Inside Bihar’s Rural Crisis: Water Scarcity, Joblessness & Migration

In this powerful ground report from Naya Tola village in Bazpatti Assembly, Sitamarhi, Rohit Jha from Witty Chokha exposes the harsh reality of rural Bihar. Despite the claims of development and government schemes like Har Ghar Nal Jal Yojana, villagers still struggle for clean drinking water due to incomplete pipelines and dried borewells.

With no local employment opportunities, people like Govind Kumar and Raman Rai are forced to migrate to Punjab and Haryana to work as laborers for survival. They share emotional accounts of low wages, exploitation, and family struggles. Villagers also complain about electricity shortages, corruption in local panchayat projects, and lack of support for farmers.

As Bihar moves toward Election 2025, villagers say unemployment and migration are the real issues not slogans. Many show support for Tejashwi Yadav, hoping for better job opportunities and basic facilities. This report reveals the true voice of Bihar’s rural population, demanding real development and accountability.
