# Bihar to pay Rs 10,000 per lakh views for scheme videos 2026-08-20T12:14:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Bihar Cabinet has approved amended rules that will pay social media creators Rs 10,000 for every one lakh views on videos promoting government schemes, with a maximum of Rs 1 lakh per video, NDTV and Hindustan Times report. The Bihar Social Media and Online Media Rules were amended to add provisions for the incentive, Cabinet Secretary Mohd Sohail said. The payment applies after a video completes 30 days of display. A detailed notification will be released on the department's website. The Cabinet also approved 13 agenda items including a 336-km Buxar-Bhagalpur greenfield expressway, a Rs 63.92 crore breed improvement programme, 11,000 tube wells for farmers, and an MoU with Japanese firm Tayo AI for promoting artificial intelligence. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources report the same facts from the Cabinet meeting without any critical or editorial framing. The lead is the creator incentive, which both outlets present as the news hook. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. Readers should note that the government has approved a wide-ranging set of decisions beyond the video incentive, including major infrastructure and technology projects, and the actual cost of the expressway has yet to be assessed through the PPP process. Watch for the detailed notification on the department's website. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - ndtv.com (neutral report) Leads with creator incentive, then lists other cabinet decisions without comment. - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with creator incentive, provides detailed breakdown of all cabinet approvals, no critical framing.
