For the first time, the Jharkhand government will participate in the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) to be held in Davos, Switzerland later this month.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren will lead the 11-member delegation from January 18 to 26. The visit coincides with 25 years of Jharkhand’s statehood and marks Jharkhand’s first-ever participation at the WEF.
A senior officer posted at the Chief Minister’s house said the engagement reflected the State’s intent to position itself on global platforms as it entered the next phase of its long-term development journey.
“Jharkhand’s participation at Davos is anchored in the theme ‘Growth in Harmony with Nature’, which aligns closely with the World Economic Forum’s 2026 focus on sustainable growth, resilience, trust, and long-term economic transformation,“ the official said.
During the WEF meeting, the Jharkhand delegation would participate in State-led thematic sessions, structured dialogues, and official interactions at the India Pavilion and other WEF platforms.
