A Vision for a Technology-Driven Bihar
Addressing the gathering, the Hon’ble Chief Minister appreciated the work being undertaken by CIMAGE in the fields of technology and education.
He highlighted the importance of taking such initiatives beyond a single institution and shared a larger vision for developing technology centres across Bihar on the lines of the CIMAGE model.
A Vision for 100 Technology Centres Across Bihar
One of the most powerful moments of the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s address was his vision of taking the CIMAGE approach to technology education and innovation beyond a single institution.
Appreciating CIMAGE’s contribution, he envisioned a future where at least 100 technology centres across Bihar could be developed in the form of CIMAGE, creating wider opportunities for technology education, innovation and future-ready learning for the state’s youth.
“आज एक CIMAGE है, ऐसी कल्पना कीजिए कि पूरे बिहार में कम से कम 100 CIMAGE के स्वरूप में टेक्नोलॉजी का सेंटर बन सके।”
The vision places the CIMAGE IT Park in a larger context — not simply as a new facility, but as an example of how technology-focused education and innovation can contribute to a broader ecosystem across Bihar.
