The Association of Cinematic Technology & Art (ACTA) envisions transforming Bihar into a globally recognized hub for Animation, Visual Effects (VFX), Gaming, Comics, Extended Reality (XR), and Digital Content Creation by 2031.

The foundation of this vision is based on Bihar's demographic advantage, where more than 60% of the population is below the age of 35. ACTA believes that this youthful workforce can become a powerful driver of innovation and creative technology. By creating awareness, developing industry-relevant skills, and fostering entrepreneurship, Bihar can emerge as Eastern India's leading destination for digital content production, animation, gaming, and immersive technologies.
ACTA's mission focuses on five strategic pillars: increasing awareness of AVGC careers among students, building a skilled workforce, encouraging startups and entrepreneurship, attracting national and international investments, and establishing Bihar as a recognized creative technology ecosystem. These objectives are designed to bridge the existing gap between talent availability and industry opportunities while ensuring long-term economic growth for the state.
To achieve this transformation, ACTA has set ambitious goals for 2031. The organization aims to reach over 100,000 students through awareness programs, train more than 25,000 youth in fields such as VFX, animation, gaming, motion graphics, video editing, virtual production, and AI-assisted content creation. Furthermore, the vision seeks to generate 25,000 direct jobs and 50,000 indirect employment opportunities, significantly reducing migration while strengthening Bihar's digital economy.
A major component of the vision is entrepreneurship development. ACTA plans to support more than 500 creative startups, establish 100 production units, and facilitate the growth of 50 AVGC service companies. Through mentorship, incubation support, networking opportunities, and access to funding, aspiring entrepreneurs will be empowered to build sustainable businesses within Bihar. These efforts are expected to stimulate innovation and create a self-sustaining creative industry ecosystem.
The roadmap begins in Year 1 (2026–27) with an Awareness and Foundation Phase. ACTA proposes launching the Bihar AVGC Awareness Mission, conducting seminars across all 38 districts, partnering with educational institutions, and building an industry database. The goal is to reach at least 25,000 students and create statewide awareness regarding emerging career opportunities in the AVGC sector.
In Year 2 and Year 3 (2027–29), the focus shifts to skill development and industry engagement. ACTA plans to establish ten AVGC Skill Development Centers, train 5,000 students, and provide industry certifications. Simultaneously, Bihar AVGC Summits will be organized to bring together major studios, gaming companies, technology firms, and industry experts. These initiatives will strengthen industry-academia collaboration, create placement opportunities, and directly connect Bihar's talent pool with national and international employers.
