The future of Sugar Mills in Bihar may change soon. The state government has started work to reopen closed mills and build new ones. On Monday, Chief Secretary Pratyay Amrit asked the Sugarcane Industry Department for a detailed report on all Sugar Mills in Bihar. He also reviewed plans for new mills.
A high-level committee met under his leadership to discuss the revival of old mills and the setup of new ones. Principal Secretary Narmadeshwar Lal gave a full presentation on the current status of operating and closed mills.
The Chief Secretary instructed officials to study all documents related to old and newly opened mills. He asked the department to prepare a clear and accurate report before the next review meeting.
This committee was formed after a key cabinet decision to strengthen the sugarcane industry. Its main goal is to create policies that help set up new mills and restart closed ones. With this, farmers can earn more, and more jobs can be created in the state.
Sugarcane Commissioner Anil Kumar Jha and senior officials from Industries, Cooperatives, and Agriculture attended the meeting.
To support the sector, the committee can also invite national and international experts whenever required.
