Therefore, the Department of Education in Bihar has been working hard to restore its former status as a leader in education with the ultimate goal of preserving Bihar's identity, which is to continue spreading the light of education as it did during the time of Buddha.’
Under his governance, five directorates and several apex bodies have been working to create a supportive environment where young people, women, and others can explore their knowledge and skills by pursuing primary, secondary, higher education, and mass education.
