'Bihar Is Getting Stuck In Welfare Trap': Ruchir Sharma To NDTV

In this in-depth conversation with Rahul Kanwal, global investor and author Ruchir Sharma lays out what Bihar must do to attract serious investment. Speaking candidly, Sharma says that while Bihar has talent, its weak education system, lack of skilled workforce, and persistent law-and-order image problems continue to deter investors.

He questions whether the state's heavy focus on agro-based industries is the right strategy for a landlocked region, and explains why even sectors like real estate and construction struggle to take off.
