In this exclusive ground report, in collaboration with Bharti News and powered by Molitics, we uncover the real truth behind Bihar’s forgotten promises. Back in 2014, Union Minister Giriraj Singh adopted Khanwa village in the Nawada Lok Sabha constituency under the prestigious Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana. At the time, he made a powerful pledge: to transform the village into a true “Model Village.” Among the most celebrated promises was his commitment to empower women by reviving the traditional handloom industry, a plan that was expected to bring employment, dignity, and self-reliance to hundreds of families in the area. However, Khanwa village, years after the promises were made, continues to face the same challenges—lack of development, poor infrastructure, and unfulfilled commitments. The promised empowerment through the handloom industry and other socio-economic initiatives never materialized, leaving the village trapped in a cycle of neglect. This report raises key questions: Where did the funds go? Why are the promises still unfulfilled? As Bihar Election 2025 approaches, the condition of Khanwa village serves as a reminder of the discrepancies between political pledges and ground realities. Join us as we take you through the unseen side of Bihar’s development story.
