Stating that AI (artificial intelligence) is playing a significant role in the era of communication revolution, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Saturday said the state government will soon introduce an “AI policy” and urged the young generation to contribute their ideas and efforts to make Bihar an AI hub.

While inaugurating the ‘Bihar AI Summit 2026’ at the Urja Auditorium here in the state capital, Mr. Choudhary said through AI, Bihar will become one of the leading developed states of the country.

Stating that AI will become an important part of life, Mr. Choudhary said, “About 1.2 billion people in India are using mobile phones today. The country has undergone a communication revolution under the able and effective leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

“Sustained efforts and initiatives will be taken to make Bihar an AI hub. The government will soon introduce an AI policy,” the CM said.

On the infrastructure front, Mr. Choudhary announced that the 125 km long Ganga Expressway, to be built at a cost of ₹ 30,000 crore, will be completed over the next three years under the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model. The new four-lane expressway named ‘Vishwamitra Path’ will improve connectivity between Patna and West Bihar. It will be about 125 km long, including almost 90 km of the waterfront section.

The Chief Minister said that the entire government machinery will be available to support the students appearing for the NEET exam on June 21. Students will be provided with free bus facility to reach the examination centres, the CM added.

“Return to Bihar”

Appealing to the migrant people of Bihar to return home, Mr. Choudhary said they should return from their workplaces to their motherland and repay their debt to the state. “The government is trying to provide job opportunities in Bihar itself for those who are forced to migrate for work,” he said.

Organized by the IT department in collaboration with Bihar Industries Association (BIA) and Qlass EdTech, the summit was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav, IT Minister Nitish Mishra and BharatGPT founder Ankush Agrawal.
