Over ₹60 Crore Cleared: 15 Administrative Buildings to Power Urban Bihar
Urban Bihar is on the move, and now, its governance will finally have a permanent home. The Urban Development and Housing Department has approved the construction of administrative buildings across 15 municipal bodies—a clear step toward stronger civic management.
Twelve newly formed urban bodies will receive their own buildings:
Akbarnagar, Pawapuri, Katoria, Shekhopur Sarai, Parbatta, Hasanpura, Itarhi, Kako, Muraul, Ghosi, Chandi, and Sariya.
Additionally, three long-established municipalities—Teghra, Balia, and Sheohar—that have been operating from temporary spaces will now get permanent buildings.
At present, many municipal offices function from rented buildings, community halls, or block offices. This often slows down administrative processes and weakens urban planning.
Minister Jivesh Kumar stated that this initiative aims to accelerate urban development by giving these towns solid infrastructure for municipal governance.
This is not a symbolic gesture—it’s a serious investment:
₹2.49 crore will be spent on each Nagar Panchayat building
₹4.98 crore has been allotted for each Municipal Council office
Total allocation across all 15 projects: Over ₹60 crore
According to Secretary Abhay Kumar Singh, each council building needs 16,000 sq ft of land, while Panchayat offices need 10,760 sq ft.
Urban bodies have been directed to submit land records, site maps, and no-objection certificates without delay. The goal is simple: move out of borrowed premises and start operating from purpose-built facilities.
This project reflects Bihar’s larger vision—a future where governance is not just accessible but also permanent, structured, and efficient.
