Addressing the review meeting, the Chief Minister gave many necessary guidelines to the officials. The Chief Minister said that whatever problems the public representatives have put forth in the meeting, solve them as soon as possible. From 24 November 2005, the people of Bihar gave us an opportunity to work. Since then, we have been continuously working for the development of Bihar. Many development works have been done in every field. Before 2005, the condition of Bihar was very pathetic. People did not leave their homes after evening. The condition of education and health was very bad. The roads were dilapidated, there used to be fights between Hindus and Muslims every day, but when the people of Bihar gave us an opportunity to work, the situation of Bihar has completely changed. Development work has been done in every field. There has been no discrimination against anyone. From the year 2006, we started fencing the graveyards. Fencing of more than 8 thousand graveyards has already been completed. The fencing of the remaining graveyards will also be completed soon. We have worked for everyone. After this, we also started the work of boundary walls of temples so that the temples remain safe. Voting is your right, you can vote for whomever you want but we work for everyone.
The Chief Minister said that we are getting development work done in the entire Bihar. No area of Bihar is untouched by development. We have done work on a large scale for education, health, roads, bridges, due to which earlier people from any corner of Bihar used to reach Patna in 6 hours, now it has been reduced to 5 hours. Every kind of work is being done for this.
The Chief Minister said that since the year 2006-07, there has been a Poshak Yojana, cycle scheme for girls since the year 2009, cycle scheme for boys since the year 2010, recruitment of employed teachers on a large scale, efforts have been made to bring about improvement in the field of education by constructing school buildings. A large number of government teachers are being recruited. Government recognition is being given to employed teachers through examination. Earlier, 39 patients used to go to the primary health center in a month for treatment. Now on an average more than 11 thousand patients are coming for treatment in 1 month. Since the year 2006, we have also started the work of free medicine distribution in government hospitals. Earlier there were only 6 government medical colleges in Bihar. Now their number has increased to 11. We have established engineering colleges in every district, medical colleges are also being opened in the districts. Basic facilities like tap water in every house, construction of paved streets and drains in every house, toilet in every house, electricity connection to every house have been provided to the people.
