“Magadha region is the life element of our ancient culture. It has a prominent place in the history of modern India due to its ancient tradition and cultural values and the invincible strength of this land adorned with the richness of philosophy, language and literature is guiding us.

The Lieutenant Governor called upon the people from all sections of the society to work together to revive the glory of ancient Magadha region.

The Lieutenant Governor also highlighted the dedicated efforts made under the guidance of Prime Minister NarendraModi, for the inclusive development of Magadha region and the state of Bihar.
