“We are receiving overwhelming response from local companies eager to be a part of first ever Global Investor Summit (GIS) in the State. It is also pleasing to know that many among them who have visited Jharkhand previously for one reason or the other, have positive image and memories of the State and its natural beauty,” said Ravi Kumar on Thursday from Surat.
The series of road-shows which started last year to woo global investors with Chief Minister Raghubar Das visiting USA and Singapore is in final stages with the government departments organising such shows in domestic market. Before Surat on Saturday, a team led by Barnwal organised a road-show in Kolkata amongst foundry business there.
