The Story in Brief
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced a target of providing government jobs and employment to one crore youth by 2030 during his first Independence Day address at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on August 15. He said the State would form an examination reform committee to make competitive tests fair, transparent and modern. A Student Support Portal, to be launched on August 17, will accept student complaints and aim to resolve them within 30 days.
The government also plans free IIT-JEE and NEET coaching at 551 Saraswati Vidya Niketans. Choudhary said Bihar is spending Rs 68,678 crore on education, nearly 20% of its budget, and has provided 1.68 lakh free agricultural electricity connections in the past year.
The Indian Opinion
The one-crore promise will draw both sweeping praise and easy scepticism. Neither jobs rhetoric nor a new portal can substitute for regular exams, reliable recruitment calendars and transparent results. Free coaching may widen access, but its value will depend on teaching quality and reach beyond major towns. The first hard test is whether the portal resolves complaints within its promised 30 days, followed by the number of verified jobs and placements delivered each year.
