Efforts are gaining momentum to revive long-closed sugar mills in Bihar's Mithilanchal region. A membership drive has been launched for the revival of the Sakri and Raiyam sugar mills. The 'Mithilanchal Sugar Mill Revival Struggle Committee,' comprising local farmers and intellectuals, is spearheading this initiative. The committee aims to reactivate these mills on a cooperative model, directly benefiting sugarcane farmers and laborers in the area.

The committee members emphasize that the Sakri and Raiyam sugar mills were once the backbone of Mithilanchal's economy. Their closure led to widespread unemployment among thousands of farmers and laborers, halting the region's economic progress. Now, with the cooperation of the government and local community, efforts are underway to revitalize these mills. The membership drive focuses on raising capital and ensuring community participation. Farmers are urged to actively participate to secure sufficient resources and public support for the mills' successful operation.

Officials stated that the revival plan includes utilizing modern technologies to enhance mill efficiency. Additionally, there are plans to provide advanced seeds and technical assistance to farmers to promote sugarcane cultivation. This initiative is expected to not only increase sugar production but also generate additional income through co-products like ethanol. This project could be a significant step towards strengthening Mithilanchal's agrarian economy and creating new employment opportunities for local youth.
