Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh has said that the Narendra Modi government has taken major development initiatives in Bihar and expressed optimism that the state will return "double engine" government in assembly polls later this year.
"There is a double-engine government here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is coming to Bhagalpur on February 24. Whatever development is visible in Bihar today is all because of PM Modi. There will be a double-engine government in the future, too. Bihar will develop," Giriraj Singh told media persons. During his visit to Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 19th instalment of PM KISAN at Bhagalpur. Over 9.7 crore farmers across the country will receive direct financial benefits amounting to more than Rs 21,500 crore. PM Modi launched the Central Sector Scheme for Formation and Promotion of 10,000 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPO) in February 2020, which helps farmers collectively market and produce their agricultural products. "Within five years, this commitment of Prime Minister to the farmers has been fulfilled, with him marking the milestone of the formation of the 10,000th FPO in the country during the programme," an official release said. Prime Minister will inaugurate the Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Breeds in Motihari, built under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission. Its major objectives include introducing cutting-edge IVF technology, producing elite animals of indigenous breeds for further propagation, and training farmers and professionals in modern reproductive technology. He will also inaugurate the Milk Product Plant in Barauni, which aims to create an organized market for 3 lakh milk producers. In line with his commitment to boost connectivity and infrastructure, Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation the doubling of Warisaliganj - Nawada - Tilaiya rail section worth over Rs 526 crore and Ismailpur - Rafiganj Road Over Bridge.
