The Mukhya Mantri Nishchaya Yojna is considered as CM Nitish Kumar’s ambitious programme. The report also highlighted shortfalls and deficiencies in medical sector in Bihar. “Against construction of 12 medical colleges, including a dental college, taken during 2006-07 to 2016-17, only two such medical colleges became functional till 2018.
