Migration Drops, Focus on Infrastructure and Retention

Highlighting improvements in infrastructure and electricity, the Deputy CM claimed that migration from Bihar has significantly reduced, stating, “During Lalu Yadav’s time, the migration rate was 11%. Today, it has dropped below 4%. People now migrate not out of compulsion but for better job prospects.”

Choudhary added that the government plans to conduct a door-to-door survey over the next five years to identify individuals who migrated and why, in order to create job opportunities within Bihar itself.

“We want to ensure that no youth has to leave Bihar due to lack of opportunity. We will provide them with employment right here,” he said, underlining the NDA’s renewed commitment to employment-driven governance in the state.
