Maharashtra Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule launches 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Maharajswa Abhiyan'

Maharashtra Revenue Minister launches 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Maharajswa Abhiyan' to deliver on-spot resolution of 15+ key citizen services.

"The administration must run to the people to deliver services. - Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule"

Mumbai, February 20

Marking the auspicious occasion of Shiv Jayanti, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Friday launched the 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Maharajswa Abhiyan', an intensive drive aimed at delivering speedy, transparent and citizen-centric revenue services across Maharashtra, a release said.

Under this flagship initiative, more than 15 major revenue services will be resolved and delivered on the spot during dedicated 'Samadhan Shibir' camps. The campaign will cover every revenue circle as well as areas under municipal councils and nagar panchayats, with special six-day camp schedules spread over March, April and May.

The statewide implementation will be personally monitored on a daily basis by the Revenue Minister. District-level committees headed by respective District Collectors have been constituted, while a high-level State Monitoring Committee under the chairmanship of the Revenue Minister -- including the Revenue Minister of State Yogesh Kadam, ACS Revenue and twelve members of the Legislative Council -- will oversee policy decisions, progress tracking and accountability.

Speaking after the issuance of the Government Resolution, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said, "Following detailed discussions with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, we have decided to dedicate this Shiv Jayanti to the welfare of common citizens, farmers, agricultural labourers, students and women. Through the 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Maharajswa Samadhan Shibir Abhiyan (Phase-1)', the administration will resolve long-pending revenue matters in a time-bound manner."

The Minister emphasized that the core philosophy of the campaign is: "The administration must run to the people to deliver services." This initiative is expected to save citizens considerable time, travel and expense, the release added.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with both Deputy Chief Ministers, Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, attended the Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj birth anniversary programme at Shivneri fort in Pune a day ago.

Launching this on Shiv Jayanti is a great symbolic gesture. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj stood for good governance (Swarajya). Hope this 'administration running to the people' philosophy is implemented in spirit, not just on paper. We've seen many such 'drives' fizzle out after the initial announcement.

Transparency and speed in revenue services? I'll believe it when I see it. The committee has 12 MLCs... hope this doesn't become another excuse for political tours and photo-ops instead of actual work. The intent is good, but the execution is what matters.

As someone who recently moved to Pune for work and is trying to get some documentation sorted, this sounds promising. Saving time and travel expense is a big deal. Hope they publicize the camp schedules clearly in each area well in advance.

Focusing on farmers, labourers, and students is the right approach. These are the sections that suffer the most from bureaucratic delays. If they can get their 7/12 extracts, caste certificates, or income certificates quickly, it will make a real difference in their lives. Good step.

The daily monitoring by the Minister is key. Accountability has to be at the top. But they must also set up a simple public grievance system for this Abhiyan so people can report if the camps in their area are not functioning as promised.
