The Bihar Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, approved 43 proposals during its latest meeting, with several major decisions aimed at employment, youth welfare, and agricultural relief. Among the key decisions was the approval for 35% reservation for women in government jobs. The move is important ahead of the elections, given the NDA's focus on women voters.
In a landmark decision, the Cabinet approved 35% reservation for women who are original residents of Bihar in direct recruitment across all levels and categories of state government jobs. This reservation will not apply to women from outside the state.
