Speaking to the media after the cabinet meeting, Fadnavis said, “The Cabinet has given an approval for the vision document – Viksit Maharashtra 2047 today. All departments played a crucial role in making the document after adequate consultations with more than seven lakh stakeholders.” The development-centric plan has set an ambitious goal of attaining a USD 5 trillion dollar economy in the centenary year of the country’s Independence.
According to the press release issued by the CMO, “The government conducted a state-wide survey with the help of the Directorate General of Information and Public Relations to seek the views, expectations, suggestions, aspirations, and priorities of citizens regarding Viksit Maharashtra-2047.”
The release added that after this survey, the cabinet chaired by Fadnavis approved the vision document and the establishment of a vision management unit (VMU) for its implementation.
According to Fadnavis the document will be enforced in three phases between 2025 to 2047. These have been categorised as — short-term vision: up to October 2, 2029 (with annual goals); medium-term vision: up to May 1, 2035 (Maharashtra@75) and long-term vision: up to August 15, 2047 (India@100). Sixtee sectoral groups were formed to draft the document, covering agriculture, industry, services, tourism, urban development, energy and sustainability, water, transport, education and skill development, health, social welfare, soft power, governance, technology, security and finance.
The groups are categorised under four pillars — progressive, sustainable, inclusive, and good governance, the release said.
More than 100 initiatives have been incorporated in the vision document, addressing urban and rural aspects. These include empowering farmers through higher income with climate-resilient practices; establishing Maharashtra as a global hub for design and manufacturing; and creating slum-free, clean, disaster-resilient, affordable and fully-employed cities with robust public transport.
It also entails building world-class talent hubs to promote inclusive, industry-aligned education and entrepreneurship; providing universal access to affordable, quality healthcare and reducing premature mortality by one-third; as well as enhancing administrative efficiency through technology.
