Bihar requests special category status for financial support

Bihar's government has renewed its demand for special category status. This request aims to receive more support and resources from the Indian central government. Officials believe that special status will help improve the state's economy and development. Bihar faces several challenges, including high poverty rates and a lack of infrastructure. The Chief Minister of Bihar has emphasized that the state's needs are urgent. He stated that special category status would aid in creating jobs and enhancing education and healthcare. Bihar had previously sought this status during the 14th Finance Commission but did not receive it. Advocates argue that this status is essential for equitable growth in India. The renewed demand has sparked discussions among political leaders and citizens across the state. Many believe it is time for the central government to respond to Bihar's needs effectively.
