Good to see the focus on making Maharashtra drought-free. That is the real challenge. Investments are welcome, but water security for our farmers is non-negotiable. The Ladki Behna Yojana is also a step in the right direction for women's empowerment.

The Small Modular Reactors partnership with Russia is interesting. We need clean, reliable power to fuel this growth. But I hope due diligence is done on safety and environmental impact. Self-reliance in energy is crucial for our future.

As someone who has worked in Maharashtra's development sector, the promises sound great on paper. The real test is execution and ensuring benefits reach the grassroots. The 30 lakh houses scheme has been announced before; hope to see them completed on time.

Respectfully, while the speech highlights development, we must not forget the current challenges - inflation, unemployment among youth, and agrarian distress in parts of the state. Hope the government's actions match the words in the coming year.
