As someone working in renewable energy, I'm particularly excited about Jharkhand focusing on energy transition at Davos. This is a massive opportunity for green investment. Hope they can attract serious players for solar and hydro projects.

"One India, One Vision" sounds good, but I hope this cooperation translates to tangible benefits for the people of Jharkhand. We need jobs and infrastructure development, not just photo-ops at international summits. The focus on electronics manufacturing is promising though.

Superfoods and food processing from Jharkhand! Finally, our traditional millets and forest produce getting the global spotlight they deserve. This can be a game-changer for tribal farmers if handled correctly. 🤞

Interesting to see multiple Indian states presenting independently yet in alignment. UP with its $1 trillion target and Jharkhand with minerals. Shows the diverse economic engines within the country. Smart strategy.

The tourism potential of Jharkhand is hugely untapped. Hope they market our waterfalls, forests, and tribal heritage effectively at Davos. Could bring much-needed revenue and create local entrepreneurship opportunities.
