Gaya, Aug 22: Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple development projects worth Rs 12,000 crore at Gaya in Bihar today.
The Prime Minister said that these projects span key sectors including energy, healthcare, and urban development.
He remarked that these initiatives will strengthen Bihar’s industrial capacity and create new employment opportunities for the youth and congratulated the people of Bihar for these transformative projects.
The Prime Minister further informed that a hospital and research centre have been inaugurated today to enhance healthcare facilities in the state.
He noted that with this, the people of Bihar now have an additional facility for cancer treatment.
Affirming that removing hardships from the lives of the poor and making the lives of women easier brings him the greatest satisfaction as a servant of the people, the Prime Minister reiterated that providing pucca houses to the poor is one of his major commitments.
He declared that until every needy person receives a pucca house, he will not rest.
He highlighted that, following this resolve, over the past 11 years, 4 crore pucca houses have been built for the poor across the country.
Noting that more than 38 lakh houses have been constructed in Bihar alone, and over 2 lakh families in Gaya district have received their own pucca homes, Modi emphasized that these are not just houses, but symbols of dignity for the poor.
He stated that these homes come equipped with electricity, water, toilets, and gas connections—ensuring that poor families also live with convenience, safety, and dignity.
The Prime Minister stated that continuing this initiative, over 16,000 families in Bihar’s Magadh region have now received their pucca homes.
He remarked that this year, Diwali and Chhath Puja celebrations in these households will be even more vibrant.
Extending congratulations to all beneficiary families who have received their homes, Modi assured those who are still awaiting benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana that the campaign will continue until every poor citizen receives a pucca house.
