Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Patna — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Government money points toward industry and education, but water execution looks shakier. Land acquisition for five new industrial areas was approved at Rs 812 crore, an education allocation reached 800 crore INR, and water tenders worth 826 crore were cancelled over insufficient due diligence.
WATCH Watch whether large allocations become visible industrial, education and water projects.
