Bihar CM's 'Samadhan Yatra'
Nitish Kumar launched his 'Samadhan Yatra' on January 5 saying that its aim will be understanding the grievances of the people and solving their problems after personally interacting with them. Starting from the West Champaran district, the CM also reviewed the implementation of various government schemes and held meetings with officials.
Taking to Twitter, Nitish Kumar shared pictures of his visits to various districts where he attended public rallies and interacted with women social workers. "Today, in the course of 'Samadhan Yatra', Jeevika participated in a dialogue program with Didis in Kishanganj", the CM tweeted on February 4. "Jeevika Didi is providing good food to people in hospitals through 'Didi Ki Rasoi' and Jeevika Didi is also doing many better things. We are increasing their responsibilities so that the income of Jeevika Didis increases further", the tweet further read.
