Taking a jibe at the PM's special package, Kumar told a press conference in Patna, "Unlike the much hyped package which is nothing but repackaging of old schemes, my (Rs 2.70 lakh crore) vision comprises programmes which are doable and I have worked out mobilisation of resources for it."
"Its my 'dil ki baat' and not 'maan ki baat'," Kumar said.
The 7-point development plan was in addition to the ongoing schemes in different sectors, Kumar said in Patna as he was flanked by state Finance Minister Bijendra Yadav and senior minister Vijay Chaudhary.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's 7-point development, has special focus on youths, women, unemployed, young enterpreuners and on infrastructure needs like drinking water, electricity and toilet.
Elaborating on the 7 points in his development plan, Kumar highlighted five new programmes for youths, who constitute the bulk of the state's population.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said youths in the age group of 20-25 would get Rs 1,000 monthly allowance twice for a period of nine months each to meet expenses during search for jobs.
Every youth who has passed class XII would get a student credit card with the help of which a loan of Rs 4 lakh from any bank could be availed. The state government would provide 3 percent interest subvention on the loan taken from this credit card, Kumar said.
The state government would establish a Rs 500 crore Venture capital fund from which young enterpreuners would get start up capital to set up manufacturing units, he said.
The CM promised to provide free wifi facility in all colleges and universities in the state.
He further said Registration and Modern employment consultancy centres would be opened in all 38 districts to provide basic computer education, language training and skill development to 1.5 crore youths in the state.
The plans for youths would cost about Rs 49,800 crore in next five years, he said, adding, "he has in mind from where to mobilise the resources."
To give pace to women empowerment, Kumar said 35 percent seats would be reserved for women in all state jobs.
Presently, 35 percent reservation is given to women in recruitment in police from constable upto Inspector level and this would be extended in all other state job
With electricity emerging as a major election issue in Bihar, Kumar said all left out villages and habitations would be connected with electricity in next two years and after that state government on its own expenses would connect every house with the electricity
All houses in rural and urban areas would be connected with drinking water pipeline in next five years
A total of 1.95 crore households in rural areas and 16 lakh in urban areas would be benefitted by this, he added.
The project would cost Rs 47,700 crore in five years.
