Bihar To Hold Bi-Montly Reviews Of Development Schemes At Block Level, Plans To Conduct Three Inspection By August

Block-level program implementation committees across Bihar will now hold regular meetings to review the progress of various urban and rural development schemes. The Cabinet Secretariat has issued directives for these committees, formed at the beginning of this month in all districts, to convene every two months. 

The meetings will focus on reviewing schemes operating in both urban and rural areas. The state government is implementing several key programs, including 'Mahila Samvad', 'Aapka Shahar Aapki Baat', and 'Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Samagra Seva Abhiyan'. District in-charge ministers have been instructed to conduct at least three reviews of these programs in their respective districts by August.

Financial provisions include a daily allowance of Rs 200 and travel allowance of Rs 50 for participating government members (except MPs and MLAs).
