Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Tuesday appealed to citizens to participate in the state government's initiative to create a Vision Document for 'Viksit Maharashtra @2047'. In his statement in the Assembly and Council, he said after successfully implementing the 100-day program, the state government has announced a 150-day campaign from May 6 to October 2, 2025. A key focus of this initiative is the creation of a 'Vision Document for Viksit Maharashtra @2047'. He urged all MLAs, Divisional Commissioners, District Collectors, and Zilla Parishad CEOs to encourage citizens to actively participate in the 'Viksit Maharashtra - 2047' survey. 'To formulate the vision, long-term goals (Maharashtra @2047), medium-term goals (Maharashtra @75), and short-term objectives have been defined. For drafting the Vision Document, 16 sectoral working groups have been established. "The development plan is based on four pillars: Progressive, sustainable, inclusive, and good governance for balanced regional development. "A statewide citizen survey is currently being conducted from June 18 to July 17, to gather public opinion, expectations, aspirations, and priorities,' said Dy CM Pawar. He appealed to all legislators to promote the survey through social media, public meetings, and community engagements and called on all divisional and district-level administrative heads to mobilise citizens. The survey is accessible via a QR code and link available on the official Maharashtra Government website, and responses can be submitted through a WhatsApp chatbot.

The vision document will be developed across three phases: 2029, 2035, and 2047. Key focus areas will include improving Ease of Living through better office services, enhancing Ease of Doing Business by simplifying business services, and promoting Government to Government coordination for seamless inter-departmental functioning, he said.

Maharashtra to become $1 trillion economy by 2030, says CM Fadnavis
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said his government has charted out a multidimensional roadmap for the state's progress and it will become a $1 trillion economy by 2030. "Maharashtra is firmly on the path to becoming a trillion-dollar economy by 2030," Fadnavis said while addressing the "India Investment Forum 2025" here. At the meet, the CM presented a comprehensive overview of Maharashtra's economic, industrial, social, and environmental strides. He highlighted that the state's economy has already crossed the half-trillion-dollar mark. An Economic Advisory Council (EAC), headed by Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, in collaboration with 20 senior CEOs, has developed a robust roadmap covering infrastructure, industries, services, agriculture, and fintech sectors in Maharashtra, the CM noted. He announced that the "Viksit Maharashtra 2047" blueprint will be unveiled on October 2, featuring short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. The Chief Minister emphasized that Maharashtra's industrial power is no longer confined to Mumbai and Pune. Areas like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Gadchiroli, Nashik, and Raigad are emerging rapidly through EV hubs, steel cities, and integrated industrial townships, making the entire state an industrial powerhouse, he maintained. Massive infrastructure investment worth $100 billion is underway, including in Vadhavan Port, Nagpur-Goa expressway, new airports, Mumbai Metro and coastal road projects, Fadnavis stated. "These will transform Maharashtra's transport and trade logistics," he insisted. Mumbai is witnessing swift urban renewal with the Dharavi Redevelopment Project aimed at rehabilitating 8 lakh citizens. The government is also introducing a unified mobility solution through a single transport card and integrated mobile app, the CM pointed out. Coastal areas are being cleaned through advanced sewage treatment systems, he noted. Fadnavis said Maharashtra remains the top state in attracting foreign direct investment, accounting for 40 per cent of India's total FDI. He credited this success to an integrated digital single-window system, expansion of MIDC industrial parks and establishment of a Cabinet Committee on Investment. "The state is intensifying efforts in water security, technology, and power supply for farmers. By 2026, the government plans to provide free daytime solar electricity, enhancing agricultural productivity and income," he told the forum. Maharashtra has drafted a comprehensive five-year tourism development plan. Under the plan, the state will focus on local community involvement, conservation zones, and infrastructure, Fadnavis said.
