It's Not Trending

In the era of digitalization and when everything is moving so fast, being a citizen in tier-III city of Bihar, I hardly find anything that is trending for the development of the citizen of Bihar.
Bihar has Malls, Huge buildings, great infrastructure, and society which are waiting to embrace the change. You can find all these but the most crucial thing that helps in developing the lifestyle of the society is corporate culture. This is missing.
We do have investors who are investing in real estate, into huge projects which are growing leaps and bounds in other states than in Bihar.
Why is the government of Bihar so adamant to get Bihar under the category of Special state? Why is it not thinking of converting the state Bihar as a Smart State?
I may not be the right person to comment on the policies drafted and implemented by the state government, but as the citizen of Bihar, I feel my state is not trending. There is a tendency in the youth to move out of the state in search of jobs. The one who is living is struggling to get placed only in government job keeping in consideration growth and security.
In India, in many states, the private companies, as well as the MNC's, are providing numerous opportunities to its citizen, here is a state where there is hardly any reach of private players. We hardly have any MNC.
The condition of different states like Telangana, Uttarakhand wasn't better two-three decades ago but when we see the current situation, these states have attracted not only the national investors but also there are many international companies that are investing in these states making them rich in employment and a wonderful place for living.
We need a 360-degree change in the outlook and the way we present our state to the nation. Bihar is not trending due to two major reasons:
1.    The government which is insensitive towards many major issues
2.    The citizen, in particular, the well-educated youth which hardly demands its basic right of employment in its own domicile.
The stern action is to be taken by the corporate players and should think of considering Bihar state as the right option for setting up their branch. I wish this could happen.
