मोटर साइकिल रुकी, जननायक को देख़कर लोग दौड़ने लगे, होटल के प्रबंधक एवं कर्मचारियों ने आकर अभिवादन किया। जब विदेशी पत्रकार को जानकारी मिली कि जननायक दिये गये समय पर आ गये वह भी मोटर साइकिल से तब अकस्मात उनके मुंह से निकल गया- “You are really a leader of down trodden people. We have not seen any leader as you in the entire world”।
अपने विशाल व्यक्तित्व एवं बड़े राजनेता होने का एहसास गरीबों के आवाज बनने में कभी और कहीं भी बाधक नहीं माना, यही कारण रहा कि गरीबों के आवाज को मजबूती प्रदान करने में साधन नहीं, अपने आपको साध्य मानकर आगे बढते गये। लक्ष्य तक पहुंचने में रास्ते चाहे जैसा हो इसकी परवाह नहीं की। न रात देख़ा न दूरी देख़ी, न साधन देख़ा न मुसीबतें देख़ी, निर्भिक होकर सीना फ़ैलाकर, पैर अड़ाकर लड़ने और संघर्ष से तनिक भी नहीं रुके। पूरी जिंदगी ही मानों गरीबों, असहायों, वंचितो के लिये गिरवी रख़ दी हो। ऐसे जन नेता को शत शत नमन।
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar leave no stone unturned for enhancing women empowerment in Bihar…….Latest News, India, Breaking News From Patna Bihar, World Current Headlines … Latest Breaking News from India, Breaking Politics News, Political Headlines, Stories …….. by Rahul Kumar Singh ,Political Writer
March 10, 2010
Boom of Women empowerment can easily seen by anyone in Bihar.The growth of distribution of bicycles for girls of ninth class depicted the true story and true work of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the growth is about 300 percent from starting date of distribution of bicycles to till date .The vision of Nitish Kumar is clear, through girls education he wants to develop the living standered of a family. Education and empowerment of women are closely related, really he is foresighted and YUGPURUSH.
Today`s woman is a highly self-directed person, alive to the sense of her dignity and the importance of her functions in the private domestic domain and the public domain of the world of work. Woman are rational in approach, careful in handling situations and want to do things as best as possible. The Fourth World Conference of Women held in Beijing in September 1995 had emphasized that no enduring solution of society most threatening social, economic and political problems could be found without the participation and empowerment of the women. The 1995 World Summit for Social Development had also emphasized the pivotal role of woman in eradicating poverty and mending the social fabric.
The Constitution of India had conferred on women equal rights and opportunities –political, social, and educational and of employment-with men. Because of oppressive traditions, superstitions, exploitation and corruption, a majority of women are not allowed to enjoy the rights and opportunities, bestowed on them. One of the major reasons for this state of affairs is the lack of literacy and awareness among women. Education is the main instrument through which we can narrow down the prevailing inequality and accelerate the process of economic and political change in the status of women.
The role of women in a society is very important. Women’s education is the key to a better life in the future. A recent World Bank study says that education girls is not a charity, it is good economics and if developing nations are to eradicate poverty ,they must educate the girls .The report says that the economics and social returns on investment in education of the girls considerably affect the Human Development Index of the nation.Society would progress only if the status of women is respected and the presence of an educated woman in the family would ensure education of the family itself.Education and empowerment of women are closely related.
Women`s education has not received due care and attention from the planners and policy makers. The National Commission for Women has rightly pointed out that even after 50 years of independence; women continue to be treated as the single-largest group of backward citizens of India. The role of women in overall development has not been fully understood nor has it been given its full weight in the struggle to eliminate poverty, hunger, injustice and inequality at the national level. Even when we are at the threshold of the 21st centuary,our society still discriminates against women in matters of their rights and privileges and prevents them from participating in the process of national and societal progress. Various committees and commissions have been constituted before and after Independence to evaluate the progress in women`s education and to suggest ways and means to enhance the status of women. The female literacy rate has gone up in the 20th century from 0.6 percent in 1901 to 39.29 percent in 1991 but India still possesses the largest number of illiterate women in the world. The Female Literacy Index for year 1991 shows that there are eight states which fall below the national average. The most populous states of the country, UP, Bihar, MP and Rajasthan fall in the category of most backward states as far as female literacy is concerned. After the effort of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar the women education is growing in Bihar. He is putting in a tizzy among the other politician regarding women empowerment in Bihar.
The prevailing cultural norms of gender behavior and the perceived domestic and reproductive roles of women tend to affect the education of the girls. Negative attitude towards sending girls to school, restrictions on their mobility, early marriage, poverty and illiteracy of parents affect the girls` participation. Women`s political empowerment got a big boost with the Panchayati Raj Act of 1993 which gave them 30 percent reservation in Village panchayats,Block samities and Zila parishads throughout the country. The National Commission for Women was also set up in 1992 to act as a lobby for women`s issues. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ameliorated the life of women in Bihar gave 50 percent reservation in Village panchayats, Block Samities and Zila parishads.
The educational system is the only institution which can counteract the deep foundations of inequality of sexes that are built in the minds of people through the socialization process. Education is the most important instrument of human resource development. Education system should be used to revolutionize the traditional attitudes and inculcate new values of equality. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar searched a new way for women empowerment in Bihar.He worked relentlessly for women empowerment in Bihar. He bestowed himself for the struggle of women empowerment in Bihar, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar knows very well; Education and empowerment of women are closely related.
