Introduction
The Minority Morcha, an essential initiative under the Rashtriya Lok Morcha, is dedicated to the
empowerment, development, and inclusion of minority communities in Bihar. These communities, which
include Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Parsis, form a vital part of Bihar's diverse
cultural and social landscape. Despite their rich contributions to the state’s growth, many in these
communities face challenges in accessing education, employment, healthcare, and political
representation.
The Minority Morcha aims to bridge this gap by providing equal opportunities and support for holistic
development, ensuring that minority communities in Bihar thrive with dignity, prosperity, and security.
