New Delhi, March 22 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday extended his greetings to the people of Bihar on the occasion of Bihar Day, praising the state’s rich heritage and expressing confidence in its contribution to India’s development journey.
In a message posted on X, the Prime Minister said, “On the occasion of Bihar Day, heartfelt greetings to all my family members in the state.” He lauded Bihar’s historical and cultural significance, adding, “Our state, which has enriched India’s heritage with grandeur and divinity, is today actively scripting new chapters of progress.”
Highlighting the role of citizens in driving development, Modi underscored the importance of public participation in achieving national goals. “I am confident that the dedication and capability of the hardworking and energetic people here will play a significant role in realising the vision of a developed Bihar alongside a developed India,” he said.
Bihar Day is observed annually on March 22 to commemorate the formation of the state in 1912, when it was carved out of the Bengal Presidency during British rule. The day is marked by cultural events, official functions, and initiatives aimed at showcasing the state’s history, traditions, and development achievements.
In recent years, Bihar has focused on improving infrastructure, education, and governance, while continuing to grapple with challenges such as migration, unemployment, and disaster vulnerability, particularly due to recurring floods. The state government has emphasised industrial growth and connectivity as key drivers of economic progress.
Political observers note that the Prime Minister’s message aligns with the Centre’s broader emphasis on cooperative federalism and inclusive growth, where states play a critical role in achieving national development targets. As Bihar continues its efforts toward economic transformation, the call for harnessing the energy and commitment of its people remains central to its progress narrative.
