Legacy Of Governance

Recalling the NDA government’s formation on November 24, 2005, Kumar said Bihar had since witnessed a steady focus on rule of law and sustained development. He stressed that his administration worked for all sections of society, including minorities, backward classes, Dalits and economically weaker groups. He pointed to progress across key sectors such as education, healthcare, roads, electricity and agriculture. Special emphasis, he said, was placed on empowering women and youth, which contributed to broader social and economic gains in the state.

Looking Ahead

Kumar said recent initiatives, including the “7 Nishchay-3” roadmap for 2025-2030, would further accelerate Bihar’s development. He added that continued support from the Centre under Narendra Modi would strengthen these efforts.

Confirming his decision, Kumar said he had resolved to step down and formally submitted his resignation to the Governor after the Cabinet meeting. He thanked the people of Bihar for their support throughout his tenure.

He also assured that he would extend full cooperation and guidance to the new government, expressing optimism that Bihar would continue to grow and emerge among the leading states in India.
