The Bihar Youth Commission will advise the government on all matters related to the upliftment and development of youth in the state.

It will coordinate with various government departments to ensure better education and employment opportunities for the youth.

The commission will comprise one chairman, two vice-chairmen, and seven members, with a maximum age limit of 45 years for appointees.

It will monitor the implementation of policies, ensuring priority to local youth in private and public sector jobs within the state.

The commission will also work to protect the interests of students and youth working outside the state.

Additionally, it will prepare programmes to prevent alcohol and drug abuse among youth and will send recommendations to the government on such social issues.

"The objective of this visionary initiative is to make the youth of Bihar self-reliant, skilled, and employment-oriented so that their future remains secure," the Chief Minister said.

The formation of the Bihar Youth Commission is being seen as a significant step by the government to address youth aspirations in the state in the run-up to the upcoming Assembly elections.
