Patna recently hosted the 2nd edition of Live Times XChange, a ground-breaking conclave by Live Times, India’s First Global Multicast News Hub. The event brought together policymakers, thought leaders, and journalists to spotlight Bihar’s development and the importance of fact-based journalism.
The conclave focused on transparent governance, leadership, and the role of credible media in empowering citizens. It presented a bold vision for a progressive India, rooted in facts and guided by public trust.
Senior leaders spoke on Bihar’s journey. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary highlighted the state’s economic rise, establishment of new medical colleges, and growth in green fuel production. Rural Development Minister Shrawon Kumar spoke about women’s empowerment through self-help groups and noted the near-complete electrification and tap water access in rural areas. Former Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav emphasized the need for youth-led growth, calling for innovation and transparency, with media playing a responsible role.
Governor Arif Mohammad Khan added a philosophical perspective, urging the need to balance scientific advancement with ethical values. “India’s journey towards 2047 must be guided by unity, compassion, and cultural wisdom,” he said, reminding attendees that journalism must remain free from bias and uphold democracy.
Dilip Kumar Singh, Founder, Live Times Founder said, “Live Times was launched because people were losing faith in the news. Today, there’s too much noise, too many headlines without truth. We decided to take a different path—to stand by the people and stand for the truth. In an age where fiction and sensational headlines spread faster than truth, Live Times stands by one commitment—Sampoorna Satya, Har Keemat Par (Complete Truth, Whatever It Takes).”
The Patna edition of Live Times XChange reinforced the importance of collaboration between leadership, media, and the public. As India moves towards 2047, such forums are vital for strengthening democracy, encouraging civic engagement, and promoting informed public discourse.
