Global Engagement Led by Visionary Leadership

The Jharkhand delegation, led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, is actively interacting with global industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and multilateral institutions. These engagements are taking place across multiple platforms, including the India Pavilion, the Jharkhand Pavilion, and various international forums in Davos. The delegation’s presence reflects a deliberate effort to connect local governance priorities with global economic and environmental agendas.

Growth in Harmony with Nature

At the core of Jharkhand’s global outreach lies a development philosophy described as Growth in Harmony with Nature. This vision emphasizes balancing economic progress with environmental protection, social equity, and long-term resilience. As the state completes 25 years since its formation, Jharkhand is redefining its identity beyond being a resource-rich region. It is now positioning itself as a governance-driven economy capable of delivering sustainable and inclusive growth.

Strategic Dialogues with Global Corporations

During the forum, the chief minister is holding strategic meetings with representatives from major global corporations, technology leaders, infrastructure developers, and investment groups. These interactions focus on exploring opportunities in sustainable manufacturing, green energy, digital transformation, advanced infrastructure, and climate-aligned industrial development. The discussions are designed to create partnerships that support innovation while respecting environmental and social responsibilities.

Focus on Energy Transition and Resilient Supply Chains

Jharkhand’s participation also includes involvement in high-level ministerial dialogues and panel discussions on critical global themes. These include energy transition, sustainability at scale, regional leadership, critical minerals, and India’s role in strengthening resilient global supply chains. Through these conversations, the state is highlighting the importance of sub-national governments in managing land, labor, natural resources, and climate risks, thereby contributing meaningfully to global solutions.

Jharkhand Pavilion as an Investment Gateway

One of the major highlights of the delegation’s presence is the inauguration of the Jharkhand Pavilion. This dedicated platform showcases the state’s investment potential, progressive policy reforms, and long-term development roadmap. The pavilion reflects Jharkhand’s transformation from a mining-dependent economy to one focused on green growth, value-added manufacturing, responsible resource management, and inclusive job creation.

People-Centric and Inclusive Development Approach

In his interactions at various forums, the chief minister has emphasized that Jharkhand’s development strategy is rooted in people, nature, and sustainability. The state is prioritizing responsible mining practices, integration of renewable energy, community participation in development processes, women-led entrepreneurship, and large-scale skill development. This approach ensures that economic growth translates into shared prosperity across communities.

Strengthening Global Trust and Transparency

Jharkhand’s engagement at Davos also involves extensive interaction with global and Indian media. Through these conversations, the state is reinforcing the message that economic opportunity must go hand in hand with responsibility, transparency, and long-term value creation. As global demand for energy, raw materials, and skilled talent continues to grow, Jharkhand is positioning itself as a stable and trustworthy partner for sustainable investment.

Looking Ahead to a Future-Oriented 2050 Vision

As Jharkhand looks toward 2050, its presence at the World Economic Forum represents a defining milestone. For a state that is just 25 years old, stepping onto such a prominent global platform signals confidence, maturity, and readiness to contribute to the global sustainability agenda. The forum marks the beginning of a new chapter focused on inclusive, future-oriented, and environmentally responsible growth guided by the principle of harmony with nature.

Coordinated National Preparedness

Ahead of the forum, Chief Minister Hemant Soren also participated in a high-level virtual review meeting chaired by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
