On Maharashtra Day, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis extended greetings to the people of Maharashtra and highlighted the state's achievements in inclusive development. This year marks the 200th birth anniversary of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and the 150th of Saint Gadge Maharaj, alongside the centenary of the Chavdar Tale battle, emphasizing the theme of equality and social harmony. Maharashtra contributes over 13.5% to India's GDP and attracted ₹1,64,875 crore (approximately $19.8 billion USD) in foreign direct investment in 2024-25, which accounts for 39% of the total FDI in the country. The state has ambitious plans to become a $5 trillion economy by 2047. Infrastructure projects are being accelerated, including the construction of the Fourth Mumbai port at Vadhavan and the operationalization of metro lines across major cities. The Jalyukt Shivar initiative is crucial for water conservation, especially with predictions of below-average rainfall due to El Nino conditions. Additionally, the state aims to increase the number of 'Lakhpati Didis'—women who have become financially independent—to 50 lakh this year through various empowerment schemes.
