The Nitish Kumar government has taken a major step toward employment and security for the youth of Bihar. During the budget session of the Bihar Legislative Assembly on Friday, Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Samrat Chaudhary made several historic announcements regarding the Home Department. The government has also made significant decisions regarding 60,000 new recruitments, including the creation of a "Police Didi" squad in the state and the digitalization of prison security.

Addressing the House, Samrat Chaudhary announced that large-scale recruitment will be made in the Bihar Police and Home Department. He clarified that the recruitment process will begin for over 60,000 posts, with 31,000 personnel deployed in the police force alone.

In addition, a decision has been taken to recruit 13,500 Home Guards and 17,000 SAP personnel through the Paramilitary Force. The minister also announced that special reservations will be given to Agniveers in Bihar Police recruitments.

The government has announced the formation of "Police Didi" to ensure the safety of female students. Samrat Choudhary stated that the "Abhaya Brigade," which operates along the lines of the Anti-Romeo Squad, will now be known as "Police Didi." Their primary role will be to provide security to female students in schools and colleges. To this end, the government has initiated the process of purchasing 1,500 scooters and 2,500 motorcycles. Additionally, "Jeevika Didi's Kitchen" will be established in all 40 police lines, modeled after Patna.

Discussing prison reforms, the Home Minister stated that all prisons in Bihar will now be monitored online through CCTV cameras. The government will have complete digital information on who is visiting the inmates.

To further strengthen security, the construction of a new high-security prison in the state and a new Mukti Prison (open jail) in Bhagalpur has been announced. He proudly stated that Bihar is the first state with the highest number of prisoners completing their education inside prisons.

The government will now leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce the damage caused by fire incidents in Bihar. Samrat Choudhary stated that "AI-based Fire Prediction Automation Phase-2" is being implemented, which will provide advance warning of fires. A special "Fire Engineering Cell" will also be formed for this purpose.

In addition, a decision has been made to open a school in each police line for the children of police personnel living there.
