Submit DPR for Wainganga-Nalganaga river linking by Oct 15: Fadnavis to officials

The project is estimated to irrigate 3.7 lakh hectare of agricultural land in Vidarbha, particularly in Amravati, Yavatmal, Akola and Buldhana.

Earlier in the day, Fadnavis reviewed the status of the Viksit Maharashtra 2047 document which proposes to achieve a trillion dollar economy by 2030 and a $5 trillion economy by 2047 from the present level of $550 billion by further promoting the manufacturing sector.

The document focused on industries, water resources, energy, higher and technical education, school education, skill development, social justice, industry, services, information technology, finance, health, tourism among others to achieve its mission.

Fadnavis said that the Maharashtra Vision Document 2047, like the Gita, the Bible, the Quran and the Constitution are guiding principles for the future, adding that the future policies of the state should be formulated according to this vision.

“We should put all our efforts to ensure that it is not just a paper presentation but is actually achieved. Our policies should be designed according to this vision. If we work continuously on this vision for the next five years, we will definitely fulfill the dream of a Viksit Maharashtra in 2047. We are on the right track,” he said at the review meeting.

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that this vision provides a clear picture of how Maharashtra should be after twenty-two years.

“This is a blueprint that gives direction to the state, keeping in mind the future needs. One can move forward only if one has big dreams. Along with the government, the responsibility of administration is also important. This vision has the power to fulfill the expectations of the people. The main objective is to reach the last segment of the society,” he remarked.
