On November 15, 2025, Chief Minister Aarav Pathak unleashed a seismic shift in Bihar's governance, leveraging the ₹19,800 crore recovered from RAKSHAK's raids to fuel a historic recruitment drive. The funds, now secured in Bihar's treasury, were channeled into the Bihar Future Fund and a bold initiative to rebuild the state's workforce. Aarav announced a massive hiring push for government jobs—102,000 openings across critical sectors—under the temporary oversight of the RAKSHAK task force and the Bihar cabinet Ministry, with the DIGIBIHAR platform set to take over management by mid-2026. The move, aimed at bolstering education, healthcare, policing, engineering, and rural development, sent waves of excitement through Bihar's aspirational youth.
The recruitment spanned multiple examinations, each designed to fill essential roles with competent, clean-record candidates. The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) opened 10,000 posts for administrative roles, while the Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission (BPSSC) offered 5,000 police positions to strengthen law enforcement. The Bihar Teacher Eligibility Test (BTET) announced 50,000 teacher vacancies to transform schools. The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) and Bihar Combined Graduate Level Examination (BCECE) opened 10,000 and 15,000 posts, respectively, for various graduate-level roles. The Bihar State Health Society (BSHS) targeted 10,000 healthcare workers, and the Bihar Engineering Services Exam (BES) sought 500 engineers. Most innovative was the newly launched GAURAV program—Gramin Anaj Uttarak Raksha Arogya Vigyan—recruiting 1,500 engineers for rural development, agriculture, and scientific innovation. In total, 102,000 jobs were up for grabs, a scale unseen in Bihar's history.
The announcement, made via the DIGIBIHAR portal (temporarily managed by RAKSHAK and this portal currently is the Bihar Government Website), sparked euphoria across the state. In Patna's colleges, students huddled around phones, refreshing the portal to apply. In Samastipur, Aarav's home village, youth lined up at cyber cafes, their faces lit with hope. "Government jobs are our dream," said a 22-year-old BTET aspirant in Muzaffarpur, clutching her books. "Aarav sir's made it real." Bihar's love for secure government employment, long a cultural cornerstone, found new life. Social media buzzed with #BiharJobs and #AaravDelivers, as applicants shared screenshots of their applications. Migrant workers in Delhi and Mumbai sent messages home, urging siblings to apply. "Bihar's calling us back," a factory worker in Pune told a local reporter, grinning.
To maximize efficiency and cut costs, Aarav's government scheduled all exams for a single day: December 15, 2025. The move, proposed by Finance Minister Dr. Vikram Sinha, saved an estimated ₹100 crore in logistics. The exam fee, set at a modest ₹250 per candidate, ensured accessibility for Bihar's poorest. "No one's excluded for lack of money," Aarav said in a press conference, his voice resolute. The DIGIBIHAR portal streamlined applications, with Aadhaar-linked registration preventing fraud. Education Minister Dr. Neha Sharma ensured exam centers in every district, with special provisions for rural candidates, including free transport to venues.
The scale of the recruitment shocked even seasoned observers. A Bihar Times editorial called it "a masterstroke of governance," predicting the influx of fresh talent would transform schools, hospitals, and police stations. National media in Delhi praised Aarav's audacity, with one anchor noting, "Bihar's rewriting its story, one job at a time." In villages like Gaya and Bhagalpur, tea stalls buzzed with talk of "Aarav's jobs," with parents dreaming of children staying home instead of migrating.
The opposition, still reeling from the raids, cried foul. In a heated press meet, a Jan Kalyan Dal leader accused Aarav of "buying votes with jobs" and misusing RAKSHAK to rush the process. "This is a stunt, not reform!" they claimed, questioning the exams' fairness. Aarav, unfazed, responded in a viral video from his Patna office. "These jobs aren't favors—they're Bihar's right," he said, holding up a DIGIBIHAR printout of the 102,000 vacancies. "Every hire will be transparent, merit-based, and audited. The old ways are dead."
By December, Bihar was abuzz with preparation. Coaching centers in Patna overflowed with aspirants, and rural libraries saw record footfall. The promise of 102,000 jobs, backed by the ₹19,800 crore windfall, fueled a belief that Aarav's government was different. In Samastipur, Aarav visited his grandmother Kamla, now bedridden but alert. "They're calling you a hero," she whispered, her eyes shining. Aarav smiled softly. "Not yet, Dadi. The real work starts when these jobs build a new Bihar." As exam day loomed, Aarav knew the stakes: success would cement his legacy, but any misstep could embolden his enemies. The future hung in the balance.
By mid-December 2025, the announcement of 102,000 government jobs under Chief Minister Aarav Pathak's administration had set Bihar ablaze with hope, debate, and division. The recruitment drive, spanning police, education, healthcare, engineering, and the innovative GAURAV program (Gramin, Anaj, Uttarak, Raksha, Arogya, Vigyan), was a historic gambit to transform Bihar's workforce. With exams scheduled for December 15 and the DIGIBIHAR platform managing applications, the state buzzed with anticipation. The age eligibility—21 to 32 years—opened doors for Bihar's youth, but it also fueled fierce reactions from media, citizens, opposition, and other states.
The people of Bihar were electrified. In Patna's bustling markets, rickshaw pullers and shopkeepers discussed the openings over chai, marveling at the scale: 50,000 teachers, 15,000 police, 10,000 healthcare workers, and more. In rural Darbhanga, families gathered around radios, listening to updates about the ₹250 exam fee, affordable even for the poorest. Social media platforms like X exploded with #BiharJobs, with posts like, "Aarav sir's given us a future at home!" going viral. Migrant workers in Delhi and Mumbai, many ineligible due to age, still celebrated, hoping their younger siblings could stay in Bihar. A street vendor in Gaya told Bihar Times, "My son's 23. He's studying for BTET. Aarav's made us believe Bihar can keep our kids." The recovered ₹19,800 crore from RAKSHAK's raids, now earmarked for these jobs and infrastructure, fueled public faith that Aarav's government was delivering.
The media amplified the fervor. Bihar Times ran a front-page story titled "Aarav's 1 Lakh Jobs: Bihar's New Dawn," praising the recruitment as a masterstroke to curb migration and boost human capital. National outlets in Delhi called it "a bold experiment," with one columnist noting, "Bihar's hiring 102,000 in one go is a signal to India: Pathak's rewriting governance." TV channels aired debates, with analysts lauding the low exam fee and single-day testing as cost-effective and inclusive. However, some outlets cautioned that the rushed timeline risked logistical chaos, citing the challenge of managing 20 lakh applicants across 38 districts.
The opposition, led by the Rashtriya Vikas Party and Jan Kalyan Dal, seized the opportunity to attack. In a fiery press conference in Patna, an opposition MLA branded the recruitment "a populist stunt to distract from Aarav's failures." They criticized the 32-year age cap, claiming it excluded experienced candidates. "Pathak's favoring his young voter base, sidelining seniors who've served Bihar," a Jan Kalyan Dal leader sneered, accusing him of rigging exams via DIGIBIHAR's opaque systems. On X, opposition supporters spread #AaravCheats, alleging the jobs were a vote-buying scheme. Yet, their attacks struggled to gain traction; the public, especially youth, saw the openings as a lifeline, not a ploy.
Other state ministers watched with a mix of awe and envy. Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister, speaking at a Delhi summit, called Bihar's move "ambitious but risky," warning of fiscal strain. Tamil Nadu's Education Minister praised Aarav's focus on teachers, tweeting, "Bihar's 50,000 teacher jobs set a benchmark. We're watching." In private, some ministers grumbled about Bihar stealing the spotlight, with a Maharashtra official muttering to a reporter, "Pathak's making us look slow." The central government, cautious, issued a statement supporting "Bihar's innovative approach" but urged transparency in hiring.
In Bhagalpur, a 24-year-old engineering student, Rohan Kumar, embodied the hope sweeping Bihar's youth. Studying at NIT Bhagalpur, Rohan was preparing for the GAURAV exam, aiming to become a rural development engineer under Aarav's leadership. Sitting in his cramped hostel room, surrounded by books on irrigation and sustainable agriculture, Rohan felt a surge of purpose. "I grew up in a village with no roads, no power," he told a friend, his voice steady. "Aarav sir's GAURAV program is about fixing that. I want to build bridges for my people, not leave for a job in Bangalore." He admired Aarav's journey—from Samastipur to IIT Patna—and saw him as a leader who understood struggle. "He's not like the old netas," Rohan said, highlighting Aarav's initiatives like the ₹19,800 crore recovery and DIGIBIHAR's transparency. "I'll give the exam to serve Bihar, not just for a job."
As December 15 approached, Bihar's exam centers buzzed with preparation. Volunteers, trained by Education Minister Dr. Neha Sharma, ensured rural candidates had access to transport and study materials. The DIGIBIHAR portal, overseen temporarily by RAKSHAK, handled 18 lakh applications flawlessly, its Aadhaar-linked system thwarting fraud. Aarav, working late in his Patna office, reviewed logistics with Finance Minister Dr. Vikram Sinha. "This is our test," Aarav said, gripping his grandmother's locket. "If we pull this off, Bihar believes in us forever." The opposition's barbs and logistical challenges loomed, but the state's youth, like Rohan, carried Aarav's vision forward. The exam day would be Bihar's turning point—or its breaking point.
