In a unique initiative during Shardiya Navratri, Chief Councillor Babita Kumari Yadav of Barari Nagar Panchayat in Katihar district has decided to make nine girls 'one-day symbolic chief councillors' on the lines of the film 'Nayak'. The primary aim of this initiative is to foster confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of social responsibility among young girls.

As part of this endeavor, Vidhi Suman, daughter of the late Acharya Pradeep Kumar alias Bablu Jha, and Kashish Chaudhary, daughter of businessman Amit Chaudhary, were made symbolic chief councillors for a day. Chief Councillor Babita Kumari Yadav seated both girls in her chair and sought their opinions on issues related to the town's development.

During their tenure, Vidhi Suman highlighted the need for a children's park for recreation, while Kashish Chaudhary advocated for a library to support the education of underprivileged students. Through their suggestions, both girls emphasized the importance of children's perspectives and their participation in urban development.

Chief Councillor Babita Kumari Yadav stated that the initiative is not merely about seating girls in a position of power but about involving them in decision-making processes to inspire them for the future. She believes this will boost their confidence and leadership abilities, alongside increasing their understanding of social responsibilities. Chief Councillor representative Neeraj Kashyap alias Hitler Yadav and other ward councillors were present, all commending this innovative step.
