Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced a 35% reservation for women in all state government jobs ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. The decision, approved in a Cabinet meeting, will apply to all direct recruitment across government services for women who are permanent residents of Bihar. The government also cleared the formation of the Bihar Youth Commission to address youth employment and education. “We are committed to empowering women and youth,” Kumar said. The move follows a pension hike for the elderly and is seen as a major pre-poll step with elections likely in October-November across Bihar’s 243 Assembly seats. (PC: News18)
