The Election Commission of India (ECI) has appointed Nitu Chandra and Kranti Prakash Jha as SVEEP icons for Bihar. SVEEP, which stands for Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation, is the ECI’s flagship program aimed at increasing voter awareness and participation, especially in regions with historically low voter turnout as public figures with strong roots in Bihar, Nitu Chandra and Kranti Jha are expected to use their influence to connect with citizens and encourage informed and active electoral engagement. Their selection aligns with the broader goal of strengthening democracy through inclusive voter education initiatives.
