Patna: New Industries Minister Dilip Jaiswal took the helm on Tuesday, immediately laying out his main goals: pulling in investment and creating jobs for the state’s young workforce.
When reporters asked him about his focus, Jaiswal said, “The Bihar government made two major promises during the election—ensuring a crime‑free state and providing jobs to the youth. The Industries Department has the most important role in creating jobs.”
He went on to praise the department’s energetic staff, noting that “The department has several dynamic officers who have a positive approach towards expanding employment opportunities in Bihar. My goal is to turn challenges into opportunities. We will continue the work initiated by the previous minister and ensure large‑scale job creation.”
Jaiswal emphasized that the Industries Department has been a key driver of Bihar’s industrial expansion, helping the state become more self‑sufficient. “Our aim is to transform Bihar into an investment hub so that more people can access employment,” he added.
He highlighted the various industrial programmes the government is running—Mukhya Mantri Udyami Yojana, Bihar Laghu Udyami Yojana, the Startup Policy, and the Bihar Industrial Investment Promotion Package—and assured that these schemes would be vigorously implemented on the field.
“We will actively invite new investors to Bihar. I assure that I will work with full transparency to make Bihar an important industrial state,” Jaiswal said.
Jaiswal formally assumed the Industries Ministry on Tuesday, taking over a portfolio that was previously held by BJP leader Nitish Mishra.
As the state BJP president, Jaswal said that since his induction on July 25, 2024, he has been fully committed to strengthening both the party and the NDA alliance. “When I was appointed as the state president of the BJP, I had two main objectives—unite all constituent partners of the NDA and ensure the deployment of our workers at the booth level. Under my tenure as BJP president, our government has been formed in Bihar,” he noted.
