CM Fadnavis pushes Maharashtra to lead in PCI​

CM Devendra Fadnavis pushes for SMT action plans to make Maharashtra a leader in per capita income, focusing on 2030 targets and underdeveloped districts.

"There is no dearth of funds in the state, but rather a lack of a viable project pipeline. - Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis"

Mumbai, April 8

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday instructed the administration to focus on the speedy and effective implementation of the vision document for Viksit Maharashtra 2047, so that the state can transcend being merely a large economy and become a leader in per capita income.​

He said that the period from 2026 to 2030 is critical for both the state and the nation, and directed all departments to focus on achieving measurable targets by 2030. ​

The Chief Minister was speaking at a meeting of the Vision Management Regulatory Board, held today to review the implementation of the 2047 roadmap.​

CM Fadnavis emphasised that any vision remains a mere paper exercise without a solid implementation policy. ​

He said the state has established a Vision Management Unit to conduct in-depth discussions with every department, and targets have been clearly bifurcated to be achieved by 2030.​

While advanced districts will leverage new technology for faster growth, the Chief Minister highlighted that the 11 underdeveloped districts hold massive potential and must become the next growth engines to bridge the gap with the national average. ​

He stressed that action plans must be Specific, Measurable, and Time-bound (SMT), with 100 per cent target completion aimed for within the next four years.​

The Chief Minister clarified that no separate massive funds would be allocated for this vision; instead, work must be done within the existing financial framework. ​

He urged a shift away from "Business as Usual" and directed departments to proactively secure funds from Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes. ​

"There is no dearth of funds in the state, but rather a lack of a viable project pipeline," he remarked.​

He noted that projects must be ready and robust enough to attract funding from sources like Public-Private Partnership models, the Asian Development Bank, and the World Bank. ​

He also mandated that the impact of any policy be measured 6 months to 1 year after its announcement.​

To ensure transparency and accountability, CM Fadnavis instructed that all departments must finalise their action plans in coordination with the Finance Department by April 30. Progress will be tracked via a Dynamic Monitoring Dashboard. Regular reviews will be conducted to ensure every department meets its benchmarks.​

During the session, Principal Secretary (Planning) A. Shaila gave a comprehensive presentation on the Mission Document. This was followed by detailed presentations from departments including Agriculture, Industry, Tourism, Urban Development, Energy, Health, and Education, detailing their specific roadmaps toward the 2047 goal.​

The Chief Minister concluded by expressing satisfaction with the groundwork laid so far and called on all departments to work in coordination and with responsibility to turn the dream of Viksit Maharashtra 2047 into a reality.​

Finally some concrete talk about tracking progress with a dashboard! "Business as usual" has held us back for too long. If they can actually secure funds from central schemes without needing separate massive allocations, it shows fiscal prudence. Good step.

Ambitious vision, but I'm skeptical. They say no dearth of funds, only lack of project pipeline. But in my district, basic roads and water supply are issues. Will these grand plans trickle down to solve our daily problems? Hope so, but seen many vision documents gather dust.

The focus on underdeveloped districts as the next growth engines is the most important part. Bridging the gap with the national average is essential for true, equitable development. The PPP and international funding angle is interesting if managed transparently.

Measuring policy impact after 6 months to a year is a great move. Too often, schemes are launched with fanfare and then forgotten. Accountability is key. Hope the Dynamic Monitoring Dashboard is made public for citizen oversight!

As someone from one of those 11 districts, I truly hope this isn't just another political promise. We have potential but need infrastructure and investment. If they can attract World Bank/ADB funding for local projects, it could be a game-changer. Fingers crossed! 🙏
