The Bihar Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, approved the ‘Saat Nishchay-3’ (Seven Resolves-3) programme on Tuesday. This ambitious five-year roadmap (2025–2030) aims to transition Bihar into the category of “developed states” through a focus on economic growth, industrialization, and social dignity.
Building on the previous “development with justice” frameworks of 2015 and 2020, the new edition outlines seven core pillars:
The Seven Resolves of ‘Saat Nishchay-3’
| # | Resolve | Key Initiatives |
| 1 | Double Employment, Double Income | Goal to double per capita income; target of 1 crore (10 million) jobs in 5 years; ₹10,000 to women for self-employment (expandable to ₹2 lakh). |
| 2 | Prosperous Industries, Empowered Bihar | Developing Bihar as the technology hub of Eastern India; establishing industrial areas in every district; attracting private investment. |
| 3 | Agriculture Progress, State Prosperity | Accelerating the 4th Agricultural Road Map; special focus on Makhana, dairy, and fisheries; “Sudha” dairy centers in every Panchayat. |

| 5 | Accessible Healthcare, Secure Life | Converting block health centers into specialty hospitals; banning private practice for government doctors with special rural incentives. |

- Infrastructure: The plan includes widening rural roads to two lanes and promoting solar energy through rooftop installations.
