Early after the formation of the new government, work to promote industries has been accelerated. The Chief Minister stated that policies will be formulated based on the suggestions of leading entrepreneurs and experts associated with the state to make Bihar a hub of the new-age economy.
He also stated that a detailed action plan is being prepared to establish Bihar as a global back-end hub and global workplace. The plan is to leverage the youth population to make Bihar the new technology hub of Eastern India.
To achieve this, a defense corridor, semiconductor manufacturing parks, global capability centers, mega tech cities, and fintech cities will be established.

Providing government jobs and employment to as many youth as possible in the state has been our priority from the beginning. Under Saat Nischay-2, 5 million youth in the state were given government jobs and employment between 2020-25.
In the next five years (2025-30), we have set a target of providing jobs and employment to 10 million youth.
