Bihar government ministers have claimed that the latest report of NITI Aayog’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) India Index 2023-24 vindicated the state’s long-standing demand for greater central financial assistance.
NITI Aayog on July 12 released SDG India Index 2023-24. Bihar has figured at the bottom, despite improvements on some parameters, in the SDG Index India that makes an assessment of sustainable development.
Commenting on NITI Aayog’s latest SDG Index, senior JD (U) leader and Bihar Water Resources Minister, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary said: “Bihar is the most deserving state that needs special financial assistance from the Centre. The economy of Bihar is one of the fastest-growing in India. Bihar has not only grown consistently but also outperformed even the most developed states.’’
“We also need a special package for the overall development of the state”, Chaudhury who earlier held the Finance portfolio in the Nitish Kumar government added.
Chaudhary said the Bihar government has been demanding SCS for the state since 2011-12. Before that, a resolution in this regard was passed by both Houses of Bihar legislature. Bihar needs a special package/special assistance for the overall growth of the state.
