The Nitish Kumar government in Bihar tabled a Rs 3.47 lakh crore budget in the state assembly, asserting that the focus was on ‘gyan, vigyan, armaan’ (knowledge, science and aspirations).
While presenting the budget, the state Finance Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav praised the ‘visionary role’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in giving shape to a ‘viksit Bihar’. He said the size of the budget this year was a notable increase against Rs 3.17 lakh crore in 2025-26, and added that the state government expects to generate approximately Rs 65,800 crore from its tax revenue in 2026-27.
The Finance Minister said that in line with the state government's motto of ‘nyay ke saath vikas’ (development with justice), a provision of Rs 7,724 crore has been made for social welfare schemes. He further that the budget has been prepared with special focus on maan, gyaan, vigyaan, armaan aur samman (faith, knowledge, science and respect),
Yadav also mentioned the much-talked-about Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana, rolled out ahead of the assembly polls in November last year, which is said to have decisively clinched the deal in favour. He said an amount of Rs 10,000 has been transferred to the accounts of 1.56 crore women, and those who have used this amount to start a business will soon be given an additional Rs 2 lakh.
