00:00The general budget of the KN government is about to come and the people of Bihar are also hopeful.

00:07A letter has also been sent to the Minister of Environment from the Bihar Industries Association.

00:13We have with us the head of the Bihar Industries Association, K.P.S. Keshri.

00:18Mr. Keshri, what kind of demand have you sent from here?

00:23We have sent a long letter of 4-5 pages.

00:28It is related to taxation and some of it is related to financing.

00:32As we have said, we will have to give Rs. 50,000 crores to the state for 10 years.

00:41Some of it is related to transportation.

00:48The transportation through the river is the cheapest.

00:54We have a number of national riverways in the Ganges.

01:00But we have not been able to use it for years because it collects waste.

01:07We have said that we will have to do a dredging and make a new river.

01:14We have said that all over the country,

01:19like you have made aspirational districts,

01:23you should look at the backward districts and give them specific funding.

01:30You should give them income tax or a higher rate of investment allowance.

01:37The government has a lot of tools.

01:41If we do that, we believe that 15-20 districts will be covered in Bihar.

01:47We will be able to move forward with the industrialization process.

01:56You have asked for Rs. 50,000 crores every year.

01:59Is it for the industries or for the whole of Bihar?

02:01No, it is for the whole of Bihar.

02:02Basically, it is for infrastructure development.

02:05What is happening is that we are lagging behind.

02:08Last year, we were physically present there and told the government that

02:14it is the government's duty to remove the regional imbalance.

02:21As you can see, there is a flood.

02:24Why is there a flood?

02:26The water from the other side of the country, Nepal, flows at a higher level than ours.

02:31There, both the river bed and the water flow at a higher level.

02:35If you look at the area of Kosi,

02:37the level of the river bed is higher than that of the land outside.

02:46So, even if there is a little water, it overflows.

02:54How many pages are there?

02:56I think there are 7-8 pages.

02:59Look at this.

03:03We have given this to them.

03:05This is for 7-8 pages.

03:07We have given this to them.

03:09We have given this to them.

03:15If you look at this,

03:17we have told you that the most important thing we have said is this.

03:25You want to put this.

03:27Look at this point.

03:29Why are we asking for 50,000 crores?

03:31The reason we are asking for 50,000 crores is that

03:34we want to build an industrial corridor in Calcutta.

03:40Our state does not have that much money.

03:42Our land is also expensive.

03:44We want to build an industrial township on that corridor.

03:48The government will also want to build it.

03:50We are giving suggestions.

03:52What is the meaning of an industrial township?

03:54Noida is a city.

03:56It is not a city.

03:58It was imagined as an industrial township.

04:00Delhi to Bombay is an industrial township.

04:04On that corridor,

04:06the city is being built in 100 square kilometers.

04:12We have asked for money for this.

04:15We have asked for money for a smart city.

04:18Until the urbanization is not done,

04:20our urbanization level is very low.

04:22It used to be 11%.

04:24Now it has been increased a little.

04:26It has been shown on the paper.

04:2815-17%

04:30What is the hope this time?

04:32I hope that

04:34we are not asking for a grant.

04:38Our suggestion is that

04:40we give an interest-free loan.

04:42The government has provided this

04:44in a few places.

04:46It has been done in tourism.

04:48The infrastructure deficit

04:50that you have,

04:52you buy it and build it.

04:54We will give you an interest-free loan

04:56for 25 years.

04:58We are saying that

05:00you give 50,000 crores

05:02to the state

05:04in an interest-free loan.

05:06After 25 years,

05:08you will get it back

05:10when our level rises.

05:12You may be surprised now,

05:14but it is true.

05:16If you look at our electricity consumption,

05:18it is above 300.

05:20If we look at the national average,

05:22it is above 1300.

05:24We are at one-fourth of that.

05:26How will we progress?

05:28If you look at our per capita income,

05:30it is 60,000 rupees.

05:34If we look at the national level,

05:38it is 1,84,000 crores.

05:40It is a difference of one third.

05:42To move forward,

05:44we will have to do something.

05:46We are asking for a loan.

05:48I don't think there is a need for a grant.

05:50There is a need for a loan.

05:52If we get a loan and an interest-free loan,

05:54we will move forward.

05:56K.P.S. Kesari is the

05:58head of the Bihar Industry Association.

06:00He has sent a request

06:02and a demand of 10 pages

06:04to the Central Minister, Sitaraman.

06:06He hopes that

06:08the 50,000 rupees that we are asking

06:10every year from Bihar

06:12will help in the development

06:14of the industrial area in Bihar

06:16and will help in many areas.

06:18For example, in electricity,

06:20per capita income,

06:22and in the industries.

06:24With cameraman Ashok,
