Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur Skill University in Bihar, praising the state’s progress in education. He highlighted how two and a half decades ago, Bihar’s education system was in disarray, with schools not functioning properly and many children forced to migrate to cities like Varanasi, Delhi, and Mumbai. Modi credited Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the NDA government for reviving the system and said the new university will further empower Bihar’s youth with skill-based education. The university is named after Bharat Ratna Karpoori Thakur.
