Jharkhand professionals discuss roadmap for economic transformation at ‘Think 2029’ meet

Ranchi, Nov 11 (UNI) Professionals from different sectors on Wednesday discussed Jharkhand's economic potential, development challenges and future policy priorities at a symposium titled ‘Think 2029 – Professionals for Economic Transformation’, organised by the All India Professionals' Congress, Jharkhand, in Ranchi.
The meeting, held at Hotel BNR Chanakya, was chaired by state unit general secretary and Professionals' in-charge Aditya Vikram Jaiswal. Congress in-charge for Jharkhand K Raju, All India Professionals' Congress president Madhu Yashki Goud, writer and columnist Suveer Saran and state Congress president Keshav Mahto Kamlesh attended the programme.
Agriculture Minister Shilpi Neha Tirkey, former union minister Subodh Kant Sahay and former minister Bandhu Tirkey were among those present.
Addressing the gathering, Goud said professionals had played an important role in the country's freedom movement and nation-building and should contribute to shaping India's future. He said the organisation would work on suggestions emerging from the discussions, particularly in areas such as education, single-window systems and the sustainable use of Jharkhand's natural resources.
K Raju said the state unit should identify professionals committed not only to development but also to equality, quality education and healthcare. He said the engagement with professionals would continue over the next two years to help formulate a vision for Jharkhand.
Agriculture Minister Shilpi Neha Tirkey said the Professionals' Congress, formed in 2017, aimed to bring experts from different sectors, including healthcare, onto a common platform to provide inputs for policymaking.
Jaiswal said Jharkhand had talent, opportunities and resources but needed better guidance and policy direction. The initiative, he said, aimed to encourage industrial growth, create employment opportunities for young people and strengthen domestic industries so that migration could be reduced.
A panel discussion brought together professionals, including doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, academics, entrepreneurs and legal experts. Participants shared suggestions on the state's economic development and policy priorities.
The programme was attended by several Congress leaders, professionals and representatives of different sectors.
