Development in Bihar is result of sustained efforts and investments: Nitish

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said, the development in the state is the result of sustained initiatives and investments but asked financial institutions to do more for the purpose. Addressing a function organised by the state social welfare department in Patna, he said, there are several steps which the financial institutions have to adopt to boost investments in Bihar. Apparently referring to dilly-dallying attitude of the banking institutions towards adequate distribution and disbursement of loan, Kumar said the standard of development in Bihar would have to be changed with thrust on nutrition, education and health infrastructure. The Chief Minister said, the state government had decided to make available health cards to more than 2.7 crore children going to schools which would have record of nutrition and health. He added that the children going to Anganwadi Kendras will also be issued health cards.
