About:

  • The Bihar Vidhan Sabha building turned 100 years old on February 7, 2021.

  • Though the building where the session of the state assembly takes place these days, became ready by the end of 1920, it was formally inaugurated on February 7, 1921 by Lord Satyendra Prasanna Sinha, the first governor of the erstwhile Bihar and Orissa province.

  • The date also coincides with the beginning of the first session of the Bihar and Orissa Provincial Legislative Council. Lord Sinha addressed the first session after inaugurating the new building.
