Mr. Sai announced several key development initiatives for the region, including the establishment of a new sub-tehsil in Ranveerpur, the commencement of a college in Birendra Nagar from the upcoming academic session, and a new 250-seater Nalanda campus in Pandaria. He also announced a new building for the college in Kunda and a Nagar Palika office in Pandaria. Additionally, 2.1 km of National Highway-130A will be widened and upgraded to four lanes.
The Chief Minister inaugurated and performed bhoomi pujan of various infrastructure projects worth Rs. 72 crore. He noted that to strengthen rural banking access, Atal Digital Suvidha Kendras have already been established in 1,460 gram panchayats, and this service will be extended to all panchayats within a year. He also emphasized that the registry process has been made simpler and more transparent for citizens.
Lauding the efforts of local MLA Ms. Bhavna Bohra, Mr. Sai praised the launch of five free buses for girl students, calling it a historic step toward their empowerment. “This facility will ensure that girls can safely and conveniently attend colleges across the region,” he said.
