BETTIAH, April 26 -- After offering obeisance to Goddess Sita at the famous Punaura Dham Temple on the occasion of Janaki Navami, Bihar chief minister Samrat Choudhary said that his government would complete the upcoming Sita Temple in Sitmarhi by December 31, 2028, ahead of schedule. He also said that the new NDA government is working to address the problem of youth migration in search of jobs by promoting industrialisation in the state, as part of its mission to build a "Samriddh Bihar" in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a "Viksit Bharat." He said that the government is committed to inject Rs.5 lakh crore for the state's development by this year only. Addressing a gathering in the precincts of the temple after formally inaugurating the Sitamarhi Mahotsav, the CM said that Bihar has changed under the leadership of former chief minister Nitish Kumar. "Nitish Kumar has worked over the past 20 years to bring the state onto the national stage. It will continue to move forward. In line with the vision of a developed India and a prosperous Bihar, we have planned to bring industries into the state so that more work opportunities are created locally," he said. He added that over the past two years, a significant amount to the tune of 1.36 lakh crore have been spent on infrastructure and other development work of Bihar. "We are looking forward to pump Rs.5 lakh crore 20 in our development system by November so that the people from Bihar who migrate outside the state for jobs find employment locally," he said. He said that, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a "Viksit Bharat," Bihar must be transformed into a "Samriddh Bihar." On the visit to Sitamarhi, Choudhary, who also reviewed the plan to develop the birthplace into the original form of Goddess Sita birthplace, said officials concerned have been asked to complete the construction work by December 31, 2028 instead of June 2029. "This is because we see that in Ayodhya, where Lord Rama was established, work has been carried out to build the corridor and the Ram-Janaki path...," said the chief minister, who took oath around ten days ago, assuring full-scale development of the state. At Punaura Dham, a redevelopment of Janki Mandir at in Bihar's Sitamarhi - believed to be the birthplace of Goddess Sita- is underway at a cost of Rs.882.87 crore for the integrated temple complex after Home Minister Amit Shah performed the bhoomi pujan last year in August.
