Chief Minister Raghubar Das said that his pledge was not only to focus on mineral based industries but also other forest produce like Lac and silk.
Agriculture would also be another area which would get more focus.
Jharkhand is number one in Tasar silk and Lac, besides national coal reserves, labour reforms and inspection compliances and elimination of Kala-azar, according to a book-let.
The state is fifth FDI destination in the country and is in seventh place in ease of doing business and produces 25 per cent of the country's steel.
Stating that health and education would also be another focus areas, Das said skill training would be imparted to the poor in order to connect them with employment.
