Jharkhand is such a region that has natural resources and food resources and there is a big scope to lead in the three areas of the economy --- agriculture, services and manufacturing industry.

If food grains are there in manufacturing and industry then there would be value addition, and a scope would come (for investments), he told a press conference said.
Agriculture in Jharkhand has always been good. And the moment there would be economic growth services would come up and investments would come.
