Saraogi Says Village Progress Key to Bihar’s Growth

The Times of India quoted political leader Saraogi stating that the trajectory of Bihar’s overall development will be determined by progress in its villages. He underscored that rural areas house the majority of the state’s population and are central to any sustained economic expansion. Saraogi’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions about how to channel state resources toward agriculture, infrastructure and basic services in the countryside. He called for targeted policies that boost income, improve connectivity and enhance education in villages, arguing that such measures will create a foundation for broader state growth. The statement highlights the growing consensus among policymakers that rural revitalisation is essential for Bihar to close the development gap with more advanced Indian states.
