Highlighting the growing role of technology, Choudhary directed officials to adopt Artificial Intelligence for real-time monitoring and improve governance efficiency.

Reviewing the Civil Aviation sector, officials informed the Chief Minister about ongoing efforts to strengthen air infrastructure and expand international connectivity. Plans are underway to operationalize international flight services from Patna and Gaya under a comprehensive aviation policy. Choudhary noted that the development of Aerocity projects around major airports would boost commercial, hospitality, logistics, and tourism infrastructure. He directed officials to prioritize safety and quality while preparing district-level plans for airport development.

The Chief Minister expressed confidence that improved air connectivity, expansion of airports, and the launch of international flights would significantly enhance Bihar’s economic growth and tourism potential.

On urban development, officials presented a roadmap for developing 11 satellite and greenfield townships. The model includes government investment in core infrastructure such as roads and drainage, while private investors will contribute to planned urban expansion. Notably, at least 55 percent of land will be returned to landowners under the proposed framework.
