Speaking to reporters after attending the 'Krishi Jan Kalyan Samvad' (Agriculture Public Welfare Dialogue) program held in Gaya on Saturday, Dr. Prem Kumar responded to the protests and demands of PhD students. He stated that the state government is continuously striving to listen to the students' issues and resolve them.

He explained that a portal for student-related matters has been launched under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, enabling students' complaints and issues to reach the government. These matters are being reviewed regularly, and the government is taking action on demands that are practical and feasible.

Dr. Prem Kumar remarked that Bihar is emerging as a state where the government not only listens to students' problems but also takes concrete steps toward resolving them. He assured that the government would seriously consider all aspects of the issues over which the students are protesting and would find appropriate solutions.
