At the summit, CII Jharkhand State Council Chairman, Ujjwal Chakraborty said that it is necessary for the development of the tribal community in Jharkhand. “The number of tribal entrepreneurship has increased in the State. It is important to give them the right platform.

Effective policies can bring significant development to any society,” he added.
On the occasion CII Jharkhand CSER Convenor, Saurav Roy said that there is a need to work more strongly on tribal entrepreneurship in Jharkhand. “Many value chains are coming to the State.
