• Jul 8, 2025

Patna, July 8, 2025:
In a landmark decision aimed at empowering the youth of the state, the Bihar Cabinet has given its approval for the formation of the Bihar State Youth Commission. This move is expected to provide much-needed employment opportunities, skill development, and leadership training for the younger generation of Bihar.

A Step Towards Youth Empowerment

The Bihar State Youth Commission will work as an independent statutory body dedicated to addressing the issues, aspirations, and challenges faced by the youth of Bihar. The commission will act as a bridge between the government and the youth, ensuring that policies for youth development are effectively implemented.

Speaking on the occasion, a government spokesperson said, “The youth are the driving force of our state’s future. This commission will ensure they receive not only job opportunities but also the training and guidance needed to excel in today’s competitive world.”

Key Objectives of the Youth Commission

• Employment Generation: The Commission will collaborate with various industries and government departments to create employment opportunities tailored for Bihar’s youth.

• Skill Development & Training: Through partnerships with technical institutes and training centers, the Commission will provide vocational training, entrepreneurship workshops, and soft skill development programs.

• Policy Advocacy: It will recommend policies and programs to the state government focused on youth welfare, sports promotion, and mental health initiatives.

• Youth Leadership & Participation: Special programs will be launched to encourage youth participation in governance, civic engagement, and leadership roles.

Opportunities for the Youth

The formation of this Commission is seen as a major boost for Bihar’s young population, who often migrate to other states in search of work. With the new initiatives, the government hopes to retain the state's talent and develop a strong, skilled local workforce.

The Youth Commission will also focus on rural areas where access to education and training opportunities is limited. Mobile training camps, online courses, and community engagement drives will be organized to ensure inclusivity.

Next Steps

The Commission’s detailed structure, budget allocation, and appointment of its Chairperson and members will be finalized in the coming months. Various state departments, including Labor, Education, and Industries, will work closely with the Commission to roll out the programs.

Public Reaction

Youth organizations, student bodies, and employment forums across Bihar have welcomed the decision. Many have expressed hope that this initiative will reduce unemployment rates and create a more vibrant, self-reliant youth community in the state.
