Das on a road show in US.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das, who is currently on a road show in the United States, has invited investors to ‘Make in Jharkhand’ saying the state is one of the richest states in India and assured security of investment to industries and entrepreneurs.
Das, who held a road show in New York on Thursday, called on businesses from across the US to invest in sectors like agriculture, as he touted investor-friendly policies and an atmosphere of ease of doing business in his state.
“Both the ‘niyat’ (intention) and ‘niti’ (policy) of the state government are good. For the economic development of any state, industrial growth plays a very important role. Jharkhand is a land full of opportunities and possibilities, whether in industry, agriculture, IT or tourism,” Das was quoted as saying by PTI.
“I invite you to invest in Jharkhand, there are several possibilities in various sectors. Jharkhand has the potential to become an IT and automobile hub,” he said at a seminar organized by Confederation of Indian Industries in partnership with USIBC on the investment opportunities in Jharkhand.
He added that the state will play a crucial role in the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious ‘Make in India’ program and the state’s medical, urban development and higher education sector also offer tremendous investment opportunities.
Das is on a multi-city tour across the US to attract foreign direct investment for giving impetus to Jharkhand’s mining sector. He kicked off his official schedule on September 26 by attending the Mining Expo near Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada, the largest mining show in the world.
He also extended an invitation to American investors and companies for the global investors summit to be held in Ranchi in February, 2017.
