Ranchi: Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar inaugurated the mega exhibition Swarṇim Bharat Expo 2025 at Sarla Birla University, calling it a vibrant confluence of knowledge, innovation, skill development, and modernity.

In his inaugural address, the Governor said the Expo brings together youth, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers on a single platform. He highlighted that the focus areas include skill development, agriculture, science and technology, handicrafts, tourism, energy, health, and environment—which he described as “pillars shaping the progress of a new India.”

The Governor praised the participation of premier national institutions such as DRDO, ISRO, CSIR, and ICMR, noting that their exhibits showcased the strength of India’s research and scientific capabilities. Referring to Chandrayaan-3 and the Aditya-L1 solar mission, he said these achievements had brought immense pride to the nation. He also acknowledged the contribution of Indian Air Force Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, calling him a role model for young Indians.

Emphasizing the Prime Minister’s vision of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and the call for “Vocal for Local,” Governor Gangwar said such initiatives are essential for realizing the goals of Viksit Bharat @2047. He expressed confidence that Jharkhand, with its natural resources, cultural heritage, and industrious human capital, would play a crucial role in nation-building.

The industry community will work to make Ranchi and Jharkhand hubs of knowledge, innovation, and opportunity.”
