🗳️ Bihar Vidhansabha Election 2025: Jan Samvaad Karyakram, awakening the Power of Rural Voices. As Bihar gears up for the Elections, the spotlight is once again on the heart of India’s democratic strength — rural voters. Rural Bihar, home to nearly 89% of the state's population, has always played a decisive role in shaping political outcomes. Yet, voter awareness, participation, and trust in the electoral process still face challenges like misinformation, lack of access to reliable information, and socio-economic barriers. That’s where Jan Samvaad Karyakram emerges as a game-changer. 🔹 What is Jan Samvaad Karyakram? Jan Samvaad (meaning “public dialogue”) is an innovative citizen-centric outreach initiative designed to: 💡Educate voters about their rights and the importance of electoral participation. 💡Bridge the communication gap between institutions and rural communities. 💡Facilitate direct two-way interaction using mobile vans, local influencers/leaders, and multilingual tools. 💡Ensure inclusive participation of women, first-time voters, and marginalized communities. 📍 Why it matters for Bihar 2025 With over 7 crore voters, Bihar’s electoral landscape is vast and diverse. In the last assembly elections, voter turnout in rural segments was significantly lower than the state average in several districts. The Karyakram 2025 aims to change that narrative by: ✅ Hosting village-level chaupals to address myths around the voting process. ✅ Leveraging local folk artists & cultural mediums to make civic education relatable. ✅ Engaging ASHA workers, anganwadi sevikas, SHG leaders,& panchayat representatives as change agents. ✅ Using mobile tech and IVRS to reach even the remotest pockets. 🔍 Early Impact Stories 💡In Nawada, a Jan Samvaad van helped register over 1,500 new voters in just 10 days. 💡In Supaul, a women-led Samvaad event sparked a 22% increase in voter pledge sign-ups. 💡In Siwan, a community dialogue resolved long-standing myths around EVMs and VVPATs. 🛤️ The Road Ahead As we approach the Bihar elections, it's time for every stakeholder — government bodies, NGOs, influencers, and youth leaders to double down on rural engagement. Jan Samvaad Karyakram isn't just about voting; it's about dignity, inclusion, & participation.The more rural voices we include, the stronger and more representative our democracy becomes. --- 🔔 Let’s make Bihar 2025 a model of rural electoral participation. If you're working on civic tech, rural development, or community outreach, there’s never been a better time to join the movement. #BiharElections2025 #JanSamvaad #RuralEngagement #MatdaanMahotsav #ElectoralParticipation #DigitalDemocracy #IndiaVotes #GrassrootsLeadership BJP Bihar Indian National Congress - BIHAR R.J.D - राष्ट्रीय जनता दल Vikassheel Insaan Party हिन्दुस्तानी आवाम मोर्चा - Hindustani Awam Morcha The Plurals Party - TPP Lok Janshakti Party Janata Dal (United)
