The foundation stone for a new MSME Technology Centre was laid at Khizarsarai in Gaya, Bihar, by Union Minister for MSME Jitan Ram Manjhi and Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on June 15, 2026. The project involves an investment of ₹170 crore and aims to strengthen industrial development and skill enhancement in the region. The centre will feature advanced facilities such as an Industry 4.0 laboratory, production and training blocks, and hostel accommodations. It is expected to train around 7,000 individuals annually and provide technical support to more than 1,000 MSMEs each year, benefiting the broader Magadh region of Bihar.
