Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary Emphasises Space Technology for Governance and Development

 

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Thursday (October 29, 2026) stressed the need to integrate space-based technologies, modern scientific solutions, and innovations with the state’s development initiatives and administrative systems.

He was speaking at the Space Application Adoption Workshop 2026, held at Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Science City in Patna. The theme of the workshop was “Empowering Governance: Leveraging Space-Enabled Solutions for a Progressive Bihar”.

At the beginning of the programme, the Chief Minister visited an exhibition featuring applications developed by participants attending the two-day workshop. He sought detailed information about the new applications and their practical uses.

Choudhary directed officials to explore how these applications could be deployed across government departments and used for public welfare. He also called for efforts to identify the most accurate and effective technologies for different tasks and maximise the use of available equipment.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister launched the TechConnect portal. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was also signed between the Bihar Remote Sensing Application Centre (BIRSAC) and the Survey of India (SOI).

These initiatives aim to strengthen technical collaboration and make development planning more effective through the use of space-based applications.
