Samrat Choudhary addressed the audience at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2026, asserting that a truly developed India hinges on the prosperity of Bihar. He highlighted that the state's economic performance, infrastructure upgrades and human development indicators are pivotal for national progress.
The forum, which brings together policymakers, business leaders and academics, provided a platform for Choudhary to stress the need for focused investment in Bihar's agriculture, education and health sectors. He argued that balanced regional growth would reduce disparities and boost overall productivity.
Choudhary’s remarks echo a growing consensus among Indian leaders that inclusive development must move beyond traditional growth hubs.
