Bihar has organised two similar events in the past. The first was Resurgent Bihar in 2007, followed by Changing Bihar in 2012. The upcoming convention will be the third such event, with a new focus on changing the state’s economy and creating better opportunities for its people. The programme will cover three major areas:
- Industrialisation: Attracting investment, supporting startups and creating more jobs.
- Sustainable urbanisation: Improving city facilities and developing smaller towns.
- Education and skill development: Improving education and preparing young people for future jobs.
There will be seven plenary sessions and 10 separate discussions. Other topics will include agriculture, rural development, tourism, artificial intelligence (AI), women’s empowerment, youth employment and better governance.
Special Programmes to Connect Biharis Living Abroad
People from Bihar who now live in other states and countries will also be invited to take part in the event. The organisers want to use their experience, professional knowledge and investment support to help the state grow.
