“Bihari people are hardworking, honest and responsible. If the Bihari diaspora and resources are channelised in a planned manner under a vision, then Bihar can emerge as a centre of skilled manpower. We know that technology, and the aspirations of young Biharis, are creating new opportunities in Bihar. We have great hopes from the energetic NRI Biharis will use their expertise and experiences to make Bihar a leading State,” Yadav said.
He said to bring tourism in Bihar to the world stage, a new tourism policy was being planned along with a new Information & Technology policy to facilitate the development of the IT sector in Bihar.

“The process of [formulating] these policies is in the final stages.

World class infrastructure is being developed along with quality education, better law and order, and an excellent health system. There is no dearth of talent in Bihar. We just have to boost that talent and create a new and developed Bihar with new technology, training, team work, and coordinated efforts,” Yadav asserted.
