Bihar governance push: Infrastructure, education, and reform

Overview

Since taking office in mid-June 2026, Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has pursued an aggressive mix of law-and-order action and development programmes. Early moves included a crackdown on crime, the launch of the “Bihar Tech” portal, 100 fast-track courts, and a proposal for AI training for legislators. Infrastructure and tourism remain central, with initiatives including a heli-tourism scheme, a Buddhist meditation centre in Bodh Gaya, new greenfield airports in Bhagalpur and Munger, and a rapid-rail corridor connecting Patna and Muzaffarpur. Educational reform has expanded significantly. Following proposals to expand college hours and launch 200 new degree colleges, the administration has announced the formation of a state-level education reform committee and a dedicated examination reform committee. In September 2026, the government announced plans to release matriculation and intermediate results within one week, offering retakes within 15 days for students who do not pass. New institutional developments include a teacher training university, a Banaras Hindu University (BHU) center in Bihar, and the establishment of Vikramshila University within a year. The government also committed to resolving outstanding salary dues for Madrasa and Sanskrit school educators by September. In mid-September 2026, the state reached a milestone in higher education expansion. Chief Minister Choudhary inaugurated an orientation programme for 2,451 newly appointed assistant professors to serve across 211 newly created degree colleges, noting that Bihar is the first state in India to launch this many colleges in a single day. To bolster school-level education, the government announced the development of 700 Saraswati Vidya Niketan model schools, providing specialized coaching for competitive exams like NEET and JEE through live classes and 24/7 online tutoring. On September 26, 2026, during a visit to Rajkiya Middle School in Danapur, Choudhary instructed officials to develop a plan to make computer education mandatory in all government schools starting next year.
