This is a great initiative! Maharashtra has always been the economic powerhouse of India. With proper planning and citizen participation, we can definitely achieve the $5 trillion target. I've already submitted my suggestions focusing on better urban infrastructure and public transport. Jai Maharashtra! 🇮🇳

Hope they seriously consider rural development and women empowerment in this vision document. Cities like Mumbai and Pune are developing fast, but villages still lack basic facilities. Also, what about environmental sustainability? Growth shouldn't come at nature's cost.

The QR code system is smart, but what about those without smartphones? Government should also arrange physical suggestion boxes in gram panchayats and municipal offices to make this truly inclusive.

As a teacher, I've suggested major education reforms. We need to focus on quality, not just quantity. Also, skill development should be integrated with school education to prepare youth for future jobs. Maharashtra can lead the way in this! ✏️

Good intentions, but implementation is key. Previous vision documents have remained on paper. Hope this time there will be proper monitoring and periodic reviews. Also, transparency in fund utilization is crucial - maybe blockchain technology can help?

Focus should be on balanced regional development. Mumbai gets all the attention, but cities like Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Kolhapur need equal opportunities. Also, Marathwada's water crisis must be addressed in this vision. #WaterForAll 💧
