youth. In addition to this substantial employment pledge, the alliance has announced plans to extend financial assistance.

Infrastructure Upgrades
Infrastructure development is a cornerstone of the NDA's vision for Bihar. The alliance has committed to significant infrastructure projects to modernize the state. A key aspect of this commitment involves the development of international airports across several cities, specifically Patna, Darbhanga, Purnia, and Bhagalpur.

This commitment is intended to enhance educational opportunities for underprivileged communities. Moreover, the manifesto introduces a financial incentive for students pursuing higher education, offering a monthly stipend of Rs 2,000. Further steps include providing breakfast along with mid-day meals and establishing medical colleges in every district to enhance healthcare access throughout Bihar.
