In a strategic move to boost employment and infrastructural development in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced the formation of three new government departments.

As per the recent government notification dated December 12, the Civil Aviation Department will remain under the leadership of CM Kumar himself, reflecting the state's focus on enhancing aviation infrastructure.
